Very cozy just the perfect size for my family and dogs. Clean and had all the amenities we needed. Just wish the backyard was enclosed to let the dogs roam without a leash. Driveway is a bit difficult to back out of due to fence causing blind spot. Best to park on the street. We will most likely stay again in the future for sure!

Cute cottage with nice comfy spaces. Would have been excellent if the yard was fully enclosed, but the pup biscuits and towels to wipe feet were great. Also the shower was nice hot water and good pressure. Well appointed kitchen, we made a nice spaghetti dinner. Good location to check out the area.

The Potter's Bungalow was delightful! It had everything our party of 5 needed. It is attractive, clean, comfortable, quiet, and located in a really cute area. We walked to the Farmer's Market. If I return to the area, this is where I want to stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very comfortable. Would stay here again if the opportunity arises. The light in the shower takes awhile to brighten up, and the one over the toilet isn't bright, but otherwise all other lights are great. Suggestion for the future, a higher toilet.

Nice quiet stay

We had a nice quiet stay in this small but comfortable house. Everything was clean and easy to find. Only problem was the internet was painfully slow but it wasnt a big deal, we were only here to eat and sleep.
