Wonderful

This Mountain Cottage is absolutely beautiful. Communication was outstanding, the place is spotlessly clean, the kitchen is incredibly well appointed with some seriously high quality tools, the furniture is also high quality and beautiful. The bed last night was incredibly comfortable! This is an absolute 10 out of 10. Also, the views are *stunning* and the little fenced-in yard is adorable. Honestly, I'm absolutely amazed and delighted and we will definitely be back to this place

Great Stay and Beautiful Property

Jaclyn's property is an absolute gem. From the moment we stepped inside, it was evident that every detail was meticulously planned to create a warm and inviting atmosphere that truly felt like home. The breathtaking mountain view only added to the enchantment of the place, providing a serene backdrop to our stay. One of the standout aspects of our experience was the impeccable cleanliness of the property. It was clear that Jaclyn goes above and beyond to maintain a spotless environment, ensuring that guests feel comfortable and cared for throughout their stay. Her dedication to cleanliness truly sets this property apart. We were so impressed with our time here that we wouldn't hesitate to book again if we find ourselves in the area. Jaclyn's property offers not only a beautiful setting but also a level of hospitality and attention to detail that is truly commendable. It's a rare find, and we feel fortunate to have experienced it firsthand.

Charming and peaceful

My husband, our mini-schnauzer and I stayed at this lovely little cottage in early April. It is spotlessly clean, and well stocked, including with treats for our pup! Jackie is a wonderful host. The views from the cottage are beautiful. The bathroom is small, but Jackie has maximized the space and it wasn't a problem for us. The kitchen is well stocked and as we prefer to cook when we travel, we found everything we needed to prepare our meals. Overall, I would highly recommend, and we definitely plan to return.

This is the second time staying here as one of our stop overs heading back to Michigan from Florida. Jaclyn is so thoughtful and helpful. The guest house is adorable and very cozy. Jaclyn provides so many nice touches, like dog treats and snacks for guests. And the view from their property is stunning! Highly recommend.

Wonderful Stay

I must say this was a nice cozy stay. The owner was extremely friendly and lives on site should you have any concerns or issues. The Cozy Cottage was extremely clean, rooms were cozy and a kitchen should you want to prepare a meal. The bathroom is on the smaller side should you have mobility issues. We were fine, it suited our needs. There was a fenced in yard so that we could let the fur babies out to do their business. I would recommend should you be in the area. Will definitely keep this one in mind if and when I return to the area!!

Temporary place until house ready

We recently moved to Tennessee from California and while enroute found out our house would not be ready upon our arrival. With 4 adults and 4 dogs I had to scramble to find a place to stay temporarily. This place was perfect. It had a fenced in area for the dogs to run. The bedrooms were outstanding and the kitchen allowed us to cook and not deal with eating out every day. The owners live onsite and were super friendly and accommodating. We loved staying here and would recommend this place to anyone.

Quaint Cottage and Quiet Neighborhood

This property met our needs during our stay. The neighborhood was nice and felt safe. For what the cottage may lack (only the accessibility of the bathroom comes to mind), is made up by it's cleanliness, cute decor and attention to details to make your stay comfortable. The fenced yard for the dogs was a huge plus. The property owner, Jaclyn, is lovely and very welcoming. It's clear she cares that guests are comfortable in her cottage.
