Absolutely one of the best VRBO experiences we have ever had. Jo Shannon and her husband were incredible hosts from the very beginning. The cottage is located on their beautiful property, and they made us feel completely welcome while still giving us plenty of privacy. Communication was excellent before and throughout our stay. Jo checked in with us ahead of our arrival, made sure we had everything we needed, and was always available if we had a question. They were both so kind, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming.The cottage itself was absolutely spotless, easily one of the cleanest and nicest places we have ever stayed. Everything was beautifully maintained, comfortable, and very well thought out. The location was also fantastic and made it easy to enjoy everything in the area. Jo went above and beyond with the little touches as well. The refrigerator was stocked with beverages, coffee was ready for us, and there were thoughtful extras throughout the cottage that made it feel more like staying with friends than simply renting a property.This is truly a top-notch property with top-notch hosts. We could not have asked for a better experience and would stay here again without hesitation. If you are considering this cottage, book it, you will not be disappointed. Five stars simply are not enough!

We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage and hope to return on our next trip. It’s perfection! Spic-and-span clean, elegant, and ideally located in a beautiful neighborhood. With my husband’s mobility issues, the cottage had everything we need to a most comfortable stay: could drive to (and park) by the entrance, no steps, an easily accessible shower, and a king-size bed. And there couldn’t be more gracious and kind host. One of our most favorite stays, ever.
