    This property was perfect for our family of 4! It was even better than the listing and pictures. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and to cook and keep up with our laundry from swimming at South Higgins Lake State Park. The hosts even included a paid park pass so we didn’t have to pay the daily rate to get into the state park to swim. There were so many added details to the property, such as laundry detergent and dryer sheets, & beach supplies (towels, chairs, inflatables with a pump, etc). The neighborhood is quiet and the cottage is nestled perfectly into the woods for added privacy. The fire pit and provided firewood were much appreciated. The hosts were quick to reply and provided fabulous recommendations for places to eat and explore. We absolutely plan to come back here to stay again next year! Highly recommend!

    The house was clean and comfortable. The one thing to note in the summer is that there is only an A/C unit in one upstairs bedroom. Not a knock but helpful to know if it is hot.

    The place was great, just as pictured and very clean. Check in and out was simple. The only negative was that the beds are very firm, husband opted for the couch on night two. But it’s a great stay for a family weekend!

    This is our second 4th of July at what my toddler has labeled “the green house”. We spent one morning watching a fawn resting in the woods and a rainy day playing games in the living room! Our favorite thing about this house is how comfortable the beds are and how sturdy the couch and kitchen furniture is! We love how close it is to our family cabin at the lake and the Dollar General!
