Low-key Bachelorette Weekend

A group of friends and I stayed at Tacketts Cottage for a bachelorette weekend. The house was the perfect place to all be together and socialize but also offered space for privacy and recharge time. Wonderful location next to Pirates Cove and near the State Park/lake. Definitely recommend and looking forward to visiting again soon!

The house was perfect! I live local and needed a place for my bridesmaids from out of town to stay, and we ended up using it for everyone to get ready in too! The whole group fit with plenty of space to hang out in and have fun the morning of my wedding!

Amazing Stay!!

Very happy with our stay at the cottage! It was clean, decorated nicely, had all kitchen items you would need, and overall had a welcoming vibe. Ellen was the perfect host. She communicated with us quickly on any questions we had and checked in to make sure everything was going good. The ice cream shop next door was a huge bonus for the kids! Highly recommend. We will stay here again.

This was perfect for us. My daughter got married and this was within a 30 second drive of the venue. The layout provided opportunity for the bridesmaids to have their own privacy and an opportunity gather together. It was the get ready space before the wedding and it was perfect. The Tackett's Cottage decor was relaxing. The host was easy to reach and proactive with communication. I highly recommend.

Perfect Spot

This is an absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean place to stay. Everything you need is included and there are many small decorative touches to enjoy. Ellen left a very sweet welcome note and a bear key chain that was made next door (this was perfect, as I had just had 3 bears on my deck at home lol). And the location was perfect to visit family and friends and spend time at the lake. Not to mention ice cream right next door. I would definitely stay here again!
