Absolutely GREAT STAY——terrific hosts!

Husband and I ( and our German Shepard Lola) wanted a quiet weekend away! This absolutely hit the mark! The cottage was PERFECTION! It is CLEAN and has everything visitors should need. Close to grocery store as well as well placed to see the sites…..or just relax. Did some great front porch sitting watching a rainstorm pass through. Host very communicative… not intrusive at all. The yard was great for Lola … she gives it 4 paws 🐾 up! We are looking forward to future stays! Best VRBO stay to date!!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Maribel

Host profile image
Love for family, nature, animals, sports, and adventurous trips that allow me to learn about new cultures. Restoring this quaint little Cottage and transforming it into a vacation retreat has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Knowing that these spaces bring joy and offer meaningful experiences to our guests fills my heart.

As a devoted business development specialist, I’m passionate about helping individuals and businesses grow and thrive, always guided by my four fundamental points for a fulfilling life. This little space is a reflection of this passion an invitation to create memories and embrace the beauty of life : )

What makes this property unique

... more than just a place to stay, it’s a living piece of history with modern comfort! Instead of letting it fade away, we decided to restore it little by little, with all the love and care it deserves. In a world where so much is disposable, we wanted to rescue and honor a little magical place, filled with memories, hard work, and heart. Every corner of this small retreat tells a story, and we’re so happy to share that with you.
