Cute quiet getaway

I booked this just so I could pet the donkeys. I'm from the area and just needed a quiet place to get some computer work done. This spot was great. Check in was easy, I Love that it was gated and the donkeys were a huge plus they were so cute.

Fun/Quaint/Tranquil

This vrbo was located in an area which was tranquil yet close to town. Our great grandson visited us for a few hours and thoroughly enjoyed feeding the donkeys 6# of carrots. Little things that made us feel comfortable and welcoming were the little welcome sign (chalkboard) and the mints. All the amenities of home and more. The bed was very comfortable. Would stay again when in town.

Wonderful place to stay

Everything was great for my stay. They made sure I knew where the EV charger was and I charged my car for my trip the next day. Everything was comfortable and quiet which is exactly what I needed! I loved the animals-they were adorable and living their best life! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Nice getaway

We had a great time staying at Claire's Cottage. The area was so quiet and peaceful. The home had plenty of room for our family of four and dog, with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Having an EV charger on the property was very convenient and our girls had a great time feeding the donkeys. Thanks for sharing your home!

About the host

Hosted by Claire Paquette

Host profile image
I am an older, stay-at-home, very busy mum. Besides school related activities I am busy looking after our many (rescued) animals; 4 dogs, 4 cats, 6 goats, 5 miniature donkeys, a horse and a mule. I have moved around a lot as my husband is a retired army officer and I am English by birth. I still love to travel when time permits only now its mostly closer to home. I have three children. My oldest is an ER nurse and no longer at home, a 18 year old son and a 12 year old daughter. As a family we love to stay active and involved in our community and attend most of our local events. You'd be surprised at all the fun activities the little town of Dothan puts on.
I feel I am a very open-minded person and I have brought my children up likewise. If you are different (or not) you will fit in very well here.

Why they chose this property

Our property is unique in that it is a green space that creates a park like atmosphere, just minutes from town. It is very secluded and private.
