If you love antiques, this faery-tale cottage will be your dream come true. There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms in the cottage. One bathroom has a relaxing jet bath and beautiful views of the treetops. We have a bonus room on the first floor that has a twin bed. This beautiful room has a separate entrance so you must go outside the main cottage to access it. Our kitchen is a sunny step back into the 1950's. The appliances are also from the 50's. We do have a modern dishwasher hiding behind a vintage facade. We provide beautiful vintage dishes/glassware, coffee and a selection of teas. Please help yourself to anything in the home. Our lovely living space is super cozy and mysterious with beautiful antique lighting. All of the window treatments throughout the cottage are hand made by Christine to fit the unique style of the room. Please do not try to close the curtains. The gorgeous hand painted wall paper is reason alone to visit. * We allow 2 well-trained dogs max.
