Great weekend getaway

We really enjoyed this family friendly cottage. It was just the size and style we were looking for. Very quite area with a nice view of the river from the back deck.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin was exactly as described. We enjoyed the quiet retreat and sitting outside listening to the river and birds. Furniture and beds were very comfy. It was perfect for us!

Nice cabin

A nice "real" cabin. Stocked appropriately with everything and we really enjoyed our stay. One suggestion is to completely extinguish the pilot light on the heater in the large room in the summertime to keep that room cooler.

Cozy and Convenient Cottage

What is not to love about this adorable historic stone cottage! Cute and immaculate—probably the cleanest pet-friendly rental we’ve ever seen. This sweet cottage is situated in a small lake community who share a private lane. Neighbors on both sides were super-friendly and helpful. They even remembered our dog’s name and offered usage of their kayaks! Once inside, the cottage was quiet and comfortable. Its central location made day trips easy too. There is so much to do within a 50-mile radius of this community. Thank you for a great weekend!

Our Cozy Stone Cottage Stay

Where to begin ~ We really enjoyed our time spent in this lovely cottage. The hosts were a pleasure to communicate with and we enjoyed meeting the caretaker. She is just lovely. The cottage was so sparkling clean. We had plenty of room to spread out, both indoors and outside. Loved the kitchen table with the chalkboard paint top, it encouraged many domino marathons and lots of silly doodling! The water pressure is great in the roomy shower. Beds and linens were lovely. There was a bevy of reading material, along with lots of games in house. I do have to mention just how quiet all the ceiling fans are, not a sound! Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise at Lake James! P.S. you have the best wifi password! …and yes every night!

Great location but not very clean

Location is great but didn't expect the cabin to be so run down and unclean. If you have asthma or allergies please be warned that this property has a mold/mildew problem. I get that the cabin is old but it is definitely not maintained. I personally had to clean layers of dust off the ceiling fan in the kitchen, scrub the shower curtain liner and the tea kettle had layers of brown gunk built up at the bottom and was unusable. The bottom of the oven was also dirty and looked like it has never been cleaned. Both sofas suck you in like a sand trap and all cushions worn out to the point where you can feel the springs of the sofa while you sit. Outside patio umbrella was broken and wouldn't open, kitchen sink faucet was broken and sprayed out water and leaked at the base. Bathroom drawers we unusable as they were filled with little various bottles of expired personal care items that I am assuming were left behind by previous guests including a used razor with someone's hair still in it. Front door needs to replaced in general and had to position it just right for the deadbolt to actually work. Overall very disappointed but glad we could at least enjoy what the location offered.

Sarah, Thank you for your feedback. I wish you had reached out during your stay so we could have had our cleaner go back and address some of these issues. You should never have to clean anything yourself! We will definitely pay more attention to these things in the future. As you noted, it is an older cabin and sometimes the front door squeaks. I am sorry you did not like the couches. Many people loved them and ask where we got them. Unfortunately, they were both destroyed in the recent hurricane. Thank you again for your feedback.
