Great stay
We stayed there while visiting the state park and hiking in the Mammoth March. Everything was great. My only recommendation would be out mirrors in bedrooms too! We had 4 women getting ready at the same time so that would’ve helped! But it was a great house! Very cute and comfy

Weekend Visit
We weren't in town long to actually relax but this property is hands down 10/10! The cleanest place I have ever stayed. It is about 10 mins off a main road but there is great wi-fi. If you get in late they have everything you need to make it thru breakfast the next morning. They have literally thought of everything! Check in and out was a breeze. Communication was great. Parking was great. We loved everything about it! Highly recommend!

We love meeting new people! I own a boutique in downtown Sparta, walking distance from the Nook on Maple St. My husband John was born-and-raised in Sparta and is now a retired insurance executive. We are are a fun, loving couple who loves traveling and spending time with our granddaughters. John loves collecting cool vintage signs and treasures and Jongee loves contemporary and modern design (with a bit of funky) - you can see both of our personalities come through in our rental decor. We are passionate about our charming small-town, and are happy to assist you with anything you may need during your stay!
