The cottage is among the best properties we have ever stayed at-wonderfully decorated and spotlessly clean. We loved the walking trails in back and all the outdoor spaces for relaxing. Have already recommended it to others!

It’s a very nice place, clean, charming and everything you need is there. The host is very good. She is prompt with every request; she is a great communicator. The only drawback was the location (industrial) and the noisy road.

Remote paradise - will absolutely be staying again!!

Gorgeous and spotless. Tucked away close enough to KC if you need it, but far enough that it’s a getaway. Absolutely loved it!! Host responded immediately every time I had a question. Amazing!! You have to rent here!

Absolutely book this cottage!! Valerie goes out of her way with thoughtful details and attention to detail. We have so many favorite things about this property, but have to say all the “secret gardens” in the trees really put this cottage over the top! By far our favorite stay ever! Thank you, Valerie!!

Wonderful

We've stayed in many VRBOs. This property is the best . Best in cleanliness, owner communication and respecting our privacy. The cottage exhibits absolute attention to detail, both inside and out. Music, fireplace, lights, fresh flowers, robes and slippers were all waiting upon our arrival. Valerie truly was ever accommodating.
