Host Kimberly was truly the best I have ever had! The cottage was absolutely the most welcoming, high quality, quiet, everything you could ever think of provided -- place I have stayed in a very long time! The backyard is gorgeous, and the coffee bar and homemade muffins were just the icing on the cake. Highly recommend!
The connection cottage was just that, a quiet lovely place to unwind after a long car trip and relaxing after fun days with toddler great grand babies! Exceptional accommodations!
Love this stay! Hosts thought of everything and had awesome little touches. My daughter loved the games and fruit. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you

It was so wonderful to host your sweet family! Thank you for choosing the Connection Cottage as your stay! It was our pleasure to have you and your family is welcome anytime!
This place is a gem and the hosts couldn’t be lovelier. Every detail has been thought of in advance to make guests’ stay pleasant, relaxing and comfortable. Lots of extra touches throughout - like home baked items and thoughtful holiday decor. We really enjoyed our week and can recommend this beautiful, lower level space. Lots to love. Thank you!
Well appointed and thought out spaces. Lots of room in living, bith and bedroom. Ammenities were excellent. Would have loved to use fire pit, but it was a bit too cool
The hotel I usually stay in for business was sold out due to a wedding. The owner of the hotel suggested VRBO. Finding this home was truly a Godsend. The host rake care of the finest details that made me feel special. Home baked muffins, a personalized letter and sign with my name. Truly a blessing.
Don't pass up this listing if you need to stay in or around the Morristown, TN area. The property and amenities were beyond our expectations. It does not feel like you are staying in a basement. Everything was clean, plenty of windows, large rooms, and so many special little things to make you feel welcome. The hosts are friendly and were very responsive to questions prior to our arrival and during our stay.
I was hesitant at first that this would not feel like a private experience but it absolutely was!! The hosts were very easy to message with and provided every need possible for our stay. We walked in from a cold night with the fire place going, jazz music on and candle lights lining the hot tub, with welcome signs personalized to us! Every thought and detail went into this place to make it a true connection cottage. The sheets on the bed were so soft and the bed extremely comfortable. Will absolutely stay again. 10/10 recommend!
My wife and I had to take my elderly mother to Morristown for a funeral. I’m so glad that we stumbled across this amazing place! Everything was thought of in perfect detail, the location couldn’t have been more beautiful and the interior was simply stunning! Our host was accommodating to our every need. I’ve been coming to Morristown for nearly 50 years to visit our family. Why couldn’t I have found this place sooner?!

Thank you for such a lovely review! We are sorry for your reason for the visit but are so glad we got the opportunity to host your sweet family! Best Regards! ❤️
What a wonderful place to stay. A gorgeous home on a rolling hill overlooking Morristown. We came to visit family & staying here was a complete gift, not just a place to lay our heads. The pictures don’t really give you the feel for how large the space is but it’s also so warm & cozy. Kimberley & Josh have thought of everything & more to make you feel at home. The decor is stunning. The bed is luxurious. The kitchenette is stocked for coffee & tea with some special treats. It’s more than you can dream up - games, a huge TV, fireplace, multiple seating areas. The best vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at!
This property is exactly as it is described and shared in photos. The only thing that is not portrayed in the listing is the peace an calm that you feel walking into the property with soft lighting, soft music playing, the water feature gently bubbling. Freshly baked treats, fresh flowers and a lighted sign with our name welcoming us to the home is such a nice touch. We were first time VRBO renters and I'm sure this experience will be extremely hard to top. There really isn't anything I can add to all of the previous reviews left about this property and hosts. Warm, inviting, personal touches, accommodating, and generous. We highly recommend booking this property and enjoyed our stay immensely.
Just wow! You will not find another rental like this one. The immaculate design and beauty of the home is only surpassed by the host's genuine thoughtfulness in every detail. From the extra bathroom amenities/products to the coffee bar to the stocked water and treats to the welcome sign and music and so so much more. My family truly felt pampered. The air hockey table and arcade game were my six year old's favorite! I loved the hot tub (very clean) and electric fireplace, indoor fountain, and the comfy slippers. The fridge is mini, but works very well. You can occasionally hear footsteps from upstairs since the rental is connected, but it still felt like a totally private space. Backyard was private as well. The gift shop was adorable and ingenious! Wished we lived closer so we could come back!

About the host
Hosted by Joshua and Kimberly
The Lord moved us here from Idaho and we absolutely love it and can't imagine being anywhere else. We love hanging out as a family enjoying games, walks around the neighborhood and exploring all the things our area has to offer! We are so blessed to be here and blessed to have you!
Why they chose this property
We absolutely love our quiet neighborhood in the hills of Morristown. The seasonal view of the mountains is one of my favorite things about our home. We also enjoy walking around the neighborhood and enjoy the 180 degree views of the smokies and lake at the top.
What makes this property unique
Our property provides amenities above and beyond what anyone else offers to help promote connection with one another...hence why we gave our place the title of the "Connection Cottage". Connect in conversation at the fireplace, cuddling on the couch reading a book from the library, enjoying a complimentary home baked goodie or gourmet coffee around the table, playing one of the many games provided in the game room, compete on the custom arcade machine or air hockey table, enjoy a movie with complimentary popcorn, lounge around the firepit on the patio or take a dip in the pool open seasonally. It is our absolute pleasure and goal to help you feel rested, connected and pampered. We also offer little "extras" to help make your experience here that much more amazing with birthday and romantic packages.
