Priced to be perfect for a one night stop over or a long weekend, but comfortable enough for longer work trips.

Good communication and quick responses from the host." - "If one has balance issues, I dont recommend the property due to being an older home. Downstairs and upstairs one can feel the unevenness. The house has been updated nicely. Contacted owner for entry code upon arrival and response time was within five minutes. Very clean place."

- "This property is very well kept and really cute." - "When the four of us staying at Cottage Clare walked in we all immediately giggled delightfully. Three of us want to move into it permanently. The decorations are quirky, beautifully color coordinated and obviously done by someone who enjoyed making it all work. There are interesting things to see and explore but decorated in such a tasteful fun way. There is a cute trike on top of the fridge!! Besides the charming bones and timeless character, (it’s an older but well cared for home) the beautiful painted floors, the amazing colorful chandeliers, the house was very spacious but still cozy. Two of the beds are huge but all the beds were extremely comfortable. Julie took care of all our needs. She went above and beyond with such kindness and professionalism. Julie is by far the best manager I have dealt with at any vacay rental place. The house was stocked with everything anyone could need with plenty of back ups. I want to return, and often."
