Cottage holiday rentals in Appalachian Mountains

There’s so much attention to little details, you can tell the hosts put a lot of thought into the overall experience. The hot tub sits privately in the back yard right on the river, up the bank. The photos do not do it justice. It is very off the beaten path, in a good way, and the interior is a great for a couple looking to get away for a bit. Also Fallingwater is under an hour away!

refreshing and relaxing just what we needed. no major issues! hot tub was a big highlight

We recently stayed in Sarah’s beautiful cottage by the lake in Hale,MI over Memorial Day weekend.Its a very easy drive from Ann Arbor.This destination worthy cottage is beyond beautiful with Rustic and modern farm house feels! Everything at the cottage is thoughtfully and meticulously planned and you can see the labor of love of the owners at the property. The place is warm and inviting like and we had a wonderful time in this little slice of heaven with gorgeous views. Hot Tub was a bonus since the Temp was still in 50’s.Sarah was very kind and responsive through out our stay. You couldn’t ask for better Hosts!

Great quiet place to stay, we loved it

We had a great time! Everything that was shown in the pictures was accurate. The location from the lake was perfect, everything was a short drive away and the area was really nice!

Bob & Julie's they were excellent hosts! The house and property are beautiful! This place is one we would return to without hesitation. It was very clean and included everything needed in the kitchen at home cooking. Hot tub was awesome with amazing view on the lake. The wood burning fire pit was one of our favorites about the house. Highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a great place to stay. Would definitely stay again.

This place was amazing! It's so peaceful and beautiful. They had everything you could possibly need, including a tray of snacks and wine, and the blankets were so comfy! Everything was very clean, and the included kayak/paddle boat is a plus!

The place was so beautiful and clean and private despite owners being nearby and readily available. We arrived on my 60th birthday and there was on the table entering the cabin a Happy 60th Birthday welcome note on the chalk/dry erase board. Made me feel special! We had quite the rather funny experience with the hot tub. Let's say I felt like I was in Willy Wonka's Bubble Room!! I never laughed so hard 🫧🫧🤣😂. Jenny was quick to respond with a fix. We didn't use the paddle boards but fished from the shore and from the dock. Caught (and released plenty of bass (I got the biggest) and hubby got a huge catfish. Actually my hairdresser said they stayed here several years ago and she caught the large catfish too!! Anyway, we were so impressed on arrival that when I went online there was an extra night available before the next renter so we booked it with a couple hours after arrival!! Although it was rainy/stormy a couple times. Many amenities we didnt use, firepit/fireplace. I give👍👍!!

Great place for a quick stop on a trip to visit family. Super communicative and friendly. Would stay again!

We loved our stay! Everything was so beautiful and comforting. The string lights allowed us to not use the overhead lights which was very nice when the sun went down. The binder with things to do, see, & eat was an amazing cheat sheet to the area. Can’t wait to stay here again in the future!

My wife and I were looking for a relaxing, peaceful place to spend our wedding anniversary and John’s place more than delivered. The grounds were beautiful and the views were breathtaking. The house was clean and cosy with large windows for letting in the sunlight and fresh air. The sounds of the river were incredibly calming. Leave the white noise machine at home and let the river sing you to sleep! Our dog had plenty of room to run around the property and she loved daily visits to the river, as we did too. The nearby town had some nice restaurants that John recommended, the Heron being our favorite! We had everything we needed and plenty of accommodations were provided, but it was clear that if you needed anything, John would make it happen for you. We loved this place and would absolutely stay there in the future.

This place is a great gateway for a family with dogs. The pups loved it as much as us! Stunning views, extremely private and peaceful. The hosts were wonderful. I’d recommend this spot to anyone.

My husband and I had a fabulous time at Mallard Cottage!! It was exactly the retreat we needed from the stress of work. Andrew and Lindsey thought of everything and they were the most amazing hosts! There was so much to do at the cottage that we didn’t need to go anywhere else. We especially loved sitting in the sunroom and watching the water. We will definitely be back!!! Highly recommend this getaway!

It rained 4 of the 6 days we were here so spent a lot of extra time in the house and loved our experience. The area is beautiful, but what we most appreciated was the extras she had in the house. When travelling it is hard to pack the extra niceties, but there we lots of extras like bug spray, Band-Aids, books, puzzles, access to premium streaming channels, umbrella.

5 Stars - Exceptional Host and Stay! Kevin was a wonderful host—friendly, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. We especially appreciated his flexibility with our additional requests, which made our stay even more comfortable. The cottage is absolutely fantastic -beautifully maintained, cozy, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

Stay at FengQing's place was fantastic! Cozy cabin, beautiful farm and super friendly animals. I really enjoyed my "quiet time " in the beautiful chines pavilion on the pond . Property is very private and serene ,perfect for nature lovers. We can't wait to come back. Our host was quick to respond and very helpful

Sarah’s place was a wonderful stay on our trip to Shenandoah and the surround areas. It was nestled away within their apple orchid which allowed for a nice sense of peace. We would absolutely stay again and will be recommending to friends as well!

Would highly recommend this home! We had dinner both nights at Artemios Prime and Proper…very good food! We had a wonderful conversation with one of the owners at the end of our meal the first evening! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Upper Greenwood Lake area!

We had a great time on our second visit! We spent the time relaxing, hanging with the friendly animals, and walking around the property. They were also very helpful anytime we needed help or had questions!

If you’re considering a trip to the Cider House Cottage - DO IT! This is the perfect peaceful getaway. The surrounding land is beautiful with a lot to explore and the interior of the cottage is so cozy and inviting. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Stephanie goes above and beyond to create a tranquil space with notes on the history of the building and land to read about. We loved falling asleep to the peepers in the pond and waking up to the birds. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect from the world and re-connect with nature, this is it. Thanks Stephanie for a wonderful stay! We hope to be back again!

We had a short but sweet stay. The surroundings were beautiful and the host’s recommendations were spot on. We highly recommend visiting!

My husband and I wanted a quiet, laid-back honeymoon after the craziness of our wedding day (good crazy, of course), and Rachel’s cottage was exactly what we were looking for. The cottage itself is quaint and cozy in a quiet, remote area, with a very comfortable king-sized bed. Water pressure and temp were perfect. The cottage is centrally located between Montpelier, Stowe, and Burlington, so there was so much to do and explore. The tea and coffee Rachel provides is perfect to start your day on the deck overlooking the beautiful Vermont landscape. At night, you can hear the frogs, birds, and other animals surrounding the grounds of the cottage. I can’t overstate how beautiful the views are! Rachel was very attentive to our needs, and she graciously came to welcome us when we arrived. She also checked in with us during our stay to make sure we were comfortable and has everything we needed. We highly recommend!

Linda’s beach house is a real gem. The house is beautiful and clean. Has great views of the river and a large sand beach. I can’t wait to visit again

Well I can only add yet another wonderful review of this beautiful cottage! We absolutely loved our stay and didn’t want to leave. The cottage is stunning and is just like the photos. It is exquisitely furnished and very homely. The setting is simply stunning! We couldn’t believe the views we saw out of all the windows. It is so close to town and yet you find yourself in this amazing, peaceful location with cows grazing around you! Rebekah was a wonderful, helpful host. She patiently answered all my questions. We can’t wait to return.
