This house was in a wonderful location. It is a great neighborhood and close to downtown. The kitchen was well stocked. The master was large, and it was nice to have an on suite, but it would be even better if there was a king size bed in there.

It was a great place! We enjoyed the backyard. The proximity to restaurants and shops was ideal! It was very quiet, which is something we appreciated. The sunsets were just a short walk away. We also appreciated the extra amenities that were made available. Overall, a really nice stay!

Everything was perfect! Kristin is a wonderful host. She responds quickly to any questions. My friend and I went to Fairhope to see the Christmas lights and the location of Kristin's house is within walking distance of the beautifully lighted streets. The house is charming, clean, comfortable and well appointed with everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful Cottage & Location

Beautiful & comfortable cottage with an excellent location. We walked every day into town. We also loved the neighborhood & took many walks just enjoying all the beautiful homes. The many small touches in the cottage made it so special.

Quaint Cottage

If you’re looking for a getaway to Fairhope, this cottage is the place to be. This cottage is right in the heart of downtown Fairhope, a short walk to the pier and Mobile Bay where you can see gorgeous sunsets. The cottage is well-equipped, nicely decorated and the owner is very easy to and prompt in communicating with you. We would stay here again.

My home away from home

This was my 4th or 5th time staying here. I travel to Fairhope often and this is the only place that I stay now. It’s so charming and comfortable. Best of all, it’s in the prettiest part of town right near the bay. Kristin is such an accessible and accommodating host. The Summit house is my home away from home.

Weekend family visit

We came in for the weekend for my brother in laws’ celebration of life ceremony. This was a fairly large event and for us to be able to have a quiet haven was extra special and very helpful. Fairhope is such a beautiful place and we were literally three minutes away from my sisters’ home where the event took place. A very convenient and lovely stay for us. Thank you!
