Very comfortable place to stay. Quick access to the mountains for some of the most beautiful roads to ride motorcycles. We enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch after a long day of riding.
We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was perfect for our needs. The dogs really enjoyed the back yard and the dog beds. Next time we need to stay in Tennessee we will definitely stay here.
It was very comfy and just unique and homey. The fenced yard was a plus since we had a dog. The bed was comfy. I would stay there again should I be in the area.
Our family was visiting for a wedding and really enjoyed the cottage. Home was super comfortable, well-appointed, and larger than we expected. Owner was very communicative, friendly, and accommodating!
Loved the porch’s beds were very come .the kitchen is well appointed and easy to move around.The only thing I would suggest is to install grab bars in the shower.Wonderful comfortable
We had a great time...House was very clean and had everything we needed..Our furbabies enjoyed the fenced in yard. We will be planning another stay here..
My mom and I rented this cottage for a church retreat. It was perfect for the two of us. The home was very clean and in a peaceful neighborhood! We felt very safe. We will stay again, if we are in this location in the future.
To preface this: there was an issue with my check-in. The host was very accommodating and very kind during this issue. She went above and beyond what I expected. The house itself was lovely and I would be happy to stay there again! It makes visiting family so easy as I have a dog that is a little complicated to say the least.
The cottage was very comfortable beds were excellent. Very clean with a well stocked kitchen. The fenced in yard was great for our little ones. Front porch with swing and rocking chairs, perfect relaxing little hideaway!
A wonderful well appointed home. It was perfect for us.
Loved having fenced in yard for our pets. It made our visit worry free. Couldn’t have asked for a better place. Thanks so much for all of your consideration in the comfort of your guests.
We were in town a couple days and found this option for our family to be just what we needed. We especially appreciated that it was pet friendly as we had our two dogs with us. The fenced yard was especially appreciated to allow our pups some room to run and play. The kitchen was well stocked with all the things needed to prepare meals. It was nice to have two bathrooms as well. The front porch having a gate to help keep our dogs in was also great to have.
The cottage was beautiful. Proximity to family was around a quarter mile away. Very clean and accessible. The driveway was a bit narrow for parking for a full size truck. Found a bunch of deck screws and nails on the back deck and driveway. Thankfully I had my shoes on ended up with a nail in the in my shoe. Overall a very pleasant experience and would definitely vacation there again next year
Perfect place to stay for out of town visitors. Tidy, well appointed, comfortable. Wifi was great, even for bandwidth hogging remote work. Great water pressure and quality in tub and showers. RO filtered water for drinking. Pet friendly and Clean. Great backyard and thoughtfully curated area guide. We were in town for a very tough week, and I could not have asked for a nicer space to come back to in the evening. I look forward to returning soon for a vacation!
I appreciate the owner allowing pets. This is my primary search filter when looking for a property. With a fenced backyard, a deck and patio that were constructed to contain a pet, I couldn't be more pleased. It's clear the 1902 property has undergone some renovations, like a new HVAC system and second bathroom. That said, there is a faint smell in the house that I attributed to the home's age. I'm sure the owner has plans for additional projects, so do expect some 'older' features, but completely usable. The location was perfect for me as I have family in Etowah. I will say this property is head and shoulders above any hotel you may find in the area. Overall, I would stay in this property again when returning to visit family.
A great little get away home. The house is comfortable and quaint. Two king beds (very comfortable mattress) for the adults and 2 fold up cots for the kids. Master bath has a old style clawfoot tub that it usable, as well as the shower. Water pressure is good and strong! Kitchen was very clean. K cups are furnished if needed, we used some of theres and some of ours. Washer and dryer available if needed. Pet friendly, with a fenced in backyard. We will be back!
