Quiet, well appointed

Gorhams bluff is a very interesting area. It's tucked back in a secluded commune kind of village that seems clean and well maintained. This house is quite beautiful. Already booked a return visit.

Great cozy Cabin with amazing views close

We stayed here for all the close hiking in the area. We didn’t know how amazing the views would be walking around this neat secluded, relaxing community. The hot tub was awesome. Kitchen came with needed things to prepare meals, the outside gas grill was in great shape. Highly recommend this place, and would stay here again.

Cozy getaway

The cabin was clean and beautiful. Quiet area. Would have rated 5 stars but the fireplaces were not working (which was part of the reason we booked the property). Did not alert us until check in.

Mom / Daughter Getaway.

My 12 year old daughter and I wanted a little getaway to hang out and relax. We chose WEyward Cottage for is close easy drive to Unclaimed Baggage for a little shopping on Saturday but we also chose for the community pool to lounge at. It was all we wanted and more. We fell in love with the GEM that is Gorham Bluff. The charming houses and the southern charm and village vibes. We loved the views of the river and hills. Just a great place to getaway that was a quick 6 hour drive from Indiana. I have already spread the word to family that they should go check this place out. We will likely be back soon. The cottage itself has plenty of room and was so comfortable with all amenities we needed.
