Happy Cow Cottage

The property was adorable but we did experience some challenges. The primary main floor bedroom had drawers/storage area that smelled like cat pee. There is a moisture problem. We saw black mold around the baseboards near the washing machine in the main bedroom, which may be the culprit on the odors. The shower also has not been property cleaned; orange mold was growing in the shower. Lastly the cooling units were unable to properly cool the cottage. We did communicate these items to the owner with pictures. We tried our best to return the unit better than we found it.

Best possible experience

First things first. In my 33 years on this earth I have never met property managers that go above and beyond like Seth did. Long story short we showed up late and had zero water because of the freeze. Seth was able to find us another property within 24 hours that was liveable for us and the kids. Also they refunded our first night for the trouble and even offered a cancelation for the problems. However, they slam dunked this deal. They set us up at another property and we were able to enjoy our Christmas in the mountains. The tiny homes are spotless, very clean and very inviting. We stayed in two of their properties so we're speaking for the property named Delilah as well. The happy cow cottage was very nice with antique fixtures and plenty of space for a tiny home. Check in was easy and you really felt at peace with the surroundings. It was awesome waking up and seeing the cow fields right out of the window. My kids thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and the set up at both locations. Delilah was very nice as well. Even had a dish washer which we appreciated. Everything felt new and it was so clean we felt like we were the first tenants knowing good and well we were not. Speaking on the property managers they gave us a list of things to do in the area to include locations and times, and even helped me find a grocery store on Christmas eve so I could stock pile for Christmas day. All in all I will 100% be reaching out to book with them in the future. I have never had such a great experience on VRBO before. We throurougly enjoyed staying in their tiny home. Seth and Emmy thank you for a great Christmas weekend.

About the host

Hosted by Seth and Emmye Wilson

Hi there!

Seth and Emmye are super hosts for local tiny home Air BnBs and VRBO's atop Lookout Mountain Georgia and Alabama. In 2018, we went on an adventure to scope out where we will plant our roots for our first stages of life. The Nest was the first tiny home we stayed in and made us fall in love with this area, community, and a new concept of living.

Emmye was hired as the sales and marketing manager for Little River Escape Tiny Home Community and wanted to create an opportunity for others around the world to experience this new way of life. Going tiny has been the most freeing journey. Our own personal tiny home has given us a new beginning, a home, and an unforgettable experience and life.

We hope to meet you when you stay in The Nest, the Cricket By The Creek, the East Fork Cottage, Where the Little River Runs, the Royal Iris, the Blueberry Bungalow, the Turtles Nest, Woody, the Crooked Tree Cabin, the Happy Cow Cottage, or Bella Vista since we also live right near all 11!

Have a peachy day ((:
- Seth and Emmye
