**We allow and welcome children as we have our own and love to bring them on vacation as well. Recently we have had guests who don't share the appreciation or respect of our cottage as well as others. We politely ask that children (and sloppy adults) do not eat or drink on the furniture or in beds. Please help us keep these items free of stains so that all guests may enjoy them! From this point forward- guests will be charged for damages should we find staining on our furniture or bedding upon departure. If you feel this request is too strict, please do not reserve our cottage.

***Please read entire listing for all information and ask as many questions as necessary prior to making a reservation. Refunds will not be given for lack of any expected amenity.
