The cottage was lovely and it was easy to check-in. The owners were traveling but still managed to communicate with us to arrange a garden tour. The only slight off-note was that the cleaning products used left a strong smell but this was not a big deal. Thank you for a pleasant overnight stay!

This was our first time to book on vrbo! The place was exactly what we needed. Quiet and relaxing. We just needed a bed and bathroom but they offered a kitchen and dining area. The garden was amazing. We can't imagine how much work goes into something like that! Lots of charm, history and the claw foot bathtub was a great addition!

We had a wonderful stay in Tyler. This cottage is in a very nice neighborhood, what a beautiful area! The hosts were incredibly kind, and it's obvious that they pay attention to the details. The apartment was fully equipped with everything we needed - kitchen and bathroom items were all provided. As others have said, the gardens are amazing. We spent 45 minutes or so in awe! If we go back to Tyler, we will not look around, this stay was perfect!! We will stay here again if possible. Thank You Esther for sharing your beautiful place with us!
