Bill and his wife, Diane are model guests. Kind, considerate, and clean. I rate them as the best. They left the place as they found it, save soiled linens etc. It's my hope that they left with a fond memory and will return, maybe for the fall leaf season in October.

Charles was an exceptional host. The cottage was perfect for my stay. It was very clean and very cozy. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. The location is outstanding. It is literally 2 blocks from maine st. It takes 4 minutes to walk to the restaurants. I rode my motorcycle to Clayton, and it was fantastic to have the garage to park my bike in. I come to Clayton regularly and will definitely use the cottage again. Thanks Charles.
