The cabin was MORE than I expected. The owners were available to answer my questions. The “ extras” provided were totally unexpected and appreciated. I would without hesitation rebook this cabin if in the area again.

We couldn't have been happier with this rental! The property was exactly as described and was a very homey alternative while in town for a wedding. The amenities were thoughtfully considered, which is always an added bonus! The coffee and tea bar, the snacks, and the disposable makeup wipes are just a few of the thoughtful considerations provided by the owners. The property is beautiful and well maintained. We were thrilled with this find, and would be glad to stay again when we are in the area!

Weekday Getaway

My husband and I along with our newborn recently stayed at chads place. We stayed for two nights and had an amaziing time spending a few days away from home. The cottage had everything you would need and more. Perfect location to downtown Bedford and Shawnee state park. My husband and I loved fishing right on the property and relaxing at the campfire at night! We can’t wait to plan our next trip and be able to utilize the bikes and kayaks! Chads cottage has everything you need. We literally could have packed a few pairs of clothes and that’s all we would have needed to bring with us. They provided the rest! The attention to detail and communication was above and beyond what we expected! I would give this 6 stars if I could! We look forward to returning this fall with the whole family!

This place was adorable. There was plenty of heat/air/ceiling fans to keep the home comfortable. There were things that we thought added a nice touch such as bottled water and some treats. There was a binder of restaurants that was very helpful as we ended up going to one and thoroughly enjoyed it. We utilized the fire pit and it was so nice and cozy. Everything was clean and neat and quaint. Check-in instructions were clear. The enclosed porch was also nice for someone who isn’t a fan of bugs but still likes to see the outdoors. The location was great. It was secluded but so close to everything we went to. I would highly recommend this location especially for the Fall Festival. I only have 1 photo of the stay but it is a good one.
