The Cottage is truly ADORABLE - it gets great light, is the perfect size and is well laid out. Andy and Ellen go above and beyond by providing fresh organic foods, paraben-free toiletries, good linens, great restaurant recommendations, guides, and directions, an awesome radio (Austin has terrific stations!), really good books, and 2 bikes with helmets all in good condition. They even allow you to use their washer and dryer! They were very gracious, easy, and laid back hosts. There were a couple of pretty MINOR drawbacks: the heater is a tad on the loud side, the bikes needed a little cleaning before use (just a quick rinse really), and the neighbors were doing what seemed like a small renovation project a couple of days, which wouldn't normally be a big deal, but we were trying to escape our landlord's endless renovations and wanted to lay around and read in the mornings. Please don't let these little things discourage you from staying here (we just like to be totally up front and thorough). We had a wonderful time and instantly felt right at home. We never even had to knock on their door because they thought of everything we could have wanted!
