The first thing that struck me about Karen's cottage was the cleanliness. The neighborhood is quite and beautiful! It's also a very short drive from the center of town. Definitely walkable. Karen made checking in a breeze and had great communication with us beforehand. The bedroom had a great breeze blowing that my husband appreciated very much. We didn't notice until just before we left, but there are sunscreens and after sun lotions in the bathroom. I thought that was a great touch. The thing that struck me most, however, was the note on the fridge explaining that reusable shopping bags were provided, a recycling crate was made available and they compost their food! I fell instantly in love with the place :) (unfortunately we had nothing to add to the compost bin, but it's so cool that it was there). It is very dark at night so be sure to check out the stars and enjoy your stay!
