The property was very clean and easy to find. I loved the quiet setting and enjoyed the bunny rabbits and birds. The flowers were also beautiful. The location was very convenient, not far from family.

We loved this cabin! It had so much to do for the kids. We had kids ranging from ages 1-15 and they all loved it and had plenty to do. It was clean and homey and had a good vibe.

Quiet country home

Lovely home! Very clean, thoughtfully decorated with privacy yet still close enough to town happenings. Very much enjoyed our stay. :)

It felt like home!

I absolutely loved staying in this house. It really felt like home away from home. The house is adorable and beautifully decorated. The back yard is gorgeous and serene. I wish I had more time to stay there, I really didn’t want to leave at all. This is a place I would highly recommend to friends and family coming up the area.

Lovely The Little Gem is as charming and well maintained as shown and exceeded our expectations as far as thoughtful touches and extras, like the dog bowls, toys and even blankets for our spoiled rotten fur baby. The house was clean and cozy, and the king bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals, and we especially enjoyed the Blackstone grill. The house is very dog friendly, and the fenced-in spacious yard was perfect for play time. We loved morning coffee in the screened in porch. We highly recommend The Little Gem and will definitely be back.
