Even though the spectacular reviews sounded authentic, I remained skeptical that Holly's place could live up to the lofty comments and innumerable 5-star ratings. How could it be so reasonably priced when it was a beautifully decorated independent cottage within a quick walk to cool Larchmont Village? And was Holly for real? She promptly and helpfully responded to my many questions and seemed remarkably concerned that our stay exceed our expectations. Too good to be true? Just the opposite. Lucky for us, Holly's cottage was one of the most charming, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, perfectly located places (including 5-star hotels) in which we have stayed. And even after our departure (when she was across the country settling her son into college), Holly took the time to wish us well and welcome us back someday. We can't wait to return. And you shouldn't have any reservations about this listing being too good to be true. Because it's actually better than the reviews and photos make it sound!
