Melanie was more than accommodating to us for our stay, allowing us not only early check in but also allowing us to add a day at the end of our original reservation. The cottage is very clean, and has so many “extras” that made our stay so comfortable, welcoming and easy! She includes so many items that, while not strictly necessary, are so thoughtful and made our stay much more home-like. If I’m ever back in the area I’ll absolutely stay here again.

It was a nice place, had everything you would need, inside appearance was clean and no bugs inside.My only complaints was that a few of the sheets smelled like dog, (but that’s coming from us who don’t have inside animals) and the grass was not cut.

Perfect location

My husband and I needed a place close to a wedding reception. This was perfect as it was just less than 10 minutes away. We brought our pups with us and the yard was perfect for them to be able to play in. House was more than we needed but we would for sure stay again if we ever came back to the area. The host is also so nice and helped with all my questions!

Lake Hartwelll cottage stay

My friends and I just needed a getaway and some relaxation. We got the reservation and hoped it would be quiet and close to the water. It was close enough to the water but it was super quiet and relaxing. We cooked out and jumped in the lake . We got exactly what we were looking for. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay. This house is in a quiet neighborhood and has a nice back yard. The kitchen is well equipped with utensils needed for cooking. The master bedroom is roomy and the bed (mattress) provided a good night sleep. The two bathrooms are definately a plus We will definitely request to book again.
