Lovely Cottage
So fortunate we found this charming cottage on Afton Mountain. It was so beautifully decorated, and clean and comfortable in every way. We stayed over the holiday visiting family and couldn’t been happier to return each day. George was so helpful and what a pleasure meeting the owner’s friendly pups that reside next door. We’re looking forward to returning again. Jeanne F.

Charming Cottage with all of the Essentials
My husband and I had a wonderful stay here for our Anniversary weekend. The cottage is so charming, homey, and cute. It was clean and had everything we might need tor a short weekend stay. We met Joe who was very nice and he showed us around. The property was beautiful with a view of the mountains and is close to hiking and wineries. Joe and Elizabeth left us homemade banana bread, wine and a cheese snack which was such a nice touch and really made us feel at home. Thank you both for a wonderful stay.
