Country Oasis

The property is beautiful and although the weather wasn’t ideal for our week stay, we enjoyed it very much. The quietness of a retreat and the creek with the wildlife airings was great. Easy location to many area attractions from farmer market to shopping. We highly recommend staying here!

This was the perfect place for our stay! A friend and I came in for a quick trip but we left hoping to stay here when we come back again. The place was clean and comfortable. We had the pleasure of bumping into the owner who was extremely friendly. We didn't have any issues but I imagine they would have been addressed quickly. It's a short walk to a couple good coffee spots (School Grounds, Ugly Mug N Grub), a great brewery with the nicest bartender (Good Buddies), and a bakery with absolutely delicious homemade biscuits (Laicee's Cakes and More). And Maker's Mark (our main destination) is a short drive up the road. We're already looking forward to our return to Ticky's Cottage!

I was here for a work trip and it was so much better than a hotel. Chris, the host, was accommodating and in constant communication about the status of the property. It's a big piece of land and the only thing bad I can say is it was rainy and I really couldn't enjoy the property to it's fullest, but I plan on going back for a leisure trip and I'd definitely stay there again.
