Outdated and uncomfortable
Didnt expect luxury but did expect comfort. Beds were very uncomfortable. Pillows were lumpy and wore out. All the towels smelled mildewed. The chair/recliner was broken and could nit be pulled out from the wall. The couch was old and very uncomfortable. The bathroom toliet and tub made bubble sounds when the washer or dishwasher were running. Also u can barely see any of the lake from the porch but the donkey and horse did still make sitting outside peaceful. The place was clean for the most part but wouldnt recommend if u want to chill out in the living room or sleep in a comfortable bed. Also bring ur own pillows and towels...

I apologize that you did not find your stay enjoyable. I've listed everything in the property description. It is also NOT listed as lake view but across from the lake even though you can see the lake some from the property. The couch is less than 2 years old. The linens are washed thoroughly between each guest. Unfortunately, the guest did not follow house rules which are listed in the property description.

Almost Heaven
Cabin is quaint and clean. Provides most basic necessities needed. It was definitely better than staying in a hotel. Felt like home away from home. I loved the quiet and peaceful times I had there. We spent most of the time at the cabin sitting on the porch enjoying the animals and nature. I didn't go for a vacation, but it was definitely the exact setting I needed.

I apologize that you believe the sofa should be replaced. We did purchase it new last year. It is a sleeper sofa.

We came up for the ABT Championship and stayed 4 nights at the cabin. It was very peaceful and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was very close to several boat ramps. The donkey was also very welcoming 😊

Nice little and cozy cottage
The Host was so nice and helpful! The house is older but really nice. The view in the morning while swinging on the front porch drinking coffee was amazing! The ONLY thing I really didn't like was the squeaky older bed in the master and linens smelled like they might have been left in washer too long. I still would definitely stay there again though

Cute cottage with farm animals
The cottage is a cute little getaway out in the country away from everything and everyone. The satellite dish dropped a few times, so plan to rent a DVD or bring one if you need entertainment. The donkey, cat and horse were nice to watch, and the front porch swing is a delight. The bathroom is in the main bedroom, so make sure you feel comfortable with who ever comes with you.

Great for a solo getaway
It was just me staying at the property. It was a great place to stay. Check-in was a breeze and the property manager was wonderful. They even let me know that I could check in early. I just hung out at the house all weekend, but going from the brochures at the cabin, it was in a great place to see some of the most beautiful places in Alabama. Will definitely come back.

Great location.....
This location was amazing. Very close to hiking, rock climbing, swimming, boating, fishing and so much more! Leesburg is just 15 minutes for any grocery or material needs. I would recommend this cottage as a great home base for adventuring all day or simply relaxing in a private country setting! Stallings and Roberts Families enjoyed every moment and had a great Father's Day trip!

This was our second time staying here. We missed Kit and Peter, but our stay was just as enjoyable as the first. It's a plain country cottage, minimal traffic on the road, quiet, no internet, close to Yellow Creek Falls and Little River Canyon, very peaceful.

Bring your own !
We spent two nights while searching for a new home in the area. There was a television, but no channels-not even local tv and the videos were mostly for kids and the others were from decades ago. There wasn’t internet. The pans were dirty. The cottage was mostly clean and well stocked with bedding, towels and dishes.

We find it interesting that this guest makes an issue of the TV and Internet while staying at the cottage. During their visit there was a severe storm in our area and ALL TV was out off and on. In our web site information we say we have limited TV channels and NO Internet. The DVDs we provide are a mixture of films suitable for children and PG family videos, mostly of classic musicals. People are always welcome to bring their own if they wish. Pans are run through the dishwasher between guests but they are well used as we are booked solid most of the time. I'm sorry if this guest didn't find them acceptable.

This tiny house on a horse ranch is absolutely charming. The road it’s on is quiet. I would sit out on the front porch and watch the moon on Weiss Lake across the road. No houses between this cabin and the lake so a perfect view with the crickets chirping. Very peaceful and the host’s are wonderful as well.

You do not want to stay here.
Very unpleasant experience. This lady (owner) is rude and it is obvious she does not like kids. We were hardly there and 4 days after we left was told there was burn marks on table that had a table cloth on it. No way! Be careful! This lady just wants extra money after you leave.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 22, 2023
We are sorry that Ms. Greenwood is unhappy about being charged for damage done during their stay. In the more than 3 years we have been renting the cottage, this is the first time we have had to made a claim for damages. It gives us no pleasure to make a damage claim, but having the DVD player jammed so it had to be replaced, a burn on the table and deep scratches on a door, not to mention the very dirty condition in which the cottage was left was just too much! I might add that the tablecloth had clearly been off at times because there was glitter and play dough on the table surface as well as on the cottage floors. The tablecloth is always laundered between guests. We've had many families with children stay and have made every effort to provide them with suitable DVDs, invite them to meet our horses and give them treats. We are grandparents and thoroughly enjoy children and if you read the many compliments from our guests in the journal at the cottage I'm pretty sure you'll see that we are not rude. Even in these difficult times of the corona virus, visiting with our guests outside while social distancing gives us great pleasure.
