We have stayed multiple times at this location. It is in a great location, clean, and comfortable. The hosts even made some improvements since we stayed last time - a real fire pit and built a deck! The hosts respond immediately with any question and the check-in and checkout processes are very easy. We love to stay here!

This property was an instant “fall in love” moment for us. It’s Southern charm was matched only by the hospitality of our hosts. Everything was truly perfect right down to the last detail. Prime location to UA and super quiet location at night. We’ll definitely be re-booking for our future visits!

We really enjoyed our stay at Charming Retreat. Jeff and Mary were wonderful hosts, and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The home is beautifully maintained. It was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with small touches that made it feel inviting. The peaceful atmosphere made it easy to relax and unwind. The outdoor space was spacious and well-curated with plenty of seating. We’d happily return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, memorable getaway.
