Quiet, Cozy, Clean

We had a great experience. The place was clean and very cozy (felt like home). The property was beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. There were lots of board games and puzzles which kept us entertained. The kitchen had all the necessities. Check-in and out were very easy. Communications with the owner were very professional, prompt, friendly, and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

Great GA weekend!

We stayed here for our annual UGA football game…and what a game it was! This cottage was perfect for the 2 of us…lovely wooded setting. Jeanine and Charles were the perfect hosts. Toilet acted up and probably needs internal parts replaced, but Charles came over immediately to help. Would stay again!!
