"The cottage is absolutely adorable outside and inside! We had never been to the Carolinas so we very much appreciated the welcome book filled with valuable information about places to eat and fun outdoor activities! Everything was clean and cozy. The outdoor water feature had the most peaceful sound and was beautiful to look at. We plan to return again this summer and will definitely try to rent the same cottage again! "

"My sister, nephew and I had a very enjoyable time in the Author’s Cabin. The only drawback is that we were on a main road and traffic in the am was a distraction. The fireplace is very cozy and really heats the entire cabin. I would recommend it to anyone!"

"The furnishings were of good quality, and this could be a nice accommodation. However, the pictures did not fully represent the unit. The unit requires significant upkeep and a deep cleaning. Upon arrival at 6 PM, after a six-hour drive, we had to unload in 30-degree weather—only to find that I had to scrub the bathrooms before we could use them. The tub and floors were filthy. As both of us are disabled, this was an especially distressing experience. The bathroom towels were so thin they...
