→ About the Property

Wildflower Cottage is located on a shared property, but the cottage itself and the fenced in front yard is entirely private.

Guests have exclusive use of:

- The cottage

- The private fenced front yard

- The deck overlooking the backyard

The backyard beyond the deck is a shared outdoor space and active garden. From time to time, you may see the owner gardening, watering, or caring for the landscape.

The owner and her dog live in a separate area of the property with their own entrance, and your private guest spaces remain separate.

Please Note: If you're accessing the shared backyard with your dog, we recommend keeping your dog leashed and under your control in the shared backyard unless you've confirmed it's clear.

The private fenced front yard is for your exclusive use and is a great space for your dog to relax and play.

→ Outdoor Space

Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, relax in the private fenced front yard, or unwind on the patio surrounded by gardens.

The backyard is a shared outdoor space with gardens and a greenhouse. Guests are welcome to stroll through the garden paths and enjoy the scenery, while being mindful that the owner may occasionally be tending the gardens or using the greenhouse.

Please:

- Stay on garden paths whenever possible.
