We were greeted with smiles upon arrival by Gwen & Barry and after a quick walk-through of the beautiful cottage they had some great recommendations for breakfast, groceries and shopping very close by. They had saved a calendar for us from a local newspaper full of events going on during our stay.

The area was quiet and scenic with close access to great hiking trails and bus routes to allow for downtown day-trips without worrying about parking.

The space was cozy, clean and had all the amenities we could hope for throughout our 1-month stay. A large skylight naturally lights up the cottage during the day and provides a view of the stars at night. We woke up refreshed to the sounds of nature each day, and enjoyed spending time on the attached garden patio.

Anyone with an upcoming stay at the Ivy Oak Guest Cottage can look forward to the comforts of home thanks to two of the friendliest and most hospitable hosts we’ve met. We will definitely keep the guest cottage in mind for family & friends coming to visit in the future.

Big thanks to Gwen & Barry!
