Photos absolutely do not do this home justice! It's absolutely adorable, very comfortable and homey. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The yard is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. We saw several dear during our stay. The location is great, with easy access to everything, but in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle. We will definitely rent here again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better host! Misty was wonderful and communicative from the very beginning. She was always quick to respond and happy to answer any questions or help with anything we needed.The cabin was absolutely adorable, very clean, comfortable, and had everything our family needed for our stay. We felt right at home!We would highly recommend Misty and her cabin to anyone looking for a great place to stay, and we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you, Misty, for making our visit such a wonderful experience!
We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin and surroundings were so relaxing. We had everything we needed. We came to ride our bikes on the very nearby trail systems. The trail was excellent and well maintained. Misty was a wonderful communicator. Everything was as advertised. We will definitely stay again.

I love having returning guests ! Im so glad you came back. Thanks so much for your review. I appreciate it so much . Misty
Our stay was pleasant and enjoyable. The owner's listing is completely accurate. Misty takes good care of the details; this place has everything you need.
We really enjoyed our stay, it was a perfect for our family. The location is great, an easy 30 minute drive into Atlanta and about an hour to Peachtree City. Our host was incredible, very informative and available if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again.
Honestly, the best vacation experience I’ve had with my children host was helpful and gracious property was well-maintained and clean even offered to wash our personal clothing if we needed it truly a five star experience

This location looks just like the pics. Very quiet, clean, and cozy. Plenty of furnished dishes, bottled water, snacks, and coffee. A friendly cat that sits on the front porch who loves people and Misty (the owner of the cottage) is quick to answer any questions. Will definitely be back.
