The Historic Cothren House Cottage & Cabin

We stayed at the Cottage at Cothren, and had a wonderful time! My wife described it as being like staying at a friend’s house, very welcoming and comfortable.
The cottage was once a summer kitchen, and sits a stone’s throw from the main house. Both buildings are of the same stonework style that Mineral Point is famous for. The cottage sports two bedrooms, a family room, and a small bath. The plumbing is all modern, with great water temp and pressure, as well as central air conditioning. There is a microwave, a small fridge, and a coffee machine. Several interesting books and knick-​knacks line the shelves, and the main bedroom has a cute little shelf of chocolates. Out back is a little garden and beyond that is the Cabin at Cothren. Both have exclusive parking with direct access to the road.
The reservation process was great. We booked online, then the owner (who is very pleasant and sociable) contacted us to arrange payment. She processed our credit card through Paypal. A very easy transaction.
Our only comment is that we would have liked to have had a little history of this particular property in a printed form, but I’m certain our hostess would have been more than happy to tell us if we had asked. (I later discovered that there is some historical info on their website.)
It should be noted that the whole town rolls up their sidewalks pretty early, so plan ahead if you want to eat out locally. Also, note that although Unilocal lists this as a bed and breakfast, it is not.
