We had a great stay at the Sweet Pea Cottage when we traveled from Boston to Staten Island for a wedding. We brought our dog along and she was very comfortable and appreciated the relative quiet. We only stayed 2 nights but on the full day we were in town we did a quick trip to Manhattan. We left around 8:30am and walked to the train which goes to the ferry. The ferry ride was great and were in the city just before 10am. We spent a few hours and were able to be home before 3pm to get ready for the wedding. Kathleen was a great host and is an amazing baker. She'll surprise you with some delicious goodies :)
