Great experience!

This is the second time we’ve stayed, both times for the holidays. We could comfortably accommodate the 4 adults/teens in the two bedrooms. The already plowed/shoveled driveway and salted steps/ porch was so greatly appreciated. Would definitely stay again!!

Great winter weekend getaway!

Our family of 4 had a great weekend stay for skiing at Jack Frost and watching movies by the fire. Extra bonus to be able to bring our golden and have a nice hike to Hawk Falls before heading home. Thanks for sharing your home!

The bungalow was nice. The communication with the host was good. The bungalow could have been cleaner. There was a lot of pet hair. The grill wasn't cleaned and fire pit area was messy.

Great Property

Everything from check in to check out was excellent. The home was nice, perfect for our family. Dog friendly which is a must for us! Rooms were just right, everything was as described! Nice deck to hang out and cook dinner on the grill at night. Also watching the wildlife around the home as we had deer almost every day! We fully enjoyed the cool nights in the middle of the summer! Kitchen size worked well for a week trip, plenty of room in the refrigerator. Rest of appliances looked pretty new and all worked well! Internet was TMobile cellular and worked. Bedrooms were just right. Very happy with our stay.

Nice quiet place

The house is small but it’s quaint and clean. There’s a nice area behind the house to walk around in a little wooded area for your dogs; however if you’re looking for endless-like space, there are houses close by. It was very peaceful and Lake Harmony is only a ten minute drive. That’s where some restaurants are located. Overall it was a great place to getaway. I’d go there again

Ok for a quick trip.

The cottage is dated. Furnishings flimsy and space is ok for no more than 2-3 people, we were 6 (2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 kids). We noticed some insects that needed extermination and reported it to the property manager. There is also no washer or dryer in the house so no fresh towels if you need them especially after finding insects in them. Traveling with children can make this a big inconvenience as it was for us us. Unfortunately we cannot recommend the property in its current state and will not consider it for another stay in the community.

Hi Jennifer, we’re sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:- We take the accuracy of our listing seriously and use professional photographers so we can be sure that our images accurately reflect our property and guests can decide before booking if the home, decor, and furnishings meet their expectations. Additionally, we do not advertise a washer and dryer as available amenities. - Since purchasing the property 3 years ago we have completely remodeled it, including the bathroom which was done 2 years ago. We have added some country items such as the antique rocker to create a country charm, providing a warm cozy feeling.- The home is professionally cleaned before each stay, and while no bug issues have been reported before or since your visit, we’ll spray the property as a precaution.We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

We had the best weekend staying at this cottage with. The cottage is very cute, comfy and clean. a major plus too is that it is pet friendly so you can bring your fur-babies with you. Also, it is well equipped with things you may need from games, kitchen items, dog bowls and leashes, towels, sheets, etc. We highly recommend this property. We will definitely be renting this cottage again.
