A Lovely Cottage Oasis in Bustling Memphis
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished it was longer. Our hosts couldn’t be nicer and more accommodating towards us. We were hours late due to eclipse traffic and they didn’t hesitate to wait on us for a late check-in. The cottage was outfitted with all we needed and then some. The location was so convenient to all that we wanted to see and do; we even enjoyed more attractions than planned, because of the close proximity. Thank you, Rhonda, for a perfectly wonderful pexperience!
