Beautiful area!

This was such a pleasant stay! The property manager, Susan, amde everything so easy. The cottage was comfortable and well appointed. One member of our group was concerned about a few stained items, but to me that was pretty minor. Quite a peaceful stay!

Cozy cabin

Loved this cozy cabin. Perfect for me and my daughter vacation. And I loved the fact that it was pet friendly, I was able to bring my fur babies with me on this vacation. It was very convenient for the downtown area so I was able to get everything I needed.

Last minute fall break getaway

We loved the location of the Sunshine Cottage! The place was so nice on a large lot that was perfect for our little yorkie to enjoy. The only complaint we had was the firmness of the beds and the seating in the living area but again that's being picky!

Sunshine cottage

This was a great cottage for a family with young children. The location was great to get to Desoto park and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. The kids were able to play outside while we grilled. It was a nice area. We would definitely recommend.
