We've were amazed by Terresa from start finish. Her communication and the amount of detailed information she had provided regarding her beautiful cottage and even restaurant suggestions and places of interest, was over the top. If looking for an over the top place to stay , look no farther. No more searching for us, our next visit to the area will be at The Turtle Cottage.

What a gem!

I spent three nights in this quiet, little oasis and my experience was absolutely wonderful! The cottage was clean and well maintained and exactly as described in the listing. I used the property as a base camp to visit all the local springs during the day and loved their close proximity to the cottage, most within a couple minutes’ drive. The resort had a village-like atmosphere, with friendly neighbors out on their porches at night, enjoying the beautiful weather and waving hello. There is also the resort lodge within walking distance, with a little library for the avid reader. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a great night’s rest. The kitchen was well equipped with everything I needed. I also enjoyed the CD collection, which made for great listening while relaxing in the evenings. There was even a thoughtfully included a first aid kit, which came in handy for a small cut received from the day’s adventures. The property manager, Teresa, was friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay at the cottage and am looking forward to coming back again in the future!
