Nice return visit
Easy to work with and fast response. Location is in the middle of everything. Older home with great wood floors, bathroom tiles, etc. A nice mix of updates and preserved cottage. Twin beds in the front and the double in the other room is perfect for us.

Girls getaway
The house is adorable. It comfortably fit the 5 of us. We spent the day at a winery and enjoyed visiting in the living room after. Communication and check in were great. The oven does run pretty hot. We made some frozen pizzas and we had to turn the temp down to keep them from burning. Location was great. We ate breakfast at Montgomery’s and that was amazing. Great experience!

Good value
The home is an older home which appears to have been built in stages. The floors are quite creaky and the age shows throughout. The worst issue for us was the noise of the street out front. We had expected less traffic in such a small town, although the owner made no such claim. The beds were excellent and there was plenty of hot water. The furniture is in good shape. In view of the price we felt it was a good value.

Lovely clean cottage
Very clean and comfortable; a lot of care obviously went into refurbishing it. Comfortable bed, nice linens. Kitchen appliances worked well, Keurig and snacks ready for us. It could use a toaster 😊 Take care in the tiny bathroom, the doorway is very low and tall guests might bang their heads. Nice outside areas a big plus. Would stay there again.

Cute little house
Our family of four spent a quick overnight here for a campus visit at SIU. We arrived pretty late, and access to the house was really quick and easy. Very clean and cute house with plenty of character. Great communication from the homeowner. We would definitely stay here again.

This place was perfect for what we needed. It was very nice on the inside and very clean. We stayed following a concert at Walker’s Bluff. It’s about a twelve minute drive from there. The property owner was great to work with.

Excellent, 5-star place to stay!
The cottage was exactly as the listing showed, was very clean and smelled amazing and bed / couch were very comfortable. Everything you could imagine was accommodated and more. The location was safe and a short drive to anything you could need. Communication with the host was quick and straight forward. I could not ask for a better host or cottage. I will be booking a stay at the Cottage on Grand next time I’m in the area.
