    This is a cute and cozy house with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. The setting is beautiful and the house has everything you need. The Christmas decorations were a nice touch!

    The house and property are gorgeous, comfortable, and clean. However the outside hot tub jets did not work. The check in time is 3 pm but we were not allowed to check in until 4. Despite these two issues, our stay was wonderful and we do intend on booking another vacation here.

    The house is so cute, the land is beautiful, and the owners were very responsive. 10/10. We can’t recommend The Lil’ Red Hen Cottage enough!

    - AC units in neither of the downstairs bedrooms worked properly - No indication that the property was so close to a major highway, in fact the pictures gave the feeling of being more out in the country - The hot-tub had dead leaves on the bottom. Not sure if they were left from the previous tenants or someone local had used it.

    This was our 2nd time staying here and we just absolutely love it! Gives our family that time to relax and reset. There's a place for all to have their own space but also have family time as well.

    Had an absolutely wonderful stay, home was clean and quaint with a peaceful setting. So much room and the rooms were perfect and 3.5 baths was a blessing! Walmart, Starbucks, and gas stations right up the road without any feeling of being in town. Loved drinking coffee on the porch in the morning and finishing the day with a dip in the hot tub at night. We brought our dogs as well and they loved playing in the creek and exploring with us. Would definitely stay again!!

    Charming old farm house that is decorated nicely with a warm homey feeling. This home has no Mountain View, but does sit along a creek. If you don’t mind a view of the highway and wind blown trash along the creek. The hot tub was not working correctly, it had piles of dirt inside. The owner did send a repair man out, but it still had dirt in it the next day. A new cleaning crew is advised, dirty floors, bedding with dog hair, and dusty decor. The home has one working shower otherwise baths with hand held shower heads. The heating systems are challenging. Lighting the two old gas fireplaces were dangerous and difficult. We never did get one of the fireplaces working. This home has a lot of potential, but pricey for what you get. A big plus was its proximity to West Jefferson’s cute downtown and the local grocery store.
