I give my guests space but am available when needed. \*NOTE ON BED\* - The day bed is a trundle bed that converts to two twins, or can be combined to make one king! \*Monthly Rates Available - Please Inquire\* The Do Better Cottage is owned by the New River Historical Society and holds a storied past intricately linked to the story of the area and it’s prominent citizens. The house is thought to have been built in 1849 which is where historical records first indicate someone living on the property. The cottage, locally known as the “Do Better Cottage” may have gotten it’s name during this time. When it was built, it was only a small two room cottage and the name may have been since the couple who built it were to live there until they could “do better” for themselves. The front of the home will be used for archival purposes as a part of the Wildness Road Museum which is across the street from the home. Additionally, the home will be used for various events associated with the Museum.

Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Christine R. 14 May 2025 #### Quaint and comfy I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The only reason for 4 stars is because there is no actual bed or bedroom. I was in a hurry when I booked and missed that detail. The daybed was comfy, just a bit small. It would also be nice to have a few amenities in the bathroom, ie: shampoo minimally. I didn't pack any for my short stay and that posed a problem on my crazy tight schedule. The kitchen was great, TV worked well with apps. Be careful not to let the key fall through the porch when accessing the key box. I would definitely stay again! ##### Christine R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Mayfair](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mayfair-London-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n6054503-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Eldoret](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Eldoret-Hotels.s50-0-d1101.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Browns Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Browns-Downtown.h4502684.Hotel-Information) > > [Ski Hotels in Geneva](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Geneva-Hotels-Ski-Hotels.0-0-d180003-tSkiHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Cascais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cascais-Hotels-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d4896-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mitsis Selection Laguna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Laguna-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h4260878.Hotel-Information) > > [Libertel Canal Saint Martin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Libertel-Canal-Saint-Martin.h1285.Hotel-Information) > > [Bramwood Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Bramwood-Guest-House.h33802764.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blacksburg-Hotels-Mountain-Lake-Lodge.h12055.Hotel-Information) > > [Diana Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fethiye-Hotels-Diana-Residence.h7050581.Hotel-Information) > > [Skyland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luray-Hotels-Skyland.h421517.Hotel-Information) > > [Stone House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hawes-Hotels-Stone-House-Hotel.h11974569.Hotel-Information) > > [Papillon Belvil Holiday Village - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belek-Hotels-Papillon-Belvil-Holiday-Village-All-Inclusive.h1191860.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Tysons Corner](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vienna-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Tysons-Corner.h13236.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Easton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Easton-Bristol-Hotels.0-n553248635979204306-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Novotel London Brentford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Novotel-London-Brentford.h7985184.Hotel-Information) > > [Tower House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halifax-Hotels-Tower-House-Hotel.h1381218.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Grand-InterContinental-Seoul-Parnas.h22529.Hotel-Information) > > [Queens University Belfast - Elms Village - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-Hotels-Queens-University-Belfast-Elms-Village.h1595569.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos - Adults Only - All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Le-Blanc-Spa-Resort-Los-Cabos-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h18584139.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels Durham Royal County](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durham-Hotels-Durham-Marriott-Hotel-Royal-County.h16844.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Broadstairs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d182471-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Santo Domingo (SDQ) to Punta Cana (PUJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sdq/puj/santo-domingo-to-punta-cana) > > [Flights from Aberdeen (ABZ) to Pisa (PSA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abz/psa/aberdeen-to-pisa) ### Cars > [Car hire in Mijas Pueblo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Mijas-Pueblo.d6355771.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [National Car Rental Car Rentals In London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-London.d178279-c42.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Side](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Side.d4218.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Torr Head](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torr-Head-Ballycastle.d6276432.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Seven Sisters](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seven-Sisters.dx3000387014) > > [Visit Ponterwyd](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ponterwyd.dx6048724)
