A great cottage.

The cottage is very charming and a fun place to stay. Everything was there that you could need. The cottage was immaculate and every thing worked. It was very thoughtful of the owner to have snacks and goodies available. I would definitely recommend this cottage to others and we hope to return again. A 5 star rental.

Quaint two story

This was a lovely home and taken care of, I felt I had gone to grandma's house! The layout of the two upstairs bedrooms was a bit different as the renovated modern bathroom was connected to one of the bedrooms and to get to the third bedroom you had to walk through the bedroom that has the bathroom. I think it would be great for families but I am not so sure about couples who might like their own private space. The deck was wonderful and we really enjoyed the space. With it being an older home with original wood floors there are some squeaks but it adds to the charm. The neighborhood is a little noise in the morning but it is so close to the Busy Bee restaurant that it was not a big deal. I loved that our host had cookies and snacks and a few items in the fridge for a tasty breakfast! What a treat! The bed in the larger front bedroom was very comfortable. I appreciated all the notes for the house.

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Boring

My husband and I are retired and we use the cottage to visit family and friends while in Marietta. I love people and enjoy the outdoors. My husband likes to garden and hunt. He is a retired WV coal miner of 37 years and a Viet Nam war veteran. We currently reside near Morgantown, WV.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this house the minute I saw it. It was in need of TLC but was basically a one owner home of a lady who used to walk to work on the 'old' railroad bridge at historic Lafayette Hotel! We have worked very hard to bring beauty back to this home. It has been a labor of love and we love River Rock Cottage and offer it with the confidence that you will love it too!

What makes this property unique

This home is perfect for history lovers and nature lovers. The Muskingam and Ohio Rivers meet here..a 2 minute walk up the street will bring you fantastic views of this meeting!! Shopping, hiking, bike riding, swimming, antiquing, flea marketing, and dining all right at the front door!!!! A hometown feeling with so much to do!!
