A Wonderful Stay in Morehead
Storybook cottage was the perfect spot in Morehead. After several nights in hotels, it was so nice to arrive and have great accommodations with everything we might need. We enjoyed preparing breakfast and dinner after exploring the area during the day, eating on the screen porch and crashing in the comfy bed. Everything was perfect. Thanks!

Convenient and Comfortable
Enjoyed our second stay here! The house cools well in the warm summer days but we made good use of the fans provided and used our own as well.

A nice rest stop on our way to Tennessee.
Thank you J and Julia for opening your cozy cottage to our family. We had a great stay. Everything was neat and clean and well stocked. We felt right at home. Lots of things to explore in the area. Lots of hiking trails and waterfalls. Definitely head out to the "Jump Rock" if the weather is warm!

Exploring Morehead
We enjoyed our stay at Storybook Cottage. It was on a very convenient street downtown with in 5-10 minutes of very major attraction in town. The house has been update beautifully and great for our young family. The host were awesome checking in and making recommendations during our stay. The porch and backyard were great spots to let my kids play I would recommend this house and look forward to maybe staying again or recommending to family who visit the area.
