Stayed Nov 14, 2025Absolutely amazing stay! There was delicious baked bread and wine for us upon arrival. The home was lovely— well stocked, super clean, and the beds/linens very comfortable! The hosts and their dogs were so welcoming and they even provided extra firewood so we could enjoy the night outside. Highly recommend!!

Stayed Aug 31, 2025This charming cottage was everything we hoped for and more. The hosts were incredibly welcoming — their sweet dogs added an extra touch of joy to our visit. The fresh homemade bread basket waiting for us was such a thoughtful surprise. Cozy, peaceful, and full of heart. Highly recommend! I'm looking to book again and again!
