Response from VrboOwner on 16 Sept 2026
Per Michael, this is supposed to be a 10 and not a 2. He said they spoke to Vrbo, and it was a glitch on their end and were going to fix it. That hasn't happened for whatever reason.
We absolutely loved our stay in this cute cottage! It was the perfect size for us and had everything we needed! We loved how quiet it was and the location of it. We were only 5-10mins away from everywhere we went during our stay. We will definitely be staying here again when we come back. Thank you again so much for sharing your cute little cottage with us!

Great experience overall. Excellent place with a lot of thoughtful and modern amenities. Nice air conditioning, great hot tub, and comfortable modern bathroom, kitchen and beds were comfy.
This was a great property to stay in. Sparta is a super cute town with lots of charm. The house was perfect for our girls weekend. It was close enough to Fall Creek Falls for hiking with all the convenience of Sparta. The house was clean. Everything we needed was there. The beds were comfortable with great pillows. The shower was amazing. Hosts were responsive and I would stay there again.
Excellent location, hot tub was awesome after hiking the mountains all day. A very thoughtful VRBO with many nice surprise touches (like a broom staged outside to clean the leaves off of car).
Quiet and peaceful! We saw some lovely deer in the backyard. Loved the guest book as well. Would stay again!

The house was clean, stocked with the essentials and has a beautiful piece of property. Even though it was in a residential area, it felt private and serene. LOVED the soft bed (guest room), the shower (amazing!) and the hot tub! I would definitely stay at this place again!
Beautiful cottage! Saw wildlife in the back yard. Burgess falls nearby. Excellent shower and hot tub. Wish it was closer to the river.We would stay there again! Very restful and relaxing.
