Outstanding!!

We enjoyed the serene surroundings and quaint cottage.

Cozy place but a little far from town. We’re just used to staying closer in but we did get to see tons of deer! We had trouble with the tv remote but they fixed the problem in a timely manner. Also, the heat/ac wouldn’t work properly in the smaller house. Luckily, the weather was cool enough that we just slept with it off. It was a little chilly though. Nice, fun place. Very clean.

We loved NOT being in town and away from it all. Our favorite parts about the Grapetown Cottages were the porches and spending the mornings and early evenings outside eating, playing games and reading. Kids loved the swings and seeing goats and deer from neighbors property. My in-laws stayed in smaller cottage which was great so all had privacy but we ate all meals together. The grill was simple state park type with charcoal which we actually like…but i know others might prefer gas. House was well stocked with things we needed and bedding / linens were outstanding Cannot wait to return and stay again! The cons….and these are easy fixes but I feel I should mention. I’ve rented over 50 places over the past 15 years as a married couple and parent. The 15’ish page document that mgmt company had me sign with initials by every paragraph was ridiculous and overkill in my opinion. I fully support owners protecting themselves but better ways to do it. The renter signs off on many things when we pay via VRBO and I’m positive much of the mgmt companies extra document could go away and the homeowner would have simuliar protections. Or take a security deposit. Or present document before we pay in full. Mgmt Company also provided incorrect address and although real address was within a mile, it took us a couple miles of driving to fully realize address as provided did not exist and we had to get cell coverage to text mgmt company. And WIfI password should be easy for renters to find and should be accurate the first time provided to renter. Mgmt company was super fast to respond to these 2 items but easy to fix with better communications upfront. Finally, house needs 2 bbq tools as we couldn’t find them and basically used silverware while grilling. It worked but wanted to mention. Somebody may have walked off with them or they were hidden somewhere. The property is truly unique and gorgeous and the homeowners have done a fabulous job with the build, decor, etc.
