The Ivy Cottage pleasantly surprised my friends and me. Erick greeted us and gave us a tour first thing, pointing out helpful items and ideas as he went. The house itself is at the back of a garage, and is charmingly constructed, with one bedroom and a full bathroom with laundry downstairs, a nook in the upstairs with a sofa, tv, and bed, and another bedroom with a half bath off of it on the other half of the room. The kitchen and living room downstairs are perfectly suited for small gatherings and more well-suited to cooking and hanging out for four mid-forties and up women. The kitchen is incredibly well supplied with utensils, dinnerware, storage containers and foils/wraps. One of the loveliest parts was the yard. There is a comfortable seating and separate dining area just outside the house, with a small fence to separate the area from the owner's yard and their dogs. They welcomed us to use their yard too, with a huge couch with a fantastic view of Little Cottonwood at the west end of the property. I was able to put up my hammock and enjoy some reading on the trees to the north end of the property. The small a/c units did an admirable job of cooling the unit, and the bathrooms were very clean, tidy, and well-stocked. I would stay here again in a heartbeat if budget and plans allow it, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cozy, gorgeous, convenient location.
