It was clean, peaceful, comfortable, close to the river and close to Steeleville. Great attention was paid to all the details to provide everything guests might need during their stay. The bed was really comfortable which is always important to us, the bedding was great, the towels were thick and fluffy, and all the decor was so tasteful. The rooms are spacious and the only negative for us was that there was only one bathroom. We thought about inviting friends to join us but were hesitant because of the one bathroom. My husband and I would definitely stay here again! ##### Sue S. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ReaLee S.

The place is clean and cute and has everything you could need. Anything we seemed to forget was already there which was nice. The owners of the house were great they always answered any message I sent within 20 minutes or less. Our last night there we even hung out with one of the owners and he is a very fun guy who restocked us with firewood and played some great music and joined us for games to celebrate my birthday. All and all we will definitely be coming back and this was the best place we have ever stayed at! ##### ReaLee S. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teri I.

Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stormy Weekend Stay We stayed at Viola's Cottage for our annual rally race trip. Upon arrival, we discovered there was no power. Just as we were about to reach out to the host, Peggy and Jon arrived to let us know that power was out in the area due to high winds. They had provided us with lanterns and flashlights to get us through until the power was restored. They also gave us access to the basement of the house as severe weather was expected. No power also meant a limited supply of water from the well, so we opted to eat dinner at a restaurant in Steelville. We made it back to the house just as a severe storm hit the area. We took refuge in the basement during a brief tornado warning. Once things calmed down, we all went to bed. We woke up to a chilly house still without power, so we headed to Salem for day two of the race. We got notice from our host at about 11:00 AM that the power had been restored. We still had a full day of activities but were extremely happy to hear we would be able take showers once we got back. We didn't get much of a chance to enjoy the amenities of the house due to the storms. However, I will say the the beds were comfortable, and there was an ample supply of towels, washcloths, and hangers which is not always the case with a rental home. The house was clean, nicely decorated, and well stocked. Peggy and Jon were gracious host and went above and beyond to help us ride out the storms. Hopefully, we will have a chance to stay again under better circumstances. ##### Melissa K.

Adorable, clean, and comfortable place with wildlife right there. The host has really gone above and beyond to make your stay seem as if you are staying at grandma's cottage or home away from home with the extras provided. It was also very clean and comfortable. Great place for a family or weekend getaway and have all of the comforts from home. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan G.

It has everything you could want at your fingertips. We were just a short drive to the Wildwood Lodge for dinner and live music. The town, the hosts, everyone was so friendly. We hope to go back and stay longer ##### Susan G. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ginger B.

Conveniently located next to a beach with shallow water for kids to play in and literally a two minute drive to town. What sets this property apart is the fact that you won’t be spending hundreds of extra dollars on impulse buys when you go out to buy the little items here and there that you forgot. If you are on a budget, bring your own food and drink to cook, the host provides everything else. Down to the little things like a match or plastic bag. We will definitely be coming back next year! ##### Erin G.
