Our little cottage

Our up coming reunion may have been filled with planning but finding this little gem was a breeze. The ownership communicated well and not a note was missed. The property was amazing, clean, cute and had every little finishing touch to make us feel right at home. The location was perfectly and conveniently placed within a 3 minute stroll for coffee and amazing views. What an exceptional find. Thank you!

Cozy Cottage

Everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. We requested a late (11:00pm) check-in and when we arrived the cottage was lit up and easily accessible. The location allowed us to walk to restaurants, a local brewery, and a coffee shop. We will definitely stay here again during our visit to the area.

My Staty

I loved the cottage! I will suggest a few things: The front door knob is loose and the doors do not align to use the dead bolt. Having a small table and chairs where the sitting chairs would be a nice option for those that could use more table space to eat as well as use a laptop computer.

False Advertising

The picture on VRBO along with the binder in the Serendipity cottage clearly has the yard on the left which belongs to the owner of the cottage who resides next door with 2 huge germam shepherds. She clearly makes you feel uneasy by her demeanor and the dogs. barking ntofrileftincludthe ad. This isNotthe case. THE

Quaint and clean

We really enjoyed staying in Serendipity II. It was decorated so cute for the fall and Halloween season. It made it very homey and cozy. Plenty of blankets since it was cool the couple of days we were there. Had everything we needed to make a couple of meals and hot beverages. And we even enjoyed the lower covered area by doing some yoga. Great little place. Thanks again for having us!
