Wonderful

The location of this VRBO is good in that it is in West Jefferson, but it isn't what we consider walking distance to the town or restaurants (except for a Pizza place). It is beside a larger home on the property that wasn't rented when we were there. The grounds are lovely as it's up on a small hill. This place is a little hard to find in that you have to turn between a truck sales lot and another commercial property, with the road not easily apparent..until you enter the property. Follow the instructions that will be emailed. The garage apartment is newly renovated with nice new furniture. There are steps to get up to the entry and then another large step up to get into each of the bathroom, closet, and kitchen. (If you have knee problems, this isn't the place for you.) There's a nice deck that we enjoyed. We had some problems adjusting the mini split to our preference. The first day and night we were freezing and the next two rather warm. The company offered to come out but we weren't around when the message came in. Later they didn't answer. The kitchen has a lot of cooking pots/pans, a microwave, and a full size refrigerator. There were no pods for the Keurig coffee maker. That should be identified on the listing, as we brought ground coffee. There were very tiny chips of packaged soap, so we had to go out and buy a bar of soap as well. Overall it was a nice stay with a decent location, other than a few minor inconveniences.

Cute cottage!
My husband and I really liked this cottage. Its immaculate! The location is right outside of West Jefferson but you’ll take a private road up a hill and you feel very secluded. The bed was very comfortable with really nice linens and pillows. The larger house next door was unoccupied so not a sound from neighbors. Their are a couple of things to consider though.. The cottage has no over head covering not even a patio umbrella which we thought was weird because the bigger house actually has two covered porches. One night we had a nice fire in the fire pit and were getting ready to cook steaks on the (little) grill when it started pouring down rain we couldn’t even sit out side let alone cook! That was super disappointing! It rained for two days so we were stuck inside! Nice coffee machine but no coffee had to go to the store the first morning. All the doors need a shot of WD40.. super squeaky when one or the other person is sleeping. Dish towels would be great! And a screen on the doors so insects (bumble bees and wasps) 🐝 can’t just fly in! Lastly the kitchen window doesn’t lock so that too.. Hopefully they will make some small improvements to accommodate their guest! Otherwise great stay!

Romantic apartment
Apartment is beautifully decorated and close to downtown (about 1/2 mile). Very clean and in a quiet private area. Bed is very comfortable with nice linens. Only downsides are the wifi was very weak and mostly unusable, and the cleaning and other fees doubled the price of the room.
