Cute quiet getaway

I booked this just so I could pet the donkeys. I'm from the area and just needed a quiet place to get some computer work done. This spot was great. Check in was easy, I Love that it was gated and the donkeys were a huge plus they were so cute.

Fun/Quaint/Tranquil

This vrbo was located in an area which was tranquil yet close to town. Our great grandson visited us for a few hours and thoroughly enjoyed feeding the donkeys 6# of carrots. Little things that made us feel comfortable and welcoming were the little welcome sign (chalkboard) and the mints. All the amenities of home and more. The bed was very comfortable. Would stay again when in town.

A Good Place Off the Beaten Path

We stayed here just one night on our way driving north for vacation. Very good communication with property manager, through both email and texting. We let them know we would be arriving a bit earlier and they were able to offer us early check-in. Directions were very detailed, we had no problems. The cottage was as described, and all ready for us. Plenty of fresh linens, dishes, paper goods, etc. Things were nice and neat, few notes on where to find things. Nice binder of info about property, instructions, etc. We did not have need of anything extra, nut no doubt the property manager would have helped if we did. We felt very welcomed and comfortable. We had our small dog with us, she lovedit there! Plenty of room inside and out to enjoy. We saw the donkeys, but didn't go over to them. Many people do enjoy them. We were pleased with our overall experience here and would definitely stay again.

Nice getaway

We had a great time staying at Claire's Cottage. The area was so quiet and peaceful. The home had plenty of room for our family of four and dog, with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Having an EV charger on the property was very convenient and our girls had a great time feeding the donkeys. Thanks for sharing your home!

Stateside Getaway

My husband and I are full time missionaries of Guatemala. Found this cozy little cottage to stay at when we visited Dothan for our Daughter’s graduation from Troy. We enjoyed the remote location and the quiet atmosphere. This was our first VRBO and we love it way more than staying at hotels. Our Granddaughter enjoyed feeding the donkeys apples….Not to mention the princess water bottle in the refrigerator waiting on her was a huge bonus!!

Wonderful place to stay

Everything was great for my stay. They made sure I knew where the EV charger was and I charged my car for my trip the next day. Everything was comfortable and quiet which is exactly what I needed! I loved the animals-they were adorable and living their best life! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Claire Paquette

I am an older, stay-at-home, very busy mum. Besides school related activities I am busy looking after our many (rescued) animals; 4 dogs, 4 cats, 6 goats, 5 miniature donkeys, a horse and a mule. I have moved around a lot as my husband is a retired army officer and I am English by birth. I still love to travel when time permits only now its mostly closer to home. I have three children. My oldest is an ER nurse and no longer at home, a 18 year old son and a 12 year old daughter. As a family we love to stay active and involved in our community and attend most of our local events. You'd be surprised at all the fun activities the little town of Dothan puts on.
I feel I am a very open-minded person and I have brought my children up likewise. If you are different (or not) you will fit in very well here.

Why they chose this property

Our property is unique in that it is a green space that creates a park like atmosphere, just minutes from town. It is very secluded and private.
