“I just got back from staying at By The Side of the Road cottages and I have nothing but great things to say. The owners thought of everything. The bed, pillows, and linens were of superior quality and the touches throughout (snacks, your name on a welcome plate, high quality bath products) were noticed and appreciated! I enjoyed the relaxing jacuzzi with the double-sided fireplace being an added benefit. The owners were very kind. I highly recommend! I know I will be back.”
