The cottage was clean, neat, and with subtle home-like decor, but no clutter. It is super quiet, and evenings around the firepit were a delight; easy access to Roan Mountain and the Tri-City area. We were greeted on arrival by a goodie basket and smores gear, left by our hosts; they also left goodies for our Golden Retriever, Boomer, and a personalized note wishing us a Happy Anniversary. I very much doubt that we could have picked a better place.
