It is quiet and charming. The owners take very good care of it and are easy to work with for the rental. It is a little way out of Lava Hot Springs, but that worked for us to get us out of the hustle and bustle of the Fire and Ice Festival that we attended. ##### Hayley M.

It was super clean and looked exactly like it did in photos. Allyne was very responsive to messages and accommodating to our requests. The cottage was so peaceful about 10 -15 minutes from Lava. The beds were super comfortable. We enjoying seeing and meeting all the animals on the farm! We would definitely book again. ##### Sonya D. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michael k. 4 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway We had an amazing time! Allyne, and Raymond, were so welcoming and friendly. Kids loved helping with the chores, and spent the entire time, running around outside with the chickens, cats, and dog. Cottage itself was nicely appointed, and cozy. Although there is no ac, as long as you leave the windows open overnight, and close in the am, the cottage stays cool the entire day. Allyne and the kids picked some fresh raspberries, radishes, and we got fresh eggs as well. Could not recommend more highly. As long as you can deal with some insects( this is a farm afterall) you will absolutely love it. ##### michael k.

We weren't able to enjoy everything this vacation spot had to offer, as we had a celebration of life to attend for my husband's deceased uncle. We do plan to come back in the future when we can bring the family to enjoy what the cottage has to offer. I can't praise the host Allyne enough, what a wonderful thoughtful sweet person, just a joy to visit with and so accommodating! This is a beautiful cottage with everything you need in it, just bring your food. ##### Norma S.
