The place was great!! Large space inside and out for groups or large families like mine! We had 12 people (some kids but not small) and we all felt accommodated. Lots of things there to use such as games, dishes, movies, toiletries, among other things. Host is very responsive, service is spotty, but AT&T phones did pretty good. We will definitely be booking again!

Beautiful location. Peaceful and plenty of space for extended family. Spotty service but not a game changer. We were busy with wedding activities for my son but would love to come back and enjoy the location more next time.

Everything was well cleaned and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes and even seasonings. Slow WiFi but it helped us enjoy the property and the company more. The view of the stars was immaculate.

Carol’s cottage is spacious, the front and back decks are big and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, dishes, pots and pans, we just needed to bring food. We would recommend this rental to our friends and family!!

Great Place for Family Time

We appreciated having such a lovely, clean space with plenty of beds and baths to accommodate our family gathering of six adult sisters. Although our weekend plans didn't leave time to take advantage of cooking in the well appointed kitchen it would have been a delightful place to prepare a meal. We loved sitting on the back screened-in porch drinking our morning coffee, listening to an array of birds and watching a charm of finches.

If you are looking for an unplugged getaway, this is the house for you! We had problems with the WiFi but that is expected in a rural area like this and was only an issue because was planned a PowerPoint night. Beautiful scenery, great hosts, all around a good time. My friends and I definitely missed the turn in our first visit because it hides in the trees. Just to want you.
