    It was a very nice little cozy cottage. Only suggestion-amenities in the screened porch (electric heater, TV) along with a solid closure that could allow its use during colder times. Not a complaint, we knew what we were getting, simply a suggestion to improve!

    Cute spot with convenient location in walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Screened porch would have been great in warmer weather but got to use hot tub with snow flakes gently falling.

    The Oriole was the perfect honeymoon stay. We stayed 3 nights in October. Weather wasn't great but we were able to enjoy the hot tub and the screen in porch. The cottage is perfect for a couple. Only downsides were the hot tub jets didnt work great and the shower head needs a deep clean. Check in and out were super easy. Host responded to our one question very quickly. Overall would definitely stay here again.

    Great place to stay for a relaxing weekend away. Perfect walking location to get to all the near by shops and attractions. Taking the bikes for a ride and dipping in the hot tub on the breezy evening was icing on the cake.

    Perfect sized little cabin for a couple. Impeccably clean. Perfect hot tub. Loved the framed newspapers on the wall, added such a fun charm. We plan to book this cabin again soon for our fall getaway.

    Didn't get a chance to stay at this beautiful home due to not being able to have off work last minute but plan to stay in the future!

    Wonderful location, quaint, pleasant accomodations. There was a slight issue with the bathroom door that prevented it from fully closing, though beyond this the space was as described. The kitchen was well-equipped and the bed was comfortable. The host was somewhat responsive via email, though not via the VRBO platform. I would not that the electronic lock does self-lock after a period of time which caught me unaware and left me locked out of the property without my cellphone, wallet, car keys or shoes until I was able to locate a neighbor to call the property manager. Definitely not the fault of the property manager but I think something to note so future guests don't repeat my folly. All in all, I would definitely come back for a stay!
