****This a beautiful, secluded cottage deep in the woods along a creek.
Due to it's remote location, during extreme storms, it's not unusual to lose electrical power. Trees also can knock the public power system out when ground gets overly saturated. Usually the PPL can get it up and running in a couple hours of time.
It IS NOT the owners responsibility to make compensation in any way if the public power goes out.
Also, there will be exposure to insects and animals in this wooded environment.
If there are days of rain that cause any slight flooding,( yard) it is not the owners liability to control nature, it's part of the creekside adventure.
Being that the location is very close to Roaring creek, it places the cottage on the water table. After much rain the ground gets overly saturated and can cause a musty smell inside the cottage when first opening doors, It dissipates after allowing fresh air in.
This is a cottage rental and IS NOT a 24 hour on -call hotel facility.
If these are things that are deal breakers for you, this may NOT be the best rental option.
If.... AMAZING bright stars and interaction with nature are part of being in your world......
A creek trickling outside your front door...... .
IVY COTTAGE is a WONDERFUL place to be!

Beautiful sights & sounds of the creek during fall! I could sit outside all day here, or on the screened-in porch listening to the roaring creek if the weather doesn't hold up. Love it here. Close to farm markets and other activities. I think there might be a camp site close to the cabin now, we had a bit of a scare when we heard loud noises past 1 a.m. and saw flashlights in the woods beside the cabin. Enjoyed the upgrades to the fire pit area since last time. Bring extra blankets and towels to stay extra cozy!

DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU ARE SLIGHTLY SENSITIVE TO MOLD OR MILDEW
As soon as we opened the door to the cabin we were hit in the face with a poisonous cloud of mold and mildew spores. My wife had an asthma attack and had to sit in the car to catch her breath. We drove 8 hours to this cabin and wanted to try to make the best of it. So I opened all windows, emptied both of the dehumidifiers. Turned on the ceiling fan in the living room, exhaust fan in the bathroom, and we left to try to left the house clear out so we could spend the night. We came back several hours later and it was better, but still not great. So we tried to sleep and left in the morning. The bed was terrible and the air was bad so we didnt sleep much. We left first thing in the morning and drove back another 8 hours. Went straight to the hospital. My wife had to have two breathing treatments, steroids, IV, and antibiotics. She had never had a reaction like this before. It was very scary for her. The property is kind of run down and looks like it isn't really taken care of. Mold and mildew covering the outside of the house. The inside was nicely decorated. But the old books and what not probably dont help the mold and mildew issue. If mold and mildew isnt a problem for you, you'll probably have a good time. Otherwise stay clear and save your life.

Great place to unplug!
My husband and I stayed at Ivy Cottage for the weekend. Our purpose was to get away and reconnect. This location was perfect for that! There were no TVs, no WiFi so very little distractions. The cottage has everything we needed to relax for the weekend. The hot tub was a great way to relax even more. The creek was loud and lovely. My husband spent some time fly fishing in it. The only negatives would be the strong musty odor that was difficult to eliminate even with open windows and lots of air movement. I would also recommend a small AC unit in the bedroom. The living room AC unit does not cool off the bedroom enough to sleep comfortably. We slept in the pull out sofa instead to be cooler as we slept. We had a lovely time and mostly enjoyed the beauty of the outdoors and the extreme privacy. A lovely, unplugged weekend!
