We stayed about 10 days at The Cottage for our Mayo Rochester visit. The house is cute and cozy, clean, and has home-like additions like throw blankets, games, comfy sofas and pillows, a compost bin, ice/cooler packs, a few fridge bonuses, and local honey with coffee beans (and different methods to make coffee several ways). Mary and Ivan are very generous and allow walking through their beautiful backyard garden, greeting the chickens, and picking off a few veggies for a meal. We enjoyed the side patio as a nice space to wind down, cool off under shade, sipping wine/beer and enjoying the cool breeze through the arbor. The location is super convenient to all the places we needed/wanted to go to and we loved the diversity of restaurants/cuisines within walking distance. We attended a local Greek festival while we were there and the community was friendly and welcoming, not to mention the food was so amazing! While the street was a block from the main drag, it was rather quiet and felt safe both for walking at night and parking the car in front of the house at the curb. The only cons we found was the bed upstairs...it wasn't ideal for our backs, but that's a personal preference and there are 2 other beds to choose from. Also, the stairs are a bit steep...there is a railing, but it takes some more concentration going down them than up them. Overall, a great place to stay if visiting Rochester!
