My husband and I stayed at Shelley's cottage for over a month. The house was adorable. So quiet and peaceful. Coffee on the porch every morning listening to the birds sing. The back porch is screened in which came in handy as the season changed and bugs started coming out of hibernation. We found everything that we wanted to do within 10-15 minutes away... very convenient. There is a grocery store that has basics less than 5 miles away. And you must visit Joelton Hardware. Tell Chris we said hello. She serves hamburgers/beer/wine nightly with local live music. Not your normal hardware store. ;-) We highly recommend.
