Thomasville Cottage Near The Big Oak & Downtown!

Reviews

• Adequate but not great

  3/5

  PROS: location is close to Broad Street shopping and dining. Reservation information and check-in process was easy. House had needed supplies. AC worked great. CONS: The only shower was a vintage style bathtub that required stepping over the side - not safe for older folks or those with mobility issues. The front door did not feel safe - several glass panels could easily be punched out to access the inside deadbolt and the flimsy curtain on the glass did not provide any privacy. Old floor vents were still in place and in one of the bedrooms we could actually see sunlight and through to the dirt ground outside. Furniture and finishes are a hodgepodge of thrift store finds and rough around the edges. Inside and outside needs a deep cleaning and is not consistent with the photos shown online. Overall, an adequate stay - everything worked and communication was fine - but cleanliness and safety concerns would prevent us from booking this location again.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Nance,
  the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  -Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that everyone's taste is different. However, we would like to clarify that the furnishings in the unit were carefully selected and purchased new from Wayfair, Home Goods, and Amazon. Additionally, some pieces are authentic antiques chosen to complement the Victorian period of the cottage.
  -We would like to mention that the presence of the tub is clearly shown in the pictures and described in the listing, which specifically states "must be able to step into the tub." While we understand that some guests may not prefer a soaking tub, others consider it a luxurious feature.
  -Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. We will check the furniture rearrangement and look into the vent that had been covered.
  Thank you for sharing your review. Your feedback assists us in understanding our guests' perspectives and improving wherever possible.

• Porch living! In Historic town

  5/5

  Great location! Walking distance to downtown- We love history and this wonderful town has great places to visit: museums - pebble hill plantation- Lapham Patterson house just to name a few. Thomasville also has phenomenal restaurants!!!

  Every morning we had coffee on the front porch with all the birds-and squirrels - so very peaceful! We are spoiled with our sleep number bed- however, we stayed for a week and got used to the beds and this sweet home is in a fabulous location to everything. We came for a wedding and stayed for the Rose Festival.

• So much character/great location

  5/5

  The cottage is decorated in an interesting mix of time periods with so many vintage finds. I kept finding new items each time I passed through a room! The kitchen was well appointed and updated. The soaking tub in the main bathroom, a dream! Downtown was in doable walking distance even for this older couple! We enjoyed the many shops, restaurants and wine bar. The beautiful large oak only a couple of blocks away. We enjoyed the man

  I loved our stay in the cottage. It was a great experience. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful. The cottage is close to town and anywhere else you’d like to go! We will be back next year!
