I stayed in the cottage with friends for a long weekend. Everything was clean and exactly as listed. We really appreciate the board games and the labels on the light switches.

We like to travel and stay in little cottages just out of towns while we’re visiting friends in the music business we found this cottage to be exactly as advertised and when in the area we will be calling them again if you’re looking for a clean, very casual little bit out-of-the-way setting This place is perfect. I’ll give it five stars.

This place was absolutely perfect for our little family. The front porch Mountain View was incredible. The host has all light switches and even some cabinets labeled. All very well thought out and was much appreciated! Very close to a lot of awesome things to check out while in the area. We will definitely be back!

I knew this stay was going to be amazing since cardinals hold a very significant piece of my heart. The house was cute and cozy. It was exactly as described, but the backyard is amazing. It is so peaceful and we spent a lot of time there. The front porch was the perfect spot to watch the storms as well. Thank you for sharing your home.

My future fiancé and I booked this place to celebrate our first year together. It looks exactly like the pictures. The hosts are wonderful and beautiful people. Great communication, very responsive hosts, very clean property, small but spacious, washer and dryer was a plus, shopping, food, and activities are within a 20 min drive, beautiful scenery and intimate setting made us LOVE this place. The hosts were thoughtful in stocking the kitchen with dishes and cleaning supplies. All we needed to bring was food and clothes. The hot tub was cleaned and heated the morning before our arrival and I could tell the grass had been treated for mosquitoes( not one bite). My future fiancé had the time of his life, and I am so thankful to have rented from Carol and Ian. 10/10 recommend!!!
