Beautiful place, Ellen was helpful and gracious. The Corgis were an added bonus; however, the home is listed as riverside an it is not. The home is situated near the river but it's a few minute walk to get to it. It can't be seen from the house. Other than that, it's a really nice place.

Cute cottage
This cottage, adjacent to a family home, was perfect for our weekend away. Owners were on top of everything and added homey touches like fresh flowers. Only drawback is that both bedroom doors are glass-fronted, which is not great for light or privacy. That's my only complaint, and that's very small, but might be a dealbreaker for some.

Beautiful property.
We took part in our annual event at Crystal Mountain and this location was perfect. One minute down the road from Crystal's entrance. The owners were extremely friendly and communicative, the property was beautiful, very quiet and the corgi welcoming committee was greatly appreciated.

Crystal Mountain getaway
The cottage was in a perfect location to get to Crystal Mountain. The cottage was just as advertised. Very clean and we got morning greetings from the corgis on the property who would come say hi at our door. Ellen was very responsive and gladly brought over some cooking supplies so we could make food in the cottage. We’ll definitely be looking for the cottage next time we come to town!
