In town for wedding
We loved the carriage house! The pictures on the web site are exactly how the house looks. Having never rented a house before and several unknowns, the owners were very gracious in answering all my questions prior our arrival. The house is so quaint you feel at home immediately! It was nice to have a place to come home to every night and you felt "at home". The only two items we noticed were the mattresses were not the best on two of the three beds. Family members stated you rolled to the middle. And parking is tight if you have multiple vehicles. All is all it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely stay there again! It was sad to leave.

In town for a family wedding
The hosts have done a very thorough and tasteful renovation of this property. It was very well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen supplies. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during a family wedding. It was a very good space for hosting a pre-wedding dinner and brunch the next morning. Thank you!

Comfy and homey
Is very cozy, the owners have put a lot of work into this home to make it a pleasurable stay. the history of this carriage home and the large white home are very interesting as well as other homes close by. Was nice to be back in Fairmont and drive around and see old memories of when we grew up in the area.

Great house with a cool history.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Carriage House (a genuinely refurbished old 19th century carriage house). The owners were attentive and supplied everything we needed. The house was super with a fresh remodel but retaining its historical charm.

Great stay
House was very clean, air conditioning was good and cold, and the kitchen had all the necessities and then some. The only slight drawback was that you have to walk through one of the upstairs sleeping areas in order to get to the other true bedrooms. I would highly recommend this house during your next stay in Fairmont!

Great Jem polished back to a shine
We had great communication with the home owners. When we walked into the home it is a great experience. They have done a great job with decorating. The home has been remodeled with keeping what was special with this house. They modernized a lot of fixtures but kept the feel of the history of the house. They had snacks and drinks for us if we needed. They also had stuff in the showers, extra toothbrushes and paste if needed. Very nice gestures for those that may have forgotten thiers.If in Fairmount I would highly recommend this rental.

Girl's weekend success
Thank you for providing such a wonderful home for our trip at such a reasonable price. I can't think of one thing that the place was missing - there were even snacks and bottles of water in the fridge! We appreciated the list of places to eat as well. Everything in the house was updated, modern and clean. Other reviews mention that parking was difficult or confusing, but in your email prior to arrival I thought that you made it very clear where to park and we didn't have any trouble figuring it out. I wanted to thank you for the easy check out process as well. Other places we have stayed have long lists of things to do upon departure but your requirements were simple (as most people expect when there are cleaning fees added to the bill). The town of Fairmont was fun to explore with my mom, sisters and daughter - if I come back I would definitely stay at your place!
