Where should we start?
This place is a hidden gem.. beautiful house, very clean with all you may need and more.
We didn’t want to leave!
It has all you need to both relax and keep yourself busy with nice hikes and walks among the trees.
It’ s perfectly located away from the noises.
We had a great time, while leaving we started to look up available dates for the summer!
Thank you for hosting us!

Thank you for a lovely stay!
This was the second time we’ve stayed here, and we were not disappointed!
What a beautiful place. It feels like home when you arrive – clean, and very comfortable.
The surroundings are gorgeous and the hot tub early in the morning or evening is not to be missed!
Always helpful and responsive- it’s easy to choose to stay here.

I never left an Airbnb and said: “I would come back here.” But this place is magical. I came here during the middle of the winter and we had a blast. Can’t wait to come back here in the summer. I had coffee in the morning in front of private pond and never felt so much serenity. There is even a private hiking trail in the back of the house. You can tell that the owners have thought about every single detail and put so much care into creating a unique experience. What a hidden gem.

Our group had a wonderful time at this property. The check in and check out was fairly easy. The land itself was great for walking. They had everything we could need for supplies in the kitchen. Great wood stove (with wood on site) and living room area for movies and hang outs. WiFi can go out but it’s easy to reset. Hot tub was great. Clean new and large. Overall would definitely book again.

I loved my stay at this cabin! The cabin was nestled in the woods overlooking a beautiful private pond. You can hear water running from the creek as you walk around the property which was so peaceful. Also, Red Cottage was very responsive and extremely easy to communicate. I would definitely stay here again!

“I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. The house is nestled on a beautiful, private property, and the amenities exceeded my expectations. The well-stocked kitchen with a variety of utensils, pots, and pans made meal preparation a breeze. Additionally, its convenient location, not too far from grocery stores, was a definite plus. I highly recommend this Airbnb for a relaxing and comfortable getaway.

This is a beautiful, peaceful place. It’s perfect for a relaxing getaway if you need to just unplug and rest. The area is not bustling with things to do beyond communing with yourself and nature, which was totally fine with us. We enjoyed the pretty landscape, abundant wildlife, and the absolute darkness of night.
The climate controls for inside the house is not particularly self-explanatory, but once you figure it out, it’s fine. Just something for guests to be aware of.
Red Cottage was exactly what we needed to retreat, refresh, and rejuvenate!

Great king weekend getaway. Quiet, completely secluded. Loving to have morning coffee sitting in front of your own private pond. Nothing but nature.
House is just as described, exactly as the pictures show. Must be beautiful after a snow fall.

The pictures do not do this place justice – it is beautiful. The house is roomy and comfortable. The property is private and peaceful. We had a great time walking around outside with our two dogs who enjoyed being off leash and swimming in the pond. We had a couple of minor issues, but management addressed them promptly and courteously. Definitely recommend!

Host was very helpful and responsive. The cottage was cozy and the interior well decorated. There was much to do at home with the abundance of books, board games, and movies. Walmart was a short drive away which was very convenient.

What a beautiful stay.
The house is beautiful, clean, and well organized, with clear attention to details to make your stay comfortable.
The property is quiet and was a great place to sit by the fire and watch the snow fall.
Our hosts checked to make sure we had arrived and were taken care of, and were generous to let us stay a couple of hours later to accommodate our schedules.
We can’t wait to bring our family back!

Charming, cozy and eclectic cottage tucked away in a serene wooded area surrounded by creek trails and a pond.
This is a truly special place for short or long getaways that will awaken many experiences, both inner and outer. My partner and dog had such a lovely week here, and look forward to staying again for an extended time. The house is seamlessly integrated with its surroundings, making it feel like a personal nature playground. For those that are extra curious explorers, if you walk down the road to the right you will find a hidden path that opens up to the nearby reservoir on the left side of the road. BEAUTIFUL.
The design of the house is rustic eclectic with mid-century accents and familial touches that instantly make you feel at home. We especially loved the amount of light and vistas the high windows let it and the river stones integration. In the fall with all its colors and crisp air, even more. Nature all around 💚 we also appreciated how well equipped it is with with essentials plus some. I would say their accommodations can cater to all kinds of travelers, from couples, to remote workers, artists, families or even for an intimate wellness retreat. The location is fantastic because we are secluded in nature, yet only 15-30 mins away from small towns with local cultural flair or supply runs, or likewise 20-60 mins way to nearby state parks, waterfalls and hiking trails. The drive there from the city was scenic and felt like a breeze.
For those of your with pets, you will especially love this place. I would encourage bringing natural tick protection of being on the lookout for them since they are an abundance of them around the wooded areas. It’s part of natural habitat. The house will also be greeted by ladybug friends from time to time , coming in the send their good luck. We embraced it.
Hosts / Amanda is super responsive with communications, helpful and kind. Do check out their guide for some great recommendations and explore your own! Absolutely loved this stay, thank you for everything 🫶 this is a hidden gem ✨
