We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope if your travels bring you this way again, we’ll get to host you for another easy overnight stop!
Thank you for the 10/10 and the kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the property and the location. We try to keep things peaceful, comfortable, and just far enough out in the country to relax — but still close enough to get where you need to go.
We really appreciate you staying with us and would be happy to host you again anytime! 😊

Thank you for the wonderful review and the 10/10! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home and that it worked well for your extended stay. Having guests stay for a whole month is the ultimate compliment — it means the place must have started to feel a little like home.
We truly enjoyed hosting you and appreciate you taking such great care of the house. If you ever need the house again for a staycation, you’ll always have a place here waiting for you! 😊
The house was extremely clean and beautifully decorated! The beds were super comfortable. The coffee/hot chocolate bar was a nice touch! Excellent communication with the host and very helpful! Highly recommend.

We try to make the house feel welcoming and easy so guests can just relax and enjoy their time, and we’re really glad that came through during your visit.
Thanks again for the kind words and for being such great guests. If your travels bring you back this way, the coffee bar will be stocked and the comfy beds will be ready!

Thank you so much for the kind words and the 10/10! We’re really glad you enjoyed the home and all the little touches with the décor and furniture. We try to make the place feel warm and welcoming — like a home away from home, just with a little extra relaxation built in 😄
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re so happy you enjoyed your stay. If your travels bring you back this way, we’d love to have you again! ✨
Home was so beautiful and we wanted for nothing. The coffee/hot-chocolate bar was well stocked as was the cookware, bakeware, dishes, etc. The communication was almost instant with host as well. My new go to for always staying in Dothan! You'll LOVE this home and the location! Surrounding landscape is also gorgeous and peaceful. A real gem.
We had a wonderful stay at this well maintained home. The hosts were welcoming and inviting and they had decorated for the holidays. I highly recommend staying here for your home away from home . We stayed here for 5 nights with our small pup and the property was great for being able to walk him as well on the beautiful property.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and the 10/10! We’re really glad you enjoyed the home, the holiday decorations, and the peaceful property. It makes us happy knowing you were able to relax and feel at home during your stay.
We also love hearing that your pup enjoyed the property too — happy dogs usually mean happy guests! 🐾
It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime your travels bring you this way.
House was clean, very comfortable sofa; has the feel of a farm house nestled among beautiful cotton fields and pastureland. Only stayed one night due to tight schedule but could easily have stayed a week.As we travel, this is the property we would like to find everywhere.If you enjoy country surroundings in a well cared for home, this is your place to stay.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and the 10/10! We’re really glad you enjoyed the peaceful farmhouse feel and the country surroundings. The cotton fields and pastureland definitely like to show off a little around here. I know we put alot of love into planting the grass and cleaning up around here. We like our breath taking sunsets and cool afternoons too. 😄
We especially love hearing that you found the home comfortable — that sofa has been known to convince a few guests to stay longer than planned!
We appreciate you choosing to stay with us, and if your travels bring you back this way, we’d be happy to host you again for a longer visit next time.

What makes this property unique
Our property is unique because it is just far enough away from the hustle of life with a really great view. But close enough if you wanna run grab a bite to eat or have it delivered to you.
