Lovely setting

LOVELY SETTING! Loved the outside area which had picnic tables, chairs around a fire pit and also a gas pit. We took some walks around the neighborhood and down one street was a beautiful view of the water. We were with another couple and decided we would definitely come back here. The cottages were very clean and cute. Loved our stay!
