Helen's cottage was very cute and the private room was just as described. The bed was large and very comfortable. The attached private bath had good hot water and also all the amenities in case you forgot your toiletries. There was parking right in front of the house, which was nice because we didn't need to look for street parking. The backyard has a view of the opposite hill and at night it was very pretty to see the lights.
It appears there were two other tenants who were more long term stays, but everyone was very nice around the house. The living room and kitchen area were shared so we kept to our room for the most part for peace and quiet. Do note that while the weathered look of the cottage adds to the charm, there could be a door or two that isn't in the best working order. We were still able to get around, but thought I would point that out.
The house is located relatively near a trailhead to the wisdom tree. This hike was pleasant early in the morning and being close to the trail meant we didn't need to drive and find a parking spot.
Finally, Helen was very accommodating. We had told her we would arrive late on the first night and she gladly waited to greet us. She also had tons of recommendations around the area as well.
