I love providing a comfortable, fun place for people to enjoy while they are away from home!
Why they chose this property
You feel like you aren't in the city when staying at The Sanford Sunshine Cottage. Surrounded by towering oak trees, in a quiet neighborhood, it is a great place to relax and have a good nights rest. Great award wining breweries and restaurants are just minutes away from the house. Stroll down first street and shop at some local, unique independently owned shops.
