About this property

Peace and privacy abound. Sit and watch the wildlife

Appointed as well as a 5 star hotel. This home sits way off the road in the middle of mature hardwoods. Looks like a park! 2 car attached garage. Set up for short term executive stay, Honeymoons or Romantic Holidays. 2 Kings size beds if 2 couples would like to leave the kids at home and have an adult vacation or long weekend. You can't see another house from the screened in back porch from which you can hear a creek happily babbling by except for in extreme dry weather. Fully furnished Kitchen. Beds are down duvets and pillows. A sofa and two recliners in living room. Was set up with the need to sanitize everything between guests in mind. Smoking is not allowed inside but accommodations are made on the front and back porches. A desk and High speed WiFi connection are provided. This is next door to our home which has a pond with an island in the middle that has been the backdrop for many photo sessions that guests are welcome to visit.

This was our third stay here. We find more to enjoy each time. We cooked a large family meal this time and found the kitchen very well appointed. The roll away cot was very comfortable. We were able to catch a beautiful sunset also. The property is so peaceful. We plan on renting any time we're in the area.

Beautiful Property

The home is lovely and very well appointed. Comfy beds, great linens. The property is beautiful. We had so much fun watching the rabbits, cows (next door), tadpoles and tiny frogs in the stream. I can't think of anything lacking in our stay. We hope to be back the next time we come to Batesville.

Best value I’ve ever gotten from a VRBO. Clean and stocked well with kitchen and bath accessories Had everything we needed. Plenty of space, secluded by by trees and nature but extremely conveniently close to shopping and restaurants. Owner is thoughtful and kind and was helpful with navigating restaurants.

We had a great stay at Lottie’s property. It was a very peaceful property and immaculately clean. It’s an older house which I found quite charming but one of the bathroom doors didn’t shut (would get stuck.) Not a huge deal for us and I’m sure could probably be easily fixed. I’d definitely recommend

Disliked: Check-in
We stayed here four years ago. It is still the cute country spot, charming and complete. The only problem was at the time of check-in. The property host sent us a message the day of check-in that I was not able to open. So, we experienced some heart burn before we got it figured out.But it's a great place and we'll be back..

Nothing was forgotten in getting this home ready to rent. Plenty of space, clean washer and dryer, great beds and linens, plenty of towels and supplies and stuff in the kitchen cabinets. Double attached garage with openers as well This stands out as one of the nicest that we've rented.

Peace & Tranquility

I needed a safe place for my elderly parents (90 & 83) to stay during a family funeral. This home was perfect! The doorways were wide and all flat services and a walk in shower. My mother raved about how well they both slept, as I did too! The robes were a bonus! Especially for the cold mornings. I slept in the front bedroom and heard absolutely no road noise. The house sits so far back off the main road you really don’t hear anything. I especially enjoyed the deep soaking tub after the long days. I will definitely book again when we come back.

About the host

Hosted by Lottie Bond

Host profile image
My husband and I have traveled a lot for business and grew weary of Hotels. We bought this property because it was contiguous to our retirement house. We bought both properties because together they make a beautiful park like setting. Tenants are welcome to visit our side with a pond and Bridges that cross over to an island in the middle. Most locals know it as the duck pond property. Many pictures have been shot on these two properties. Photographers love to use it for a backdrop. It is our wish to share this with travelers who would prefer to be in a beautiful home rather than a hotel.

Why they chose this property

It is very private but also only a few miles from Batesville. Grocery store and dollar store very nearby. Bedrooms are furnished with beds and bedding comparable to a 5 star hotel with down pillows and down duvets and high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Kitchen is fully furnished with all you could need. It has a washer and dryer for your use. If you are staying longer than a week and would like linen service it can be done for a additional fee of $75 per cleaning.

What makes this property unique

Has both a front porch with rockers and a big back screened porch from which you can not see another sign of civilization. An oversize garage allows you to put your car away and no one would have any idea you are there. It sits way off the road. Most windows are in back and look out at nature.
