We had stayed in Cottage B before and it was excellent.Cottage A is symmetrical.IT IS PEACEFUL, QUIET, AND WONDERFUL.What a clean, manicured, and fully-appointed residence.We were amazed at how many "little things" were in the house, especially the kitchen.

Cute and Comfortable

We were visiting friends who live on Lake Monticello. It is a perfect location for this. The house had everything we needed and some! We did not bring our dog but noticed that she would have felt quite welcome. We appreciated the unexpected snacks and kuerig cups. The mattress was very comfortable. Overall, a wonderful place to spend a few days!

Great Place to Stay

This is our second time staying here and once again it did not disappoint. Very clean, well supplied, and a great location. We even had some entertainment this time...a bird nest in the front door wreath had newly hatched baby birds that we could watch through the door's window. Loved seeing and hearing them when momma would come for a feeding :) We will definitely be back!
