Beautifully Decorated and Very Clean!

Wonderful house. Very spacious and decorated in such a cute fashion! Check in and check out we're both very smooth. The extra touches llke a personalized Graduation sign for our daughter were above and beyond what was expected. Water bottles, sparkling cider, and coffee were a welcome treat!

Charming and Welcoming

Pictures accurate. Clean and well equipped. We spent a lot of time at the house hanging out with family and having meals. Really enjoyed our stay. Nathan and DJ made sure we felt welcomed, even having ballpark snacks for us as they knew we were in town to watch my daughter games at McMurry.

Fabulous!

Everything about this house was just absolutely adorable. The attention to detail and all of the seating areas the collections the rooms that thread of teal all throughout was just awesome. The only thing that we would change would be to put in adult size toilets.

Wedding party attendees, including bride and mother of the bride.

When the four of us staying at Cottage Clare walked in we all immediately giggled delightfully. Three of us want to move into it permanently. The decorations are quirky, beautifully color coordinated and obviously done by someone who enjoyed making it all work. There are interesting things to see and explore but decorated in such a tasteful fun way. There is a cute trike on top of the fridge!! Besides the charming bones and timeless character, (it’s an older but well cared for home) the beautiful painted floors, the amazing colorful chandeliers, the house was very spacious but still cozy. Two of the beds are huge but all the beds were extremely comfortable. Julie took care of all our needs. She went above and beyond with such kindness and professionalism. Julie is by far the best manager I have dealt with at any vacay rental place. The house was stocked with everything anyone could need with plenty of back ups. I want to return, and often.
