It’s all about the Porch!!
Had a wonderful long weekend with family at this wonderful mountain cottage. The house was incredibly clean, updated bathrooms, comfortable beds, and attention to small details like light fixtures and bedding. The location was pretty and within walking distance to the Saturday Farmers Market. The real star of this house is the large screened in porch with scenic views and a breeze. It was the perfect spot for morning coffee and evening happy hour. We did not even care when it rained a bit and the slight traffic down the hill was not bothersome as some reviewers had mentioned. Our hosts were great communicators and I felt very comfortable staying in their lovely home! Also, don’t miss dinner at the Guesthouse right down the road. Charming, eclectic, live music and the best soft pretzel that you can only get when seated at the bar.

Fantastic, we will be back!
The house has been updated nicely especially bathrooms! Great view and the screened in porch is amazing! The location is fantastic, close to The Guesthouse and the farmer's s market too! If you are planning to cook a lot as we did, there is not a ton of counter space and no dishwasher.

Lovely, as always
We loved our stay at the cottage, and are repeat visitors. Great location, proximate to Guesthouse, Lost River state park, Lost & Found pizza, Vintage Variety, and they have a lovely farmers market/cafe at the bottom of the house on Saturdays. Would recommend to anyone. Fantastic valley view.

A slice of heaven
This is our second stay at this property. We LOVE it here. The location, the view, the star gazing! The house itself is lovely and the newly enclosed deck area was perfect. I’ve already recommended it to friends of ours and we’ll definitely be back for a third visit!!

Peaceful vacation
This is the second time we have stayed here. The addition of the screened in deck was truly magnificent. We also discovered if you turn on WiFi calling in your settings you can use your cell phone for texting and calling even without cell service. We absolutely had the most relaxing week. We will be back.

Beautiful cabin on a hill
Wonderful base camp to explore the area. Comfortable, spacious, and clean. The farmers market and café at the bottom of the hill owned by the same folks as the cabin is also delightful. The only negative was that the water had a slight sulfur smell, so if that bugs you bring bottled water, but it wasn’t too bad. Would absolutely stay here again.
