Photos do not do this pace justice. It was spacious and well appointed. The decor, layout, and amenities were great. We had a few hiccups but host was very responsive. We would definitely stay again.

Marvelous!

We had a marvelous stay at Maggie’s Cottage! The house is decorated with lots of blue and white and full of style and comfort. We cooked on the chefs stove and fried fish on the outdoor patio. We had all the comforts of home plus a wine fridge! The view of the sunset on the river from the front porch and living room was fabulous! We will definitely rent here again. It was the perfect getaway for my siblings and their spouses.

Amazing place. When we arrived the place was so well designed on beautiful property under giant oak trees with an awesome view of False River. The design and decor of the home is top class with the best quality of everything!! So many things to say how awesome this place is but have to say the screened front porch was amazing, clean, and great for morning coffee!! We will be back

Amazing!!!

We had such an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage on False River! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spotless, inviting, and thoughtfully put together everything was. The entire cottage was exceptionally clean and beautifully maintained. The styling is incredible! The house has the perfect blend of chic style and cozy comfort. Every detail feels intentional, from the décor to the furnishings and all of the little touches that make a stay feel special. It’s stylish, elegant, and impeccably decorated and at the same time it is so comfortable and truly felt like a home away from home.The amenities were top-notch and everything we could have needed was right at our fingertips. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into making sure guests have a relaxing, comfortable, and memorable experience.Of course, being on False River made the setting even more special. It was such a peaceful and beautiful place to unwind, relax, and enjoy our time away. Sitting on the front porch with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine was the best way to begin and end our days! We genuinely loved everything about our stay and cannot say enough wonderful things about this cottage. It exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would absolutely stay here again. If you’re looking for a beautiful, comfortable, exceptionally clean, and welcoming getaway on False River, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend! The hosts are the absolute best people you could ever know!!!!

We were so impressed with the designer selections at this beautiful cottage! Exceptionally clean and well maintained and very spacious to accommodate our large group. The front porch and upstairs view of False River was so lovely and peaceful. We will definitely be back!
