The property was exactly as listed and the host was very friendly, responsive and easy to work with. It's an older property but very well maintained. The squeaky hardwood floors add to the charm. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and there were a few staples in the fridge. The host seemed to think of everything. I think it's worth mentioning that there is no microwave and the ceiling fan in the bedrooms developed a tick during the night. Overall, we would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting this area.

We were very happy with our stay. It was nice to have the eggs and oatmeal for breakfast, it would’ve been nice to have bread for toast, but not a big deal. Also would’ve used a rubber spatula if there was one. But it was very clean, and the beds were comfortable, and the host was helpful and replied quickly.

Was a little difficult to find the entrance. Was not really thrilled to learn the one and only bathroom was IN one of the bedrooms - that should have been spelled out in the description. Was a sign not to change the thermostat setting, just open windows if it got too warm but when I tried to open windows they either wouldn’t open at all or would open but not stay up. Description said breakfast was included but didn’t find that to be so hot. There were eggs but no bread as the sign said. There was a little milk but was past the expiration date. The house was cute and clean but not very functional.

Sweet Retreat

Natural Nesting Grounds did not disappoint! Ashlie is an excellent host, making sure every detail for your stay is covered. We loved the place and the decor. It was quiet, clean, and a great place to relax while we visited the Boone area. We had a great night's sleep on a very comfy mattress and enjoyed the notes Ashlie posted around the place to communicate a friendly welcome and the instructions from the host were always clear. Ashlie got back to us every single time in a prompt manner. We recommend a lovely stay in this unique property.

Wedding weekend

This is a nice quiet cozy place to stay. We were in town for wedding activities and it was close to the venue. It was nice to come back and be able to relax. The bed was very comfortable so good sleeping was appreciated for the busy weekend. If ever in Boone again we would check availability again.

Great place to stay!

This was our first stay at a property. We were in town for our son's wedding. Everything was wonderful. House was very clean, well decorated and inviting. Loved the tall ceilings and french doors. Everything was so nice. Loved the special touches with chocolates in candy dish, blueberries for pancakes and special liquid hand soap. We would have loved to have had more time to spend there. Have already discussed returning for a weekend trip.

Quaintness and Quality galore

Our stay here turned a difficult trip into a peaceful journey. This beautiful cottage is cozy yet spacious. Every square foot thoughtful, gracious and welcoming. Ashlie has considered everything a person could possibly want/need for a peaceful getaway or weary travelers needing comfort and recharging. She is a host with a genuine heart of hospitality. If you are staying anywhere near Boone, Iowa don’t miss the opportunity to stay here. It’s not just a place to sleep but a destination to relax and savor.

Wonderful Stay - Highly Recommend!

I had the pleasure of staying at this lovely home, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The house itself is beautifully decorated with vintage furniture, giving it so much charm and character. The bed was incredibly comfortable and clean, ensuring a restful night's sleep after each day of activities. There were plenty of amenities that made the stay even more enjoyable. From the variety of coffees and teas to the cozy living spaces, everything was well thought out and provided. The host truly went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. She was so friendly and communicative! As a special touch, she even offered a free night’s stay on Christmas so I could enjoy more time with my family, which was incredibly generous.I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay. I would definitely return!
