A peaceful, clean, quiet property to stay. Would have been nice to have a better firepit.Property is remote; get what you need from town before your visit.
Clean, relaxing, had everything we needed. The house was warm and the driveway plowed after a large snow storm. Great place. The second time we stayed and plan to go back again.

It was a pleasure having you as our guest. We appreciate that you left the Cottage neat and tidy. Thank you for choosing to stay at Horseshoe Cottage again!
House was as advertised, very clean and homey! Alot of comfortable seating and the beds were very comfortable as well! Kitchen is well equipped with everything you would need and plenty of towels/wash clothes for bathroom use. Would definitely stay here again!
We were very satisfied with our trip. We came to stay for sledding at Blackwater Falls State Park, only about 30 minutes away. The house is lovely and felt like home.

Thank you very much! It's not to shabby in the warm weather either. You are welcome back!
VERY clean and such a cozy place to stay. The house was warm. It is well stocked with linens and towels and basic essentials. We would stay here again. Very cozy and peaceful.
It was clean and quiet. Little on the older side, but we just needed a place to lay our heads, relax, and visit the area. Washer and dryer were a positive!

The house was clean and neat, the area was quiet and it served our needs for a weekend of skiing at Timberline and visiting Blackwater Falls State Park
Quick response from the host when needed, house was clean and welcoming and we had everything we needed for our stay. We were very thankful for the warmth of the house since we were there when it was minus temps. Took us about 40 mins to get to Timberline ski resort and that was in icy conditions.
