Other Details to Note
So much care and consideration went into the renovation of this cottage. It is a beloved property that I look forward to returning to when vising friends and family. To keep it clean and comfortable, kindly refrain from smoking or vaping on the property and please remove shoes indoors. For the consideration and safety of future guests with allergies, please do not bring pets of any kind onto the property. Please note that this is a residential working neighborhood that is quiet in the evenings. Please respect our neighbors and keep noise levels minimal after 9 PM. Thank you! -Hayley
