My brand new husband and I stayed in Karen's lovely cottage the night of our wedding just down the way at Golden Gardens Bathhouse. She is so friendly and inviting, and was so communicative and accommodating with everything from sending us a special offer for our requested night beyond the calendar availability to letting us drop off our overnight bags well before check-in so we could get to our venue on time (she even offered to let us do so the day before!). The cottage is exactly as pictured: it is filled with natural light, impeccably clean, and accented with decor that was clearly lovingly curated (the bathroom was my favorite). Had we more time, we would have loved to play the vintage video games on the shelf, but with our one night, we particularly enjoyed the bathrobes, sparkling water, and Theo chocolate bar awaiting us! The backyard is delightful with its greenhouse, garden, and chickens, and in the morning, we were thrilled by a surprise visit from Junie (aka Junko), their sweet, super purry black cat (we're huge animal lovers, so her cuddles were a great bonus as we wrapped up our stay with coffee from the French press). We'll definitely be recommending this cottage to anyone visiting from out of town, and I have a feeling we'll be back ourselves when we want a little staycation in one of our favorite neighborhoods :) Thank you, Karen!
