Yes, James got back to me immediately. Each time I reached out.This place is super adorable was just what we needed for a quiet getaway. Being pet friendly was also a great plus for us because so many people either overcharge or don’t allow you to bring a pet.The gnome home was very clean. I would definitely stay there again and I would recommend it to anyone looking for just a nice getaway. Thank you to James and his family for allowing us to stay in their home.

We were up for our son's last homecoming weekend at PSU, accommodations were perfect for 5 adults (and would be as well with 6, we had an open bed). We essentially just slept here; but in nice weather it would be great to hang out on the porch and grill out. The location was perfectly located for us, and quiet at night.

Nice place. Narrow A frame causes one to bend going upstairs to loft and standing to use 1st floor toilet. Generally a well kept place near quaint towns like Plymouth, Littleton and Lincoln. Close to national forest. We unfortunately had rain the whole visit.

We loved the Gnome House. It was super cute and had a great mountain-y feel. Kitchen and bathroom and upper level were clean and tidy but the rest of the space could have been better cleaned/dusted. There was an issue with a door lock but the host was in constant communication with us and said they’d address it upon our departure. We do recommend this place and would love to visit again. Bonus chipmunks hanging out on the property!

Just love it here!
This cottage is cozy and cute! Super easy access to the highway and the food at The Cover Bridge is super close and delicious! Perfect spot for a small family or couple of pairs!
Nothing is cuter than a red A-frame cabin nestled into the mountains during peak fall foliage! We only stayed one night but had a great time and loved how cute and cozy it was. They provided everything you could need!

Can't LOVE this place enough!
I absolutely LOVE this little gnome house. We recently stayed at this cottage, along with 2 other rentals, for our annual Sisters Weekend. This cottage was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the description. The loft bedroom was well appointed and still felt private, even though it's an open loft. The first floor bedroom was super spacious. My only suggestion would be to add a hood vent for the stove. Cooking in an A-frame was a challenge with the lack of one. James was very quick to respond to all of my questions. We absolutely plan to come back! Thanks for having us, James!! It was a great weekend!

The cabin is super cute, and simple! Close to a really yummy restaurant (Covered Bridge), and quiet, beautiful scenery. Very easy to get into town if you need something. James is super responsive, if I had any questions, I would email and get a response within 10 minutes or less.
