Brian and Kathleen knocked it out of the park with this cottage remodel. My boyfriend and I just got home from a week long vacation in CA, and all we can talk about is our time at the cottage! At first, we were worried we wouldn't be close enough to the hustle and bustle, but the location was perfect for us! It's close to restaurants and shops downtown, and it's only a short drive to the city. That said, the cottage is peacefully tucked into a family-friendly neighborhood, making it cozy and quiet. The location really is the best of both worlds. The interior is beautifully decorated, and Brian's description is both accurate and modest. The bed is extremely comfortable, the shower has great water pressure, the ceiling fan and heating system both work smoothly, and the entire cottage is bright and clean. It was very apparent to the both of us that a lot of time, work, and love went into making this place welcoming and special. We liked it so much, we cancelled our last hotel and requested an extra night! Brian was quick to respond, and even asked us if we would like to join him and his family for dinner! We accepted, and had a lovely time. It was probably one of our most memorable nights in CA. Brian, Kathleen, and their children were all such great company. Our stay at the cottage will always be one of those memories we hold near and dear to our hearts. We know we will be back one day!
