It was very nice…the grounds, the animals, inside the cottage…the only thing was the trolley wasn’t in good condition to eat inside…the owner was nice enough to gather the sheeps so we could have a close up with them

It was an unexpected sweet little efficient place. We happened to come right after a storm. The owner was very accommodating even with us arriving a little early. There was a small fire pit outside. We collected as much debris from the storm and kept a nice fire going. It was a nice respite for us. Many kudos to the owners!

We, hubby, grandson, and I enjoyed our stay at “the cottage.” It was a safe place w/beautiful scenery. The bed was comfy, kitchen was fully stocked, and the coffee bar was nice addition since we all enjoy a “cup of brew.” Also, it was close proximity to Calera, Jemison, and Thorsby. We’ll definitely stay here again.

Beautiful scenery, quiet, and peaceful. The cottage was whimsical and had just what we needed to feel at home. The managers of the property were helpful, super friendly, and make checking in/out a breeze. You won't be disappointed! We will be back, and hopefully soon!
