The cottage is exactly as pictured, and very well taken care of! Tara is accessible and communicative and kind, and the personal touches throughout the home (including paintings by family, I believe) make it clear this is a special, loved place and not just a rental unit. Any issues that came up were addressed speedily and the beds are very comfortable, with lots of down bedding. Lots of books and activities for all ages (we had kids ages 1-7 and 3 adults), and the nearby Queen street has tons of cute shops, restaurants, and a nice playground. The only surprising thing was that the cottage is right next to a large convenience store (which is great!), but amazingly it still feels so private thanks to the thoughtful fencing and landscaping. We look forward to hopefully coming back sometime in warmer weather (though the garden room was also beautiful in the spring rain!)
