We had a slight hiccup that meant we changed rooms. Zach was great, got us situated and provided needed info quick. Would stay here again and will recommend. Turned out in the end, the hiccup was my issue anyway !! Great stay !
This place was very clean very quiet very close to downtown. The bed was excellent to sleep in. I would highly recommend and will likely rebook again.

We had a lovely stay. The space is nicely decorated, clean, and welcoming—exactly what we were hoping for. The bathroom was spotless and well-stocked with all the essentials, which made settling in very easy and comfortable.
We really appreciated the care that clearly went into making the space cozy and inviting.
Amenities and location were good! Bed and room were comfortable but heat from house did not kick on until during the first night and was freezing until room heater got it warmed up. Then we were nice and toasty! Key box and leaving key there at all times was a little unusual but not a problem either. Flower beds and a few upkeep items outside looked like needed some attention, but other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was very comfortable for the price and amenities!! Adding a lounge chair of some sort would have been nice for sitting before bed.... Thanks so much, we had a wonderful time and details were as advertised. Was easy in and out! Thanks again.
Clean and cozy room…nice and big, and I loved the high ceilings!

Zach was a wonderful host, easy to communicate with and provided a clean cozy space for me and my husband. We enjoyed the town and how convenient our place was from everything!
Thank you for a great getaway!
We had a lovely stay. Zach was extremely attentive and accommodating. The proximity to town was great. Each room also has a set of bikes that make roaming around easy and fun. Will definitely be staying there again next time we are in town.
Quiet space for two with a few quirks. Key entry was a bit of a pain and road ways were hard to navigate at first. However good place for a quiet getaway.
I enjoyed my stay after the manager offered me an upgrade simply because nobody else was staying in the other cabin for the weekend. The cabin was clean and refreshing. I enjoyed my stay!
My girlfriend and I stayed for the weekend and went into Jefferson and fished at Caddo. Our place was awesome, clean and welcoming. The owners were easy to communicate with and accommodating!
We will be back!
