The space
Built in 1910 and fully restored, Betz Cottage offers cozy historic charm with all the comforts of a modern home. Sleeping up to 6 guests across three private bedrooms, it's the kind of place made for slow holiday mornings, long walks through the market, and evenings that you don't want to end. Original heart pine floors, historic gas lanterns, and a century's worth of quiet character.

During renovation, German papers were found tucked inside the walls — a quiet nod to the settlers who once lived here. Now framed and displayed in the home for you to discover.

Dressed for the season. Sink into a comfortable couch for a movie night on the smart TV, curl up with a good book, or gather around for conversation after a full day at the market.

Brick patio with a wood-burning fireplace and gas starter — just turn the key and you have a fire. A nod to original charm with a modern touch.
