Best stay ever!
It will be hard to find a better vacation rental than this! This place is perfect. It was so clean, charming, and had absolutely everything we needed. Most of all we loved the quiet location and the pool!
I lived in Rome for many years and came back for the weekend. When I was looking for a place to stay and saw the name of the host, I knew this was the place. I knew Della previously and she is amazing and responded immediately to all of my questions. I assumed this place would be nice, but it exceeded all my expectations! This is a home… not some sparsely furnished hole in the wall. Everything was spotless, extra blankets and pillows, plenty of towels. All the switches are labeled so you know exactly what light/fan you are turning on! Just tons of extra touches. The outside setup is also amazing. The pool was crystal clear and ready to use. We had a great time and will definitely stay again.

Nice resting place for a busy weekend
We had such a lovely time at this charming house! The owner is incredibly thoughtful and kind. The beds are so comfy, and we're grateful for a cozy spot during the busy Ultimate Regional game weekend at Berry! Wish the weather was warmer so that we can enjoy the big pool in the backyard! Maybe next time!

Visiting Family
This was our second year staying at this location. Perfect size for the four adults and two kids under the age of four. Extremely comfortable beds, nice size bathrooms, and full kitchen make it easy to stay multiple days. Never been when the weather would allow for use of the pool, but being a pool owner myself, the setup is very nice and would be a great addition to the stay. Owners are very nice, reply quickly, and are easy to work with. Will look to book again in the future.

Excellent location and home
My family stayed here while in town for our son’s wedding. The location to downtown Rome was perfect and easy to get to quickly. The home was clean and had updated furniture and comfortable beds. Loved the porches both in front of the house and out back. The property was beautiful with all the trees and enjoyed the privacy too. Della was wonderful with communication! We hope to stay again next time we are in town!

Great Stay
We appreciated that the property was close to downtown Rome but in a country setting. Cleanliness and bed comfort are very important to us, and the cottage supplied both. Our friends enjoyed the swimming pool, which was very clean and inviting. The large covered parking area stopped us from getting wet on the one day it rained. Everything we needed was supplied. Della and Cindy are great hosts, and we would stay here again.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
This property is conveniently located near downtown Rome and close to Berry College. It was the perfect size for our party of 5. The back deck/patio was great for early morning coffee and afternoon get-togethers. Would definitely stay here again.

weekend getaway
We enjoyed our weekend. The house was clean and as pictured. It was well stocked with kitchen items and much appreciated coffee. The linens and towels were of good quality and the beds were comfortable. The porches and decks were nice for relaxing outdoors. It was convenient to town and we had a great time shopping and dining in Rome.

Perfect for Family
I can't say enough good things about the property. The owner was super nice and easy to work with, even went over to turn up the what so we wouldn't have to bring babies into a cooler house during the early morning hours. House was exactas pictures. Comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen and laundry room. Extra touches like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower. Couldn't use the pool because of cold weather, but the set up was amazing. Will definitely be back.
