On arrival, the door was open and the cottage waiting for us as promised, very welcoming. Mike’s notebook was thorough and informative; everything about the cottage seemed to be covered, and it also included a lot of information about the history of the neighborhood, and how this lovely place came to be. We were impressed by the thoughtful touches: fresh coffee beans and grinder, umbrellas should it ever rain again, and more. The description on Airbnb is absolutely correct, and the photos accurately reflect the beautiful cottage and the garden that is Mike’s yard. Everywhere you look, there are beautiful elements that surprise and delight. His artistry is present and engaging in each perspective, but there is nothing “hands-off” about it. Often there are touches of humor that invites you to share in the amusement. The nearby Poetry Bridge led to the restaurant where we had our Thanksgiving dinner, 100 Wines. The walk was short, and crossing the bridge was a nice experience. This is a place I recommend without hesitation, and I hope to return for another stay soon.
