My family and I enjoyed our stay here at this cozy house which was clean and extremely well stocked with linens, toiletries, and kitchen essentials. Next time we're in town we won't hesitant to book again!
What a thoughtful appointed getaway! Close to pine barren hikes and lakeside dining options. We arrived to find s'mores ingredients, breakfast items, lots of coffee and tea selections, microwave popcorn, lots of bottled water, etc. etc. Small but really well designed space. Very comfortable and pleasant.
This house is very cozy, and tastefully decorated. Everything was really clean.The snacks and drinks were a nice bonus.All in all, we had a wonderful stay. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed returning here for a second summer stay! It is truly an extremely easy check in and check out process. The cottage was clean and included many unexpected goodies for guests, already made beds, and plenty of toiletries. Thank you and we look forward to staying again next year!
The property was Very clean, well kept, Nicely decorated, and very well stocked with all the essentials to make full use of the kitchen. The extra amenities Were a fantastic extra as well! We definitely felt like our comfort was made top priority during our stay.
My partner and our dog had such an amazing trip and the cottage was wonderful! Cherene is a fantastic host and very thoughtful provide all necessities and bonus treats. And the area is beautiful! We would absolutely recommend staying here!
We enjoyed this cottage for our stay. It is nicely updated and provided all we needed during our stay. They even left us all the necessary items to make s’mores at the fire pit.
Very quaint cottage in a quiet neighborhood with a great restaurant nearby. Clean. Host was very easy to deal with and provided good, timely information. Whole family greatly enjoyed the stay. Would definitely stay at property again.
We had a lovely stay at the Sweetwater Mullica River Cottage. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and clean. Charene was incredibly responsive and provided lots of Information prior to check in. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing that was unclear when we booked was you have to walk through the one bedroom to get to the other, and there’s no door between the two.
Beautiful, clean common room spaces, including the she-shed out back. The whole house was very well prepared for guests to arrive. Cherene was extremely kind, helpful, and willing to answer any questions we had. No complaints of our stay whatsoever. If we’re in the area, we will definitely stay here again!!!
The cottage was clean, beautiful and had anything you could possibly need. I was grateful the host responded quickly as the reservation was last minute due to a funeral in a nearby town and she was so helpful! We really appreciated her kindness and understanding when we arrived so late due to flight delays. We'd love to stay here again, especially when it's warm and we can enjoy the river!
This cottage was so charming, we loved our stay. Everything was beautiful inside and clean! It had enough space for all 5 of us, plus our dog.
Cherene provided detailed instructions regarding checking in/out and all the amenities available. She was very responsive to all my messages. There was also a detailed binder with all the information needed and more. As well as local eateries and things to do listed.
Cottage was stocked with toiletries, extra linens and blankets and yummy snacks.
Loved the Lanai to just sit and enjoy nature and not have to worry about the dog running out!
Added perk, the Sweetwater Marina and Riverdeck is just down the road, and the food was good!
Would definitely recommend and stay again!!
I stayed here because my wife and i were going to attend an event in A.C.. We wanted to bring our dog and my mother-in-law. This place was perfect for us. The yard was fenced in so that the dog could run free in the spacious yard. Beds were very comfortable. The house is walking distance from a decent bar and grill where we ate before attending the event. Loved the shower and the owner left us plenty of products to use along with clean towels. The beds were very comfortable. The owner was very helpful in answering all our questions about the local area. My wife and I are coffee and tea drinkers and the owner fully stocked the Keurig. Really loved the stay wish we had more time. The house is about a half hour drive from A.C. so you can enjoy the time there but then go back to your perfect little cottage in the pines and get away from the chaos and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Misleading advertisement regarding actual space
It ended up being 6 of us attending a family event nearby. This property advertisement describes enough space for 7. With two bedrooms. There is actually only one small bedroom.
They other space is a bed cramped in what is clearly a walk in closet . There is not a door between both sleeping spaces.
Making privacy for the couples non existent.
The air conditioning in the common area is good but does not reach the bedroom making the small closet space unbearable. One of the couples opted to go to a family’s home because even with the fan the air just does not circulate in that small cramped area.
There were only 4 bath towels. Not being petty but if towels are part of the package I expect enough for all guest.
We were looking forward to eating as a family in The outside shed beautifully decorated . We put the air on upon arrival on Friday.
As of Sunday morning this shed was 90 degrees. The air conditioner in that shed is not powerful enough for summertime heat.
All in all I feel defrauded.
the bedrooms the bedrooms so one

Dear Ivette,
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your ecxpectations. This is my first and ONLY one star review and I am taking it very seriously. I strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all my guests, and I appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
My home is small but cozy and I understand if you felt it wasn’t roomy enough for your group. I thought we went over the sleeping arrangements and you were comfortable with them. I also allowed you to bring a pet regardless of my no pet policy.
Regarding the privacy and sleeping areas, I make every effort to clearly describe the layout and features of my home in the listing. There are detailed pictures as well. Each guest clearly sees that beyond the bedroom the couches are the only additional option for sleeping. However, I understand that sometimes expectations can differ, and I will review the listing to ensure everything is as clear as possible.
As for the shed, it is clearly stated that this is an outside dwelling and is not connected to the main house. Although it does have electric I never claimed this space was heated or cooled. It is for outdoors entertaining only.
As for the amenities, I always aim to go above and beyond for my guests by providing a variety of comforts, such as my renter welcome package on the stove that includes multiple snacks and a s’mores kit, a full coffee and tea area, toiletries that include things typical places do not leave like bug spray and sunblock. A case of water in the fridge. I also left you plenty of wood and starter logs for the fire that I see you enjoyed. As for the temperature inside the house, again your expectations could differ here as well, in addition to my mini split, I offer a window AC unit as well as three powerful fans in every room and plentiful linens throughout the house. I apologize if there was any misunderstanding about the sleeping arrangements or the temperature of the house as well as the number of towels provided; I ensure that six towels were available for your use. I go above and beyond for every single guest and your happiness is my top priority!
I hope that despite these issues, you were able to enjoy some aspects of your stay. I hope you also consider that a one star review deeply impacts my score as a host on VRBO. Maybe in the future you could consider reaching out to your hosts and allowing them to make up for any issues you felt were deserving of only one star. However, your feedback is invaluable in helping me improve, and I hope you might consider staying with me again in the future so I can provide the exceptional experience I strive for.
Best regards,
Cherene
