Very comfortable place to stay. Quick access to the mountains for some of the most beautiful roads to ride motorcycles. We enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch after a long day of riding.
The house was very clean and is located downtown of Etowah. The house is older, but nicely remodeled. A plus is the fenced in backyard for pets. Communication with the owner was very easy and prompt. No complaints here.
Our family was visiting for a wedding and really enjoyed the cottage. Home was super comfortable, well-appointed, and larger than we expected. Owner was very communicative, friendly, and accommodating!
I appreciate the owner allowing pets. This is my primary search filter when looking for a property. With a fenced backyard, a deck and patio that were constructed to contain a pet, I couldn't be more pleased. It's clear the 1902 property has undergone some renovations, like a new HVAC system and second bathroom. That said, there is a faint smell in the house that I attributed to the home's age. I'm sure the owner has plans for additional projects, so do expect some 'older' features, but completely usable. The location was perfect for me as I have family in Etowah. I will say this property is head and shoulders above any hotel you may find in the area. Overall, I would stay in this property again when returning to visit family.
The cottage was beautiful. Proximity to family was around a quarter mile away. Very clean and accessible. The driveway was a bit narrow for parking for a full size truck. Found a bunch of deck screws and nails on the back deck and driveway. Thankfully I had my shoes on ended up with a nail in the in my shoe. Overall a very pleasant experience and would definitely vacation there again next year
Our Granddaughter and Great Nephew graduated High School! The home was GREAT! The grass was a little tall and about the time i noticed it, a super polite gentleman asked permission to mow it. I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. It was way nicer than a hotel!!! Thanks for your Hospitality!
A great little get away home. The house is comfortable and quaint. Two king beds (very comfortable mattress) for the adults and 2 fold up cots for the kids. Master bath has a old style clawfoot tub that it usable, as well as the shower. Water pressure is good and strong! Kitchen was very clean. K cups are furnished if needed, we used some of theres and some of ours. Washer and dryer available if needed. Pet friendly, with a fenced in backyard. We will be back!
To preface this: there was an issue with my check-in. The host was very accommodating and very kind during this issue. She went above and beyond what I expected. The house itself was lovely and I would be happy to stay there again! It makes visiting family so easy as I have a dog that is a little complicated to say the least.
Loved the porch’s beds were very come .the kitchen is well appointed and easy to move around.The only thing I would suggest is to install grab bars in the shower.Wonderful comfortable
Place was not clean. Food crumbs on the floors. Small and claustrophobic. Had planned a month but spent more time at a hotel and checked out early. Something in the cottage was giving us red long welts. There was a dirty drug abuser asking for rides and the cops were called to the same house every few nights 1-2 in the morning. Advised the property manager and she only wanted pictures so she could address the issues. Like we thought to grab a camera and take pictures of the cops outside our house with flashlights trying to call the neighbors. We never asked her for anything but felt disregarded, would never stay or recommend
We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was perfect for our needs. The dogs really enjoyed the back yard and the dog beds. Next time we need to stay in Tennessee we will definitely stay here.
My mom and I rented this cottage for a church retreat. It was perfect for the two of us. The home was very clean and in a peaceful neighborhood! We felt very safe. We will stay again, if we are in this location in the future.
It was very comfy and just unique and homey. The fenced yard was a plus since we had a dog. The bed was comfy. I would stay there again should I be in the area.
