The Cottage Now w/late check out on Sundays!

The Cottage is a cozy little home located in a quiet neighborhood in the tiny town of Hanna City. If you aren't looking for it, it is very easy to drive right by it because it sits back from the road quite a bit. It's a small stucco cottage (750 sq ft) w/a big brown roof. There is an apple tree in the front yard and a charming front porch w/a couple of chairs. We strive to provide a comfortable, homey place for guests. The cottage is not fancy, but it is clean and welcoming :)
