Relaxing and enjoyable

The house was everything you see on the website Very warm and inviting. Very very clean. I can’t say enough good things about Kirk. He helped me with booking, got in touch with me in the process of getting me the information on how to enter the home once we arrived.

Great trip and PERFECT stay!

My best friend and I had a great girls’ trip and stay at Kirk’s cottage. The location to main street, shops, and eateries was easy and short. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. It was the perfect setting! We had a great stay and couldn’t ask for more.
