Very nice clean house Wife and I live in a very rural area and we’re not used to the hiway noise from 49 Otherwise the location is fine Thanks for having us
We were able to book this property with short notice and the owners were very accommodating! The home was cute, clean and just as described! The driveway is very steep, just keep that in mind. We would absolutely stay at this property again.

Very nice home, clean and comfortable. Property is just how it looks on-line. Having a garage to put our vehicle in was nice. The owners were very responsive to our questions.

So glad that you enjoyed our home and found it clean and comfortable. It was a pleasure hosting you!
Original ad location is very misleading it’s not a 4 min drive to Colar it’s 17 min. When your plan is to ride to Colar for a bike trip it kinda kills your plans. But the biggest issue is you can’t sleep because the house backs up to an interstate. It was so bad we stayed night of our 3 night stay and left.

I'm not sure where you saw a 4 min drive to Coler Creek being advertised anywhere on our listing. I feel it's a bit unfair to judge us based on that when it's not something we claim anywhere in our listing. We're literally named The Cottage Down Under because we're bike in/out to The Down Under Loop. That would make it impossible to be 4 min to Coler. It appears you misread our listing and then blasted us for your own mistake. The "road noise" you speak of is exaggerated sadly but not completely false. We're not trying to hide anything there but we're talking that we're at least 100 yards off the interstate and have trees between us and the highway so the noise is minimal and nothing that keeps you up at night. As you can see from all of our other reviews, we have very happy guests who have had a great experience! We look forward to hosting other guests in the future!
Home was very nice. The driveway is very steep making it hard to get elderly parent out of car.

Thank you for staying with us and for the kind words about the home! We completely understand how the steep driveway can make things difficult when traveling with an elderly parent, and we appreciate you pointing it out so future guests can plan ahead. It was a pleasure hosting you.
