Comfortable Homey Stay
In the area for a funeral. The cottage gave us lots of room to be together and relax. The beds were comfortable with extra pillows, and plenty of plush bath towels. Kitchen was well-stocked. The unit had some cleanliness issues (dog hair, cobwebs, hair in shower), but otherwise was a perfect stay. Monica is a thoughtful host-even turning the AC on before our arrival as it was very hot that day. It would be a great option for a larger family coming to enjoy the recreation and beauty in the area. We would definitely stay here again!

Loft is rustic, and located behind main house. Could use a thorough cleaning, but definitely has a family feel, serving it’s purpose. Communication was timely and helpful. Thanks for letting us stay!

We love staying at the cottage. It’s plenty of room for our family of 4 plus our dog. We enjoy the kitchen and the accommodations. Walking distance to town is a plus as well. We will be back next year.

Some good, some not so good
The pluses are the host, Monica is very nice and responsive, the kitchen is well stocked and lots of games, magazines and videos (although I didn't see a video player). The bed was comfortable and it is spacious. The not so good is there were lots of cob webs, the kitchen hadn't been swept, there was built up dust on the ceiling fans and top of the cabinets above where I was sleeping (the only reason I knew that was because I got up to take down a cob web)and the windows could use a good cleaning.

Loved the street the property was on. Walked to most dining locations. Full kitchen with all pots, pans and utensils. Monica was very communicative and well organized, she had a book of things to do, places to eat. Unfortunately the place was dirty. The toilet was never cleaned, the shower was dirty. Opened the bed to lay in it and there was black dog hair inside the sheets. Found mouse droppings on the main bed comforter. The pull out bed had stains on the mattress. Ceiling fans had dust, stains in the rug from pets. There’s so much potential here if someone would just take a moment to clean.

Spacious and loved the kitchen
Much larger than expected with a great kitchen. Lots of cupboards and drawers in both rooms, mostly already full of things like games, dvds, linens, kitchen supplies so it was a little difficult to find places to hang things up without pulling out bedding stacked in the cupboard or figure out which drawers to use. There were a few empty drawers but you had to hunt for them. One way to make sure you see what is available for your use! It's very homey, well supplied kitchen including some food, take what you need, leave what you don't. A little hard to find where the apartment was actually located, especially since we arrived late at night, due to a fire on the way blocking traffic. We would certainly stay there again, when available.

Absolutely beautiful. Perfect place to stay
As soon as I walked in to the cottage I was soo happy. Monica was very accommodating and very sweet. I love the setup of the cottage and everything about it. All you need to bring is your clothing, they literally had anything and everything else you might need, even down to the seasonings. I can't wait to stay here again as soon as possible. THANK YOU MONICA AND ROB 😊
