Cozy mountain cottage

Loved staying at this beautiful cottage. It was very clean and has many items in the house to make it cozy and welcoming. The outdoor porch area with fireplace and T.V. is where we spent most of our time. Located very close to town was a plus as well. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Nice cottage

The cottage was very clean and nicely decorated. We enjoyed our stay close to town and sitting outside in front of the fire watching football. Only downside was no espn so we went into town to watch a college game. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and owners were very responsive.

Staying at beautifully decorated Dogwood Cottage completed our festival weekend getaway!

3 might getaway

Just a couple of suggestions. The dishwasher never worked and we had to hand wash everything. We cooked in one evening and breakfast 2 mornings. Very inconvenient. We also enjoy playing games at the dining table and it is too dark to see well. The cabin itself is very nice and comfortable.
