This was our first time staying at an airbnb and the experience was wonderful! We could not have asked for a better anniversary trip. Very romantic. An electric (we just used without the heat) fireplace in the living room and the bedroom?! The cottage was clean, homey, quiet and private. You are very close to town yet after an evening out or after some sightseeing you come "home" to an oasis. Sitting on the front porch on the swing or rocking in the rocking chair gave it an especially "southern" feel. I enjoyed my first glimpse of fireflies and cardinals. You felt like you were in a cabin in the woods, but minutes from town. Our host was very helpful and provided an "extra" touch. Communication was great and we were provided suggestions, information and instructions that we found helpful. This cottage made us ask "why would we stay in a hotel when we could stay here?" One quick note: Leave the porch light on if you will be out at night. It makes finding the driveway in the dark very easy.
