Julie and Mark's cottage was better than I ever imagined. It is roomy, comfortable and peaceful. It was spotless and we were so excited that they only use hypoallergenic cleaning products, so there are no cloying scents. Everything is modern and thoughtful -- thermostats on both floors, washer/dryer, big refrigerator and range, every kitchen basic you could need (including coffee, sugar and Half & Half!). The beds are comfortable, toilets on both levels, lovely landscaping, driveway parking spot. Even the cool blinds on the windows were a topic of conversation! I could go on and on. Best of all, after a very long trip, Julie and Mark allowed us early check-in and we were able to make ourselves lunch and take long, luxurious naps in total quiet. One of the best rentals we've ever found.
