Sweet, Cozy, Perfection!
This is our 2nd stay at the cottage and have loved both our visits! Carly is a wonderful host! She is very communicative and has thought of every little detail to make the home welcoming and comfortable. The cottage is also one of the cleanest properties I have rented, and there have been quite a few. The property is lovely, and much enjoyed by our pups! It is in a peaceful neighborhood that is very close to main thoroughfares and highways for easy touring of this beautiful area. I highly recommend the cottage! I know we’ll be back again!

A dog friendly gem
A great property. It was cozy, quiet and nice road to walk dog down. Big flower laden yard with great spots to sit. Nice large tv, comfortable beds. Good door lock. Felt safe, relaxed and close to Stillwater’s amazing downtown.

Great spot for a girls’ weekend!
From even before checking in, the communication with the owner was great. We were able to get into the beautiful property without any issues. Any questions during our stay were responded to very promptly. The home is absolutely adorable and was the perfect space for four adults. Close to Stillwater but we found that the No Neck Tony’s just down the road was our favorite spot! No issues getting transportation from Lyft/Uber in this area. Great easy checkout process. Would highly recommend!!

cozy cottage to unplug!
Perfect cozy cottage style home for a small family to unplug from life distractions for a few days. Very convenient location to other attractions. Quiet neighborhood. Comfy master bed. Only caution is strong air freshener and dryer sheet scents if you odor sensitivities. Host was very helpful, responsive to questions and helped make our stay the best for what we were looking for!
