While this property is new to VRBO, we are not new to hosting. We loved our first cottage (VRBO #2249821; 9.8/10 based on 48 reviews) but when our neighbors decided to sell their cottage, we couldn't pass up the opportunity for a larger space on the same quiet street. We're working to make this one our own and continue creating memories, even with it's quirks (unlevel floors in a couple of spots). We look forward to sharing it with you.
