David was very quick to respond to my messages. Cottage was very clean. Nice shower. Love the look of the cottage. The only thing I suggest is a couple of rocking chairs or adirondacks on the front porch. Would definitely stay again. Location was quiet and peaceful.

What a charming and peaceful place to stay! We attended my daughter’s college graduation and found this cute cottage that was so reasonably priced. The hosts communicated so well and the check in process was so easy! The personal touches and the decor made it feel like home. After a long day at graduation we were able to come back, sit on the porch and relax in the quiet. We will definitely be coming back to the cottage! If you are looking for somewhere quiet that is very close to GCSU, go check out this cottage. You won’t be disappointed

I already am looking for another weekend to come back and enjoy this cottage. The Fish Cottage and hosts David and Autumn are 5 stars!! I felt like I was in an episode of Little house on the Prairie. So clean, perfectly stocked with Everything and more ! The rainfall shower was exquisite. The decor and rustic charm is beyond what any of the pictures portrayed. Thank you for opening your cottage to my son and I. We will be back !!
