Very nice place to stay. Took a bit of time to cool it down with hot temps outside and splits off when I arrived but will stay again. Owner very welcoming. Plenty of room and very comfortable.

Thanks so much! Hope to have the front porch redone and the cobblestone kitchen walkway in before your next trip. We are booked pretty solid through April so grab dates when you know when they are. See you soon!

Highly recommend and we hope to return!

We came to attend a nearby event. It was only a 4-minute drive from the house. Impressed with how large the rooms were. The full kitchen was also impressive.

Lovely getaway in a charming town

This property has cozy historic vintage cottage vibes inside and out. The rooms were spacious, well-decorated, with high ceilings and lots of natural light from windows (and light-blocking curtains for sleeping.) The kitchen was well-stocked with appliances and basics like coffee, tea, salt, sugar, and snacks. The home is within walking distance of cute downtown Newberry. The host was easy to get ahold of for check-in, check-out, and parking information. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend.

We went to Newberry for a concert in the downtown opera house. There was a chain hotel right across the street from the venue but why would you want to stay in a small one bedroom hotel room with poor lighting. Instead you could stay in a comfortable cottage with a large bedroom, separate living room, and a well equipped kitchen that includes a full washer and dryer. The cottage is within a short walking distance of the downtown which has some nice shops and some very good restaurants. The cottage is an older building with charm and is well maintained. Should we return to Newberry, we would definitely stay here again.

The house was quite old. Had trouble getting the temperature comfortable. Kitchen spigot did not operate smoothly. Owner was responsive to our problem with the shower.

Yes indeed, 100 year old cottages are indeed quite old. Sorry it did meet your expectations for an old cottage. Folks who stay here are typically looking for old charm. Best to you in your future bike adventures!

Quaint and great location. We would suggest more focus on functional aspects over decorative ones. No empty dresser. Needs closet light switch. Washer and dryer were great. Could use a grab bar in the shower. The critters in the attic were quite active this morning. Several of the windows had cracked panes. That being said, we enjoyed our stay.

Thanks for the excellent feedback. We did have the attic checked and have asked subsequent guests if they have heard any noise in the attic. To date, and we book almost every night, and it has been two weeks, no one has heard a thing. Bar is a great idea. I will look into that. Cottage is quite old and electricity to the closet is a modern addition. I suppose one of these days we should consider that. No one has mentioned that before. The upper drawers are usually empty. Sounds like cleaners may have put extra linens and such in those drawers. Sorry about that. Thanks again for the feedback. Always helpful to hear from guests.

Cute cottage

It feels historical, solid, wood floors, high ceilings, cozy. A one bedroom one bath cottage close to everything. Comfy king bed, soft linens. Kitchen fully stocked with supplies. Living room has plenty of seating. TV in both living room and bedroom if you want. You can walk anywhere. It was raining, so we drove. Free parking all over town. Easy walk to college- practically on campus. But quiet. Very. Slept well. Owners live in the big house in property behind. Warm greeting and we were happy to find fresh milk in the fridge for morning coffee. Thank you!! Bring your own for the big pot or use the Kuerig. They have both. We will stay there when we return for another concert at the Newberry Opera House.
