Great stay for Sweetens Cove

We had a group of guys coming to play golf at Sweetens Cove (8 minutes away) and play some cards the rest of the time. Very laid back and easy to get to. Plenty of beds. Host is incredibly nice and very responsive

Beautiful house and great people!

We had a group of 13 friends from across the country stay here for a night while traveling for a wedding. The house was well kept, and the owners gave us a tour and explained the history of the house. Everyone in our group loved how unique the house was. The owners were super responsive with every question we had. Would definitely come back!

Character…. But....

This VRBO was not as advertised. -We came to the house at check in time and still had not received any entry instructions and we needed to call to find out if we could enter -The bathroom has two doors and no locks on either door (difficult to have any privacy) -There was no drinkable water on site at all and we needed to boil water to get clean water for coffee and breakfast (thankfully we did get water Sunday afternoon) -The patio was full of tall weeds it looked terrible and there was no fire wood other than someone else’s previous half burnt pieces of wood. -only a couple of patio chairs by the fire pit area so we could not sit outside based on the guests. -The front door handle was broken and falling off -two burners on the stove wouldn’t lite (sparkers did not work) and the other side would keep going for 5 minutes no matter what we did until we unplugged the stove. So many little things… like wasp nests at the piano door and lights fixtures with only 1 bulb working in rooms … to broken glass on the floor in kitchen which was found in a foot, front patio furniture covered in cobwebs and dirt which we needed to clean before we could use. It basically felt like they were not prepared for us to be in their place. Not at all worth what we spent on it.

About the host

Your host

We are a small family owned business that lives behind the property. Our business was in Ketchikan Alaska in the summers and our winter home was Tennessee until Covid hit and rocked our world, along with everyone else's. We had purchased the old farm next door before Covid hit and were told it was a tear down. Well, with lots of additional time due to the shutdown of Alaska tourism, we decided to bring the old home back to her former glory. It's been a labor of love and we are proud of her transformation.

What makes this property unique

We've also got 136 acres of private hiking trails and offer guided ATV tours on the property. We also offer a unique mountain breakfast for an additional charge.
