The Retro Rambler

AnnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My friend and I stayed here for a birthday getaway, and it was absolutely perfect! The place was cute, clean, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing weekend. The host was incredibly accommodating—letting us check in early and sharing awesome recommendations for hiking spots and local food. There were so many thoughtful touches throughout the home that made us feel welcome and comfortable. We’re already planning to come back in the fall to do it all over again!

The Cozy Cottage of Gowrie

JeremyRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Great place overall. Kathleen even set up a space heater in the basement before we arrived since it was colder in the basement to help keep it comfortable. The only thing that could have been better was that the check out instructions said to load the dishwasher, which we did but it looked like there were some dishes already there and I wasn't if they were clean or dirty. Fortunately there was room for our dishes, but it would have been nice to just have an empty dishwasher when we got there. I would stay there again.
