Garden Cottage in Downtown Mathews

Emily and Wil are wonderful, responsive hosts! We had one small issue and they responded within minutes. The cottage is probably nicer than described and convenient to everything we wanted to do. We would definitely stay there again!

Bob's Review

Emily’s house was beautiful! Between the beautiful decor and the sweet note welcoming us, it was the perfect location for a quick birthday getaway! You’re less then a block from the restaurants in town, and if you need something from the grocery store you couldn’t be closer. Hope to go back for another visit!
