We enjoyed our visit at Olivia's rental. The Instructions made it so easy to get there and to find and operate everything we needed. We loved the large/ roomy bathroom, comfortable beds, and the fenced yard for our little pekingese. We felt right at home!

Olivia was a great host and very responsive to anything we needed. We really appreciated having starter items for the cottage (dish soap and paper products), since we only stayed for a few days. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again! The location was perfect and so close to everything.

Cozy JC Retreat

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Olivia’s place. Very clean and comfortable surroundings and close to grocery stores and other necessities. Sitting on the front porch in the morning with our coffee watching the sun rise was very peaceful. Would definitely stay again!

We loved this cottage. Came for my brothers services at the National Cemetery right down the street. It is close to everything you would need and very clean. Communication with host is excellent and very prompt, with very precise instructions for staying at the cottage. Would definitely stay again!

Great family weekend landing spot

Booked this cute cottage for our first parent weekend at ETSU. Minutes from campus made this so convenient. This place could not have been cuter. Simple, super clean and worked great for our family.

Very clean charming house!

Very easy check-in process! The house was spotless and very comfortable (my husband really appreciated the black out curtains ;) Olivia was very fast in responding to questions - beds were comfortable and house was well-stocked. Our only issue (through no fault of the home owner) was there were neighboring dogs on almost all sides of the fenced in area outside that barked at our 2 dogs, which is normal dog behavior, however I tried to find times the other dogs weren’t out to take my dogs out. Again, not something the home owner can control, just a heads up for other renters with shy dogs. Still a 5-star experience!

Great communication and entire process was a breeze. The home had everything we needed. It was very clean, which is most important to us. Good location near everything in Johnson City, especially ETSU. It was a short stay, but looking forward to coming back and will definitely stay again!
