"The Carriage House accommodations were perfect for our stay for the month of January 2025. The location was convenient to downtown and lovely walks around Lake Hunter. The area was peaceful and quiet lending itself to great relaxation. The unit was very clean, bed was great, and the living space fulfilled our needs. The kitchen was well equipped with new appliances and utensils. We loved staying here and will definitely consider returning again. Michele is great host and could not have been more helpful. Highly recommend!" -Wade and Bib



"I can't say enough positive things about Michele, her home, her communication and so much more. She thinks of everything and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. My standards are extremely high and she definitely exceeded them. Thanks Michele!! Looking forward to staying with you again in April for my daughter's wedding."-Bonni


"Michele’s rental was absolutely perfect. Aside from the clear instructions on how to get in upon arrival, and the dedication to providing nearby food recommendations & information regarding the area the cherry on top was Michele’s kindness and the beauty of her rental.
I had a couple poor experiences prior to my arrival to Michele’s property so I was VERY nervous and felt like I couldn’t pick a good rental. My faith was restored as soon as I stepped inside. The place is beautiful, and SO clean thankfully. Comfortable bedding, nice shower, and the amount of towels she provides is very helpful considering I stayed for about 5 days.
If you’re in the area and looking to find a nice rental that you’ll thoroughly enjoy, look no further. Michele is a great, responsive host that’s always looking to make it a good experience for the people staying at her short term rental." -Zack

On site, free parking. Can accommodate larger vehicles.
Many businesses to explore within walking distance or very short drive.
