The cottage was great, perfect size for my wife and I. The cottage shares a backyard with the house but they weren't out there, that we saw. It had everything we needed for cooking and Kathleen offers any items from their house one may need. Nice location, near enough to downtown but avoids the hustle/bustle and close to the hip Junction area. Close to busline and free shuttle to downtown water taxi. My wife said the bed could be more comfortable but I slept just fine. Blackout curtains on some of the windows susceptible to outside light was a nice touch.
