We really enjoyed our stay at Hannah’s property. The cottage was super clean, everything we needed was provided, and we’d definitely book the property again. Communication was great before our stay, and Hannah checked in once we were there to be sure we had gotten into the property and had all we needed. Great experience!

Beds super comfortable, shower pressure very good, blackout curtains worked perfectly, and a responsive host. Couldn't ask for more.

Thai house was so cute and nice. We was able to walk to a few places, like restaurants and the surrender house. There's a small downtown area to walk to. We were able to fish out back but it was a little difficult but it was great fishing. The fire pit was nice and relaxing. We'd definitely stay here again. Hannah, the owner, was super nice and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

It was very clean. Liked the WiFi and Netflix access.
The kitchen toaster was somewhat broken, so we didn't really use it. Also the kitchen knives were not very sharp. All else was very clean. We brought our own personal Keurig coffee maker.

This is a quaint little cottage in a great location. Very quiet, conveniently located in the city of Dover. Several amenities, coffee maker, washer & dryer, microwave. Cute little back patio with a great view of the river. Lots of wildlife. The beds were super comfortable. I will definitely be back the next time I travel to this area. Host was wonderful and available to answer all questions and concerns. I highly recommend staying here.

With having family living away from a large city, this is the 2nd stay at this house and i wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
The cottage sit off the main streets in town but close to everything you might need with restaurants, little shops, the Land Between the Lakes just an short distance, civil war battlegrounds with cemetery, surrender hotel still standing (just 3 or 4 houses away and with a inlet at your back yard/deck.

My husband and I spent a week at this lovely cottage. The location was amazing with food options within easy walking distance. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place with easy access to Land Between the Lakes, Fort Donelson and Dover.

My grandson (almost 3 yo) called it the blue house. We truly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials. The cottage was clean, very cozy. We didn't spend a lot of time at house as we were in Dover for a family reunion. We will be back to Dover next year and we certainly hope this cottage is available.
Hannah the hostess is really great to work with. Definitely a great place to stay.

Unplug and get away
The house was beautiful and the yard goes right to the river. Very peaceful and relaxing. Our host was quick to respond when needed. The town is small but packs a lot of history. Would definitely stay here again.

We really lucked out with the availability of the waterfront cottage. I wish I could give it 10 stars. The property was exactly as depicted in the pictures and was everything you could ask for: clean, comfortable, well stocked. Hannah made check-in and access seamless. In the middle of a heatwave, the air conditioning was the icing on the cake! Hope to come back again.

A little home away from home. Grandkids loved fishing in the river. Historical sites all around. Definitely would like to do it again!!!

Quaint, cozy, and homey! Absolutely, one of the cleanest VRBO's I have stayed in. I felt very secure and comfortable being there by myself. The bed was so perfect for a good night's sleep. If I ever have to come back to Dover for business, I will most definitely ask Hannah for another night's stay!!! I loved it!

We visit our parents 3 to 4 times a year and this lovely home has become our home away from home . We just love it, quite, clean and just the right size for us. This was our first trip in the summer and we loved to sit on the back porch in the morning and have our coffee and look at the river - beautiful and peaceful!

Just a note, it says TV and there is a TV there, however it is not hooked up to a antenna and no cable, there is no way to watch anything local or live TV...owner said go to YouTube and search for a major TV Station...but it wanted us to set up an account...they did offer Netflix, but we just wanted to come in of an evening and watch TV...not a movie....this was a huge letdown for us...it said TV in the listing but we didn’t get cable or live TV at all.
Also the Pots and Pans to cook in were really old and scratched up and nasty...they did leave us a scotch pad to clean with but it was used and dirty as well.
We were on a vacation and they also required us to strip the beds and start washing them for them, never have we had to do this when we have paid to stay somewhere.
I did give the rating 4 stars mainly because the house was ok and the location was great for our trip....just had some of these items made it kind of disappointing.

Felt like home away from home, super cozy and peaceful. Would definitely recommend this property if your coming to the area and if we were to stay in Dover again, it would be first on my list. Hannah is a great communicator and always there to assist.

Hannah makes sure your stay is everything you could hope for. We had issues the first night with the tub draining, and the next day it was fixed! We were able to do laundry and dishes as needed, which was nice. The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!!

We enjoyed our stay and Hannah was helpful. It's a bit noisy right off a busier area and the neighbors have a dog barking insesently. But we tried to not let it bother us to much!
