Easy access to the Hiwassee River, Ocoee River, the Cherokee National Forest. Chattanooga and Knoxville are 60 min away and Gatlinburg is 90 min away.

Epic Motorcycle Tripping

It was very comfy and just unique and homey. The fenced yard was a plus since we had a dog. The bed was comfy. I would stay there again should I be in the area.

Perfect place to stay while visiting family!

To preface this: there was an issue with my check-in. The host was very accommodating and very kind during this issue. She went above and beyond what I expected. The house itself was lovely and I would be happy to stay there again! It makes visiting family so easy as I have a dog that is a little complicated to say the least.

I appreciate the owner allowing pets. This is my primary search filter when looking for a property. With a fenced backyard, a deck and patio that were constructed to contain a pet, I couldn't be more pleased. It's clear the 1902 property has undergone some renovations, like a new HVAC system and second bathroom. That said, there is a faint smell in the house that I attributed to the home's age. I'm sure the owner has plans for additional projects, so do expect some 'older' features, but completely usable. The location was perfect for me as I have family in Etowah. I will say this property is head and shoulders above any hotel you may find in the area. Overall, I would stay in this property again when returning to visit family.

Vacation

The cottage was beautiful. Proximity to family was around a quarter mile away. Very clean and accessible. The driveway was a bit narrow for parking for a full size truck. Found a bunch of deck screws and nails on the back deck and driveway. Thankfully I had my shoes on ended up with a nail in the in my shoe. Overall a very pleasant experience and would definitely vacation there again next year

Quaint little place in Etowah

We were in town a couple days and found this option for our family to be just what we needed. We especially appreciated that it was pet friendly as we had our two dogs with us. The fenced yard was especially appreciated to allow our pups some room to run and play. The kitchen was well stocked with all the things needed to prepare meals. It was nice to have two bathrooms as well. The front porch having a gate to help keep our dogs in was also great to have.

Feels Like Home

Perfect place to stay for out of town visitors. Tidy, well appointed, comfortable. Wifi was great, even for bandwidth hogging remote work. Great water pressure and quality in tub and showers. RO filtered water for drinking. Pet friendly and Clean. Great backyard and thoughtfully curated area guide. We were in town for a very tough week, and I could not have asked for a nicer space to come back to in the evening. I look forward to returning soon for a vacation!

Best Little House in Town

A great little get away home. The house is comfortable and quaint. Two king beds (very comfortable mattress) for the adults and 2 fold up cots for the kids.
