    Jan was so nice and easy to work with with all my many questions. Fireplace was my favorite because we stayed during the snow apocalypse of 2026. We look forward to another visit during warmer weather to experience the yard. House stayed toasty even if the fireplace wasn't going. I do advise as someone who is a bit particular on cookware and if you're planning to cook most meals while staying it wouldn't hurt to bring just a few pots and pans. Not saying what they have wouldn't work for a couple's weekend. I'm a cast iron pan/skillet by preference so no offense intended. Regardless we loved the stay.

    Jan and Den are the most gracious of hosts. They were also extremely interesting and easy to talk to. We loved touring their compound and were blown away by all the beautiful and creative aspects] of the homestead. We felt very special when Wisteria Cottage burst into full bloom overnight--just for us. Our brief stay was delightful and we feel as if we have made new friends!!

    We enjoyed our stay, but will probably not stay there again. We thought it was 5 blocks to the lake & not even close. Also, we didn't feel comfortable using the 2 bicycles on the the 4 lane busy highway the house was on. Nice but probably wouldn't go back.

    We enjoyed our stay. We loved the enclosed porch and the beautiful surrounding garden. The sleeping quarters was tight but were able to navigate through it. We would recommend it for any couple looking for a quick get away. It is a little tight for families, especially with the sleeping arrangements and one bathroom. Other than that... Absolutely amazing.

Located minutes from everything. Excellent communication from the host. I'd give more than 5 stars if i could! Highly recommend this place.

    This is a very cute little cottage! Nice and cozy and has everything you need! It is right off of the highway so really convenient to get to. There is a train that goes by out front but, the house is surrounded with beautiful landscaping and plants and it’s like you’re in your own little world inside the home and out in the back of the house. The back has a small little pond with a water fountain, a nice deck and screened in porch that overlooks the pretty garden/patio area with a fire pit, grill, table with umbrella, & 2 bikes! So cute and cozy. We stayed for our anniversary. It’s a great place for a couple to be comfortable and relaxed!
