Charming cottage
Very cozy. Retro feel like going to stay at grandma’s house on the lake. The lake views were amazing. Wish we had had time to go fishing! Would stay again. The host was great. Communicated quickly and pleasantly.

Enjoyed our stay
Pros- beautiful views! Overhang on the porch was nice so we could still sit outside even when it was raining. Highlight LOTS of hummingbirds approached the feeders so close to us! Beds in bedrooms comfortable. Host was VERY responsive. Cons- it is older just be aware of that especially in terms of bathrooms & kitchen. But still met our needs. Note: grocery stores & restaurants are not just around the corner or down the street. Just need to plan accordingly

Home away from home vibes
This is a cute property and has been made to feel like home. 2 bathrooms 3 bedrooms 2 pull out couches-we did not use, a washer and dryer and a fully functioning kitchen,-no dishwasher-unless you count yourself as one. We loved our stay. Our Athens Alabama experience was amazing. This property is right on the shore of the Elk River. On the balcony at night you can hear the coyotes scream and in the early hours of the morning you can hear the turkey's gooble. Very beautiful and very cool. We loved it and will be back.

Beautiful view
We stayed at the property during Veterans Day weekend to celebrate our son’s 2nd birthday. Just us and my sisters. We really enjoyed the view of Elk river from every corner of the property. We had a little problem with a shower, and it was sorted and the property manager responded promptly. Overall it was a beautiful getaway for our family. Thank you

Great getaway on the river
Loved this house on the river so much. It was perfectly clean, comfortable beds, and very easy kitchen to use. We cooked all weekend and had no issues. The view is incredible and the bird watching was amazing. Will definitely stay here again!

Elk River stay
Had a great 'stay on the river. Found local places to eat within 20miles...Cafe 72 and Ro's in Athens. Swimming in the river was nice. Wish we had a boat! Very relaxing place to stay!

We all got sick
This property was in a really nice location and a good set up within the house, but we all became sick with two individuals getting pink eye the day after leaving the location. We had one family member who is allergic to cats who ended up having to leave due to his allergies. So either a cat regularly stays there or the last renters brought a cat and it was not properly cleaned upon them leaving. Overall it was a nice stay but the cleanliness of the property will guarantee we will never book this site again nor recommend it to anyone.
