    Lovely Property. We enjoyed the delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies and the bed was wonderful. Would have loved a couple of extra pillows but otherwise an excellent stay!

    This is a great property! There’s a fire pit and axe throwing set up on property. Grocery store, antique shops, train depot, steakhouse, and diners within a half mile from the property. Also, quick access to Rich Mountain for hiking. Owners are great and go above & beyond for their guests! We will definitely be back for another visit!

    The pictures are deceiving about the size of the property. The cottages, which are lovely, are behind the main house on a large corner lot. There were not many places open to eat that we would have liked. The fire pit in back made for a very nice end to the day. The cottage we stayed in was pretty, with a large wrap around deck, very clean, lots of towels, soap, shampoo and coffee bar. There's a microwave and small fridge/freezer.

There were chocolate chip cookies waiting for me and the nicest classical music playing as I entered the space.

    Very cool property, close to everything and the neighborhood was nice. Only negative was the property endorsed the Skyline Cafe which is only a short walk. The service was horrible, we ordered an omelette for each of us and still did not have it after an hour. Other than that everything else was perfect.

    1.The location is perfect for zipping around town. 2. Our stay was a Friday and Saturday so we can not speak to the rest of the week but on Friday night trains rolled through town all night and seemed to enjoy laying on the train horn. The location is several blocks from the rail roads but none the less was disruptive. 3. The only reason we stopped short of a complete 5 star review is at some point in time the Riders Den where we personally stayed appears to have had a leak, the floor is soft in an area or two and there is a definite musty Oder that bothered our allergies. The rest of the grounds were just fine, we did not enter any other part of the establishment so can only speak to the riders den but I suspect the leak/water damage was unique to our room.
