Jun 11, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely cottage The cottage had everything that we needed. It’s a very sweet property. Coffee in the morning birds singing the patio and porch it is lovely. I don’t think that the property had been stayed in an a while because all of the furniture outside is pretty dirty, and the shower curtains were moldy on the inside. We called the management company and they immediately came and changed them. Management company was very responsive. I highly recommend this for a small family, great getaway ##### Anne G. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen R. Dec 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very cozy and quiet Loved the house and one of the most comfortable master beds we have ever enjoyed in a rental. If anything, and it's a small thing, the screen porch is not accessible from the house, which would have allowed easy backyard access for the dog without having to go out front and around in bad wrather. We had to walk him out the front door leashed, thru a gate and then let him loose. Not that much trouble but I couldn't tell that from the pictures. Overall probably one of the best put together houses we have enjoyed in that area! ##### Karen R. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Regina B.

Aug 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Upstairs gets a little hot on warm days/nights Great location! Clean and lots of furniture inside and out. Couch could be replaced since it sags and is not real comfortable. The in wall air system works great for downstairs but to keep upstairs cool on warmer nights or days you must really chill downstairs. Overall we had a great time and appreciate the cleanliness. ##### Jeff D. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wiveca H. Jun 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place The house is small and cozy with one bedroom and a large sleeping loft open to the downstairs. There is a bathroom on each level. The house is clearly someones second home and, as such, has everything you need even though it is a little worn and well-loved. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the fenced in yard was much appreciated by our pup. The location is excellent with only a couple of minutes into Highlands. The only negative was a relative shortage of clothes storage. The closets in the downstairs bedroom were partially filled and there were no hangers (we bought some) and there was only one small dresser. The loft area had no clothes storage at all and our kids improvised by placing their clothes in piles on every available surface! It worked but looked quite messy for our two week stay. Overall we would stay again! ##### Wiveca H. Stayed 15 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Missie F.
