Cozy 'Nonny Cottage' Near Appalachian Trail!

Reviews

• Looks are deceiving!

  3/5

  The cottage has a lot of positives, however we experienced multiple negatives.

  -The electrical service had some issues and there was no hot water. We let the property manager know upon arrival.

  - the next afternoon when they came to mow the very long grass they were able to get most of the lights working. The man mowing was unable to get the hot water heater to work and indicated they would have to call someone.

  -Pest control showed up while we were there!

  -We had no other contact with the property manager. Apparently they were not concerned about our lack of hot water for our entire 4 night stay.

  - The place was very hard to find, the backporch light did not work until the breaker was replaced.

  - My husband and I both missed the step coming off the raised platform on the deck and fell. My husband hurt his knee and my head hit the grill resulting in a very bloody gash to my head.

  -The refrigerator door does not seal properly and we had to find a prop to keep the door closed. And the kitchen ceiling fan and light did not work.

  -The 4 poster bed is ridiculously high and we did not sleep in it,

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Ruth, we take it seriously when guests let us know that we missed the mark, and after sending your feedback to the homeowner, they’d like to share the following:
  - The guest contact responded promptly to hot water issues. While they came to the property multiple times trying to get hot water, it required additional repair that could not be completed during your stay.
  - The pest control service was part of routine maintenance to ensure the property remains pest-free. They only treated the basement area to minimize any disruption.
  - We apologize for the difficulty you had in locating the property and the inconvenience caused by the back porch light.
  - There were electrical issues due to a recent lightning strike. The breaker box has since been replaced and all lights and fans are working.
  - We are sorry to hear about your fall and your husband's injury. The caretaker was informed about the missed step but not the injuries; otherwise, we would have tried to make it right during your stay.
  - The entire deck was recently replaced and meets safety standards.
  -The refrigerator has been inspected and replacements are being made.
  - We take pride in providing accurate representations of our property through professional photos. However, we understand that the antique four-poster bed may not suit all guests’ preferences, and will consider replacing it based on your feedback.
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

  Great place to stay!

  Clean,comfortable and very safe

  So quiet.

  Only suggestions I would make is putting in directions that you turn into Twin Pond Drive 😊 on the right.

  Took us a bit to figure that out!

  Hope we can be guest again in the near future.

  PS Diesel the dachshund our pup loved the yard and squirrels 🐿️

  He was very amused.

  Thank you!

• Peaceful get away!

  5/5

  This cottage was just what our family needed. It was very clean and so comfortable. The mountains are beautiful and there are a lot of outdoor activities. No wifi was a huge blessing for my family.

  The house is adorable. Every little comfort has been thought about and provided. From the couch to the bedding, it felt like a home.The outside is fabulous. Woods and a great firepit made the nights fun and full of laughter. We spent the days hiking the AT or enjoying a good book, that we found from the ample selection, on the shelves inside.There are no complaints, just thanks for such a wonderful stay.
