This property was clean and exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway. We loved that they allowed pets so we could bring our dog with us. We hope to come back again and possibly bring our pre-teen with us next time as she would love seeing the planes land and take off.

The cottage was clean and welcoming. The Host thought about everything we might need and it was well stocked. It was definitely pet friendly, with a dog bed and food dishes. We would request a stay there again if we are in the area.

We had a great stay at this tiny retreat. The space was very clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. The location is peaceful and the mountain setting makes it a really relaxing place to unwind.The host was easy to communicate with and everything about check-in and the stay was smooth. I stayed with my dad and our dog, and it worked out perfectly for us. We would definitely stay here again the next time we’re in the area.

Katie and David are such amazing hostesses. Pet friendly, kitchen is stocked if you want to cook and stay in. Downtown is right down the road, a lot of cute shops and places to grab a bite to eat. This was just how I wanted to celebrate my 40th! We can’t wait to come back!

What a lovely place to stay. The house was so comfortable and clean. We had a beautiful view of the mountain range without all of the steep hills to get to the house. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

The perfect getaway

My husband and I stayed in this tiny retreat while taking a break from hiking the AT. I cannot say enough great things about this little gem of a home! Katie and David have done an amazing job making this home feel cozy. Everything from a great selection of coffee/teas, stocked kitchen cabinets with utensils and cookware, to numerous games and books to read. We thoroughly enjoyed our week away in the mountains and would highly recommend the property to anyone looking to get away from the hustle of life. I will be miss that balcony and view greatly!

We were traveling in the area to spend a few days shopping for home. This place was great. Nice and quiet. Plenty of space for the two of us to get our own quiet time when needed. The whole things seems pretty new. Very clean. Very quiet. Owners are close if you do something silly like lock yourself out. :) Highly recommend.

Will definitely be back!

If I could give the tiny retreat 10 stars, I would! We LOVED this great find. The location is perfect. It is close enough to town for easy access but still felt quiet and peaceful. There is so much incredible exploring to be had in the outdoors surrounding, and this was the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. The cabin was impeccably clean, and we were very impressed with how high quality everything was. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. The little kitchen was well stocked. We loved the upper deck for star gazing. We will most definitely be back. My only note is this: Katie did a great job with directions to the cabin, and she was sure to explain the lack of signal and suggested screenshots for directions. I really appreciated that and did just as she suggested. I did not think to screenshot the Wi-Fi password, though. I wish that had been available somewhere in the cabin, but we were able to go back and get it easy enough. I would just remembering to screenshot that while you are preparing for arrival. Katie was a great host, and I cannot recommend their place more!
