Wonderful, well curated home. Grace goes above and beyond to make her guests experience perfect. Too many thoughtful touches to list. Great outdoor spaces for gathering. Lots of games. We highly recommend this property.
Our host went above and beyond to make our Thanksgiving reunion a treasured event! There were special treats for all, and they had gone all out to make sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to staying at the Nickel Cottage again!
We chose this location for our crew working on a job nearby. The host was amazing with communication and checking in with us to make sure our stay was comfortable. Our crew loved this location as they had the comforts of home while being on location.
