The house was clean, stocked with the essentials and has a beautiful piece of property. Even though it was in a residential area, it felt private and serene. LOVED the soft bed (guest room), the shower (amazing!) and the hot tub! I would definitely stay at this place again!

Carol was very attentive via messages. Calfkiller Cottage was comfortable very quiet and well appointed. We were visiting family who lived 1.2 miles away so the location suited us well. Great shower with great water pressure. We would stay there again.

Very cozy, clean, and comfortable. I didn't have time to use the Jacuzzi, unfortunately, but it looked well maintained like the rest of the house. The neighborhood is quiet, and the location is very convenient.I would definitely recommend this property.

Cute little house on a quiet street

We used the house mostly as a jumping off point for our adventures but we did manage to get some use out of the hot tub while we were there. It is within a short drive to a bunch of wayerfalls and hiking spots.

Took my kids to kayak to Burgess Falls and then stayed the night in Sparta. Wish we could have stayed longer. The house was nice and roomy and the kids enjoyed the hot tub.

Family visit

The house was clean and cozy. The yard needed some upkeep but there had also been a lot of rain. The location was close to our family we were visiting.

Great little house

Came to Sparta for family reunion. This place was perfect for my husband and I. Carol the host thought of so many small details that added to our comfort and convenience. Built in chargers in nightstands with cords! Flashlights in every room. Tons of towels and pillows. Coffee maker that could use Keurig cups or make a pot. Fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. Easy check-in and quick response to questions.

Eagle transport

We contacted the host prior to booking to discuss our unique situation. We were transporting an American bald eagle from OK to NC and needed an overnight stay. They were delighted to accommodate us (which was a huge relief)!The space was beautiful! Lots of room, all the amentities, located in a wooded area, bed was comfy and OMG .... the shower was heavenly!!! If you're driving a smaller car, parking in the drive is easy from the one-lane wide street. We were in our big truck, so we had to circle around the property and "4-wheel drive" it into the parking area (advised by host prior to arrival).Host was quick to reply to any questions and we (and Leroy) enjoyed our overnight stay in this quiet and beautiful place surrounded by trees.
