Magical Mountain Cottage

House was not very clean and fireplace was not usable.

Beds were comfortable, We had two big roaches and a number of small bugs that we had to kill. Main bathroom and small bedroom had cat pee smell after the cleaning product sent went away. Lots of dust and webs in the corners where wires were piled up after disconnected. Kitchen was very nice had what we needed. Living room comfortable. Fire place could not be used because it used to much propane and was hard to light per Ruth. Had a few leaks on screened porch roof. Eves were dirty and had webs. Handrail to front door rotten and unstable, knob on top came off. My disabled husband actually fell when he tried to steady himself going up the stairs. He was very tired after a 7 hour trip there. Ruth and her husband came to help me get him up. All they said was the house is really old. They do not text. Host should state that on their contact info. I sent a few text with no reply. I had to reach her through the Vrbo site. She did give a phone number but did not state it was just a landline. The walk way to the back steps has green moss on the path stones that gets slippery when it rains. The garage was nice to use. Tight turn to entrance and leaving. Could be a beautiful place if some work was done on it. All and all it was a nice stay. Just expected it to be clean and everything useable for the price paid.

Very nice place!

Lovely cottage, the photos don’t do it justice. It’s enchanting. Quiet secluded area. Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.

This could be a very beautiful place to stay. Unfortunately, the woman who controls this property has a very dark energy and behaves in mean-spirited ways. When I arrived at the house, I noted it was very dirty. The floors, windows and screens were absolutely filthy, as were the porches, which were filled with dirt and mold. There were foul smells in every closet and certain portions of the house also had bad smells. Although the woman's husband is kind and tries to be helpful, his wife makes it impossible for anyone to feel comfortable in the house and on the property. She is a nasty person. I should let people know that this woman has a distorted belief that people will not leave the house when she wants them to. So she cuts off the internet on her tenants thinking this will ensure their departure. She did this to me during the last 5 days of my stay, and also to the tenant before me (and perhaps others?). She made it unbelievably challenging for me to do my work and communicate during the transition away from that house and added absurd levels of stress that should not have happened. On top of this, I had paid her cash for the internet service!!!! This is not something I should not have had to do since it was supposed to be included in the price. The female owner of this property is not a nice person (I would even call her evil) and I highly recommend people avoid this place for that reason.

Wonderful host and comfortable house with beautiful gardens on a quiet street. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you

Propery is delightful...Ron & Ruth are warm & kind, & very quick to meet any needs that pop up. They are just downright good people! They also know where to eat in Franklin. 3 places they recommended were perfection.. House was inviting and lovely inside & out. I had an extended stay so enjoyed the flowing beauty of the gardens over several weeks...So thankful for my time there...

We visited this property for thanksgiving weekend. Home was very clean and comfortable. It had the rare vacation home comfortable beds and plenty of room in the kitchen.

A great location to visit

I was sad that it was cold when we went or I would have spent more time outside. It was a very nice and cozy place. The owner was nice and quickly brought us a cookie sheet when we couldnt find one. It was quiet and relaxing and I love that my dog was able to come along.
