Beautiful cottage in a perfect location
We stayed here during the long weekend for the 4th of July. It was a great weekend. The weather was a little dicey at times but this cottage is VERY nice, on the water, and a 2 minute walk to all that Alden’s downtown has to offer. Probably the nicest rental property in the area.
