• Cozy and quiet.

  4/5

  The property itself was clean and in good working order. Check in was easy. Ample linens, silverware, cleaning supplies and dried wood available onsite. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the bunk beds, loft area, outdoor rocking chairs and fire pit. There’s no freezer, oven, or formal dining area. The one coffee table needs replaced. It has a really heavy marble top that lays, unsecured on top of a flimsy wooden base. My husband bumped it with his knee and the whole top slid off. So just watch your toes.

  The area is a more suburban feel than I would have liked. The neighbors were quiet and friendly though, and many of the homes immediately surrounding the property appeared to be vacate at the time we were there. If you go on a busy weekend, it is possible you’ll be surrounded on all sides.

  The pool was a quick walk down the road but was really a disappointment. The whole area was run down. Overgrown weeds. Mouse droppings on the kitchen floor of the “beach house”. The smell of mold and mildew. The water seemed to be treated, and there were inflatables available, but the pool was littered with leaves, dirt, bugs and the peeling paint of the floor. We tried to clean it up and make the best of it. The bathroom facilities there worked at least but had no extra stocked soap or toilet paper. I wouldn’t say it’s an asset to this property.

  Not bad in all. It was cozy and my 3 year old still asks to go back lol.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Patricia, the homeowner was surprised to read your review, as they're accustomed to providing excellent guest experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
  - We wish you had reached out to us during your stay so we could’ve promptly addressed your concerns for a most comfortable stay.
  - The pool is managed by the Laurel Mountain Pool Community HOA and is regularly cleaned and tested for safety. There may have been some debris from a storm, which would have been promptly addressed. The pool was not closed during your stay, which indicates it met safety standards.
  - We use high-quality Beauty Rest mattresses in our properties, which are designed to suit a wide range of preferences. While we understand mattress firmness is subjective, we do provide mattress toppers for guests who prefer a softer feel. We regularly rotate the mattresses at least once a year to maintain their comfort.
  - The dining area features a beautiful marble-top, mahogany-base table, as shown in our recent professional photos on the listing. If there were any concerns, we would've addressed them immediately if contacted.
  - The ice maker has been in the cottage for about five years and is easy to clean and consistently maintained. We're planning to replace the current mini-fridge with a model that has a built-in ice maker to provide guests with more counter space.
  We work hard to provide a wonderful stay for all visitors and look forward to hosting many satisfied guests.

• Peace and quiet.

  Very peaceful setting. Unit was very nice. Tastefully decorated. The only thing I wish it had was a full size fridge. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
