The space
When you pull up to the cardinal cottage you will instantly know you are at the right house. It is painted a beautiful autumn red. The long driveway offers plenty of parking. Please note while this home is a ranch there are 3 steps to get into the house.

Luggage rack, hangers, and chest of drawers for your clothes.

The main living space is a living and dining area. It features a sofa (with sleeper bed) and an oversized chair. The area is comfy cozy for you to watch a movie on our 50" Roku TV.
The dining table is already set for 4 people, justing waiting for you to enjoy.

Stay warm with our super soft blankets and enjoy the peace and quiet.

The fully equipped kitchen has all the space you'll need and all the regular amenities featuring a drip coffee maker with all the extras you'll need for a cup of coffee or tea (although I would highly suggest giving the local coffee shops (cracked pot, java Jonnys, and triple moon) a try.

We do provide the simple stuff as well like salt, pepper and vegetable oil.

We offer high-speed wi-fi throughout the house.
In-unit washer/dryer with enough supplies for 3 loads.

Bathroom with tub/shower, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hairdryer and towels. Please note that I opted to keep the original door from 1930. It can stick slightly so I also attached a latch to ensure it stays shut when needed.

Our favorite thing about this house is the outside. A front porch with bistro table, a large back deck with dining table, a yard with a fire pit, this is truly a place to sit and unwind.

We've tried to think of everything you'll need to feel restful and at home during your stay.

Other things to note
To assist with setting expectations: This is a simple 1930's cottage. I have put my blood sweat and tears into thoughtfully restoring it to shine while maintaining affordability. However, it is still a home from 1930 not everything is brand new. Her quirks are what make her unique and give her the charm I love. She may not be super luxurious but feels warm, welcoming and homey with modern amenities. The neighborhood is good and the neighbors are nice but being close to town you may still hear the occasional car or children playing in the back yard. The cottage is great for people who want to be comfortable and feel safe without breaking the bank.
