The host was incredibly welcoming and offered assistance with anything we needed. The surrounding area was well maintained and peaceful. The house was just perfect; you can tell they put a lot of effort into it. I will be re-booking when I need a break from work and the craziness

Excellent Stay

Enjoyed the tiny home and property during our stay. Mauro and Teresa were very accommodating and hospitable. Property is located right off the highway and provided plenty of space for our family activities. The pond and open space was very relaxing. Will definitely be returning and suggest for a nice getaway from the noise of the city.

A Beautiful Weekend

From the time we arrived till the time we left, the experience was peaceful and serene. The entire environment was like living inside of a warm hug. We loved the campfires each night. The nearby hen house and the sweet neighborly cat also gave such a cozy touch to the feel of the place. We played our instruments together by the pond, which for us was both fun and romantic. Such opportunity was made possible through provision of this wonderful B&B that The Rodriguezes share. And we are very blessed and thankful.And we intend to come back!

Perfect Gift!

My husband had been wanting to go fishing for about two years but between heat, drought, flooding and other obligations it has been difficult to accommodate him. When I found Minerva’s Cottage I unknowingly had found a dream come true for his birthday! I never thought I would hear him call uncle on fishing! After 3 days of catch and release to his heart’s content he decided to put his feet up and enjoy Minerva’s a little more. The tiny house was a great space- comfy bed, cold AC, full kitchen, fabulous front porch. We spent our “at home” time on the porch in the rocking chairs looking at the pond- ceiling fan, no mosquitoes, comfortable quiet time, listening to all of the sounds of the country. Mauro and Teresa were great host/hostess. I came prepared for the outdoors, bug spray etc… Mauro & Teresa had plenty at our disposal but the good news is, we didn’t need it and it had rained off and on before and after we arrived. For someone who attracts mosquitoes it was great. Thank you Mauro & Teresa for offering your beautiful place for others to use.
