Summary: Thank you, we enjoyed our stay. The location was very convenient and we felt very comfortable. I really appreciated the owner of the property shipping my laptop back to me since I left it behind. It was a very kind gesture! The whole process from booking to the end of our trip was seemless!

Summary: It was perfect, everyday my wife and I found some new antique that we didnt see the day before. Every room felt nice and cozy. Coffee on the front porch is a must. Thank you for a great week.

Summary: We had the most wonderful stay at this charming cottage! It was cozy, beautifully decorated, and felt like a true escape from the hustle of everyday life. We especially loved relaxing on the porch and soaking in the peaceful mountain air. Every detail was thoughtfully done, making it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend for anyone needing a little reset in a beautiful, serene setting!

Summary: Property was just as advertised, a very cute and cozy spot. My wife and I enjoyed the week we stayed here being so close to the city of Clayton, within walking distance. This is our second visit to Clayton…plenty of nice shops and good restaurants. Just down the road from the cottage is a very nice winery, Tiger Mountain Vineyards…worth the visit. All in all, the cottage is a comfy, convenient location for a couple’s getaway.
