Great house with a cool history.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Carriage House (a genuinely refurbished old 19th century carriage house). The owners were attentive and supplied everything we needed. The house was super with a fresh remodel but retaining its historical charm.

Great stay
House was very clean, air conditioning was good and cold, and the kitchen had all the necessities and then some. The only slight drawback was that you have to walk through one of the upstairs sleeping areas in order to get to the other true bedrooms. I would highly recommend this house during your next stay in Fairmont!

Great Jem polished back to a shine
We had great communication with the home owners. When we walked into the home it is a great experience. They have done a great job with decorating. The home has been remodeled with keeping what was special with this house. They modernized a lot of fixtures but kept the feel of the history of the house. They had snacks and drinks for us if we needed. They also had stuff in the showers, extra toothbrushes and paste if needed. Very nice gestures for those that may have forgotten thiers.If in Fairmount I would highly recommend this rental.

Girl's weekend success
Thank you for providing such a wonderful home for our trip at such a reasonable price. I can't think of one thing that the place was missing - there were even snacks and bottles of water in the fridge! We appreciated the list of places to eat as well. Everything in the house was updated, modern and clean. Other reviews mention that parking was difficult or confusing, but in your email prior to arrival I thought that you made it very clear where to park and we didn't have any trouble figuring it out. I wanted to thank you for the easy check out process as well. Other places we have stayed have long lists of things to do upon departure but your requirements were simple (as most people expect when there are cleaning fees added to the bill). The town of Fairmont was fun to explore with my mom, sisters and daughter - if I come back I would definitely stay at your place!

Wonderful, cozy space
What a cozy and welcoming space! All 3 generations on our girls weekend enjoyed the home and all it has to offer. Having three finished levels; all clean, beautifully decorated, and functional, allowed for little ones to nap while others caught up. The tv in the kitchen was a hit and kept the littles in one spot while they ate. There was nothing we didn’t love about our stay. We would definitely stay again!
