Very nice little cottage. Fit me and my two friends well enough but would be very comfortable for two people or a couple plus one other person. We loved hiking around the property. Beautiful hiking trails and pretty extensive too. Had a blast exploring them. The host was friendly and welcoming but gave us plenty of privacy. Will definitely come back someday.

Tiny but decent. Quiet. But bring any dining and eating necessities as it's limited that way. Old air fryer and coffee pot there. Liked the outdoor spaces to wander for sure. Hot water jiffy as it's an on demand heater so that can change quickly too.

The floor was damp throughout the weekend and felt sticky at times, so we had to keep our shoes on. It was a bit of an adjustment to the compost toilet but overall it was a pretty nice property with some getting used to.

Took my first solo trip with just my dog and I to do some hiking/exploring. This was the perfect little getaway spot for us. It was very cozy and we loved exploring the property! We even hit up strouds run park and the beach which was only a 7 minute drive from the property! We definitely will be visiting again soon

So this place when walked in was only half cleaned. Dog hairs all over the couch and bed. The floor was consistently sticky and we no matter how many times cleaned it up. All sorts of bugs throughout the stay inside(roaches, wasps, potato bugs), the shower doesn't drain so that was unnerving not knowing how much of that water has been in there still from previous guests. Also the bathroom is basically a porta pot you go into a bucket type deal so that was pretty gross as well. Rent at your own risk!!

Response from VrboOwner on 31 May 2026
This was a very difficult guest experience. From the beginning, the guest appeared focused on finding issues with the property and seeking compensation. During the stay, the kitchen sinks were intentionally plugged and filled with water, creating the impression that they were not draining properly. After removing the stoppers, both sinks drained normally. The shower drain was also functioning properly and is cleaned thoroughly between every guest stay. The composting toilet is emptied and serviced before each reservation; however, it was not used according to the provided instructions and was left in an unsanitary condition after the guest's son urinated on and around it. Additionally, despite the checkout time, the guest remained on the property until approximately 1:00 PM. Overall, this was one of the most challenging hosting experiences I have had and I would not host this guest again.

Great place!

We stayed here while visiting our daughter at OU and were so pleased with the setting and the space. We’d definitely stay again! My only reason for 4 stars on check in was because of a mixup with another guest on the property, but we worked it out and all ended up great.

Quiet retreat

We were attending a bluegrass festival nearby and the cottage served our needs perfectly. The location was near Athens, yet very remote and only 15 minutes from Poston Lake music venue.

Quiet and beautiful

The cabin was very cute and has a beautiful setting. Close to Athens but far enough away to get away from it all. We especially loved the very friendly free range chickens.
