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!

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.
