'Lil Red Hen' Cottage in the Boone Area w/ Hot Tub

Reviews

• Little Red Hen

  3/5

  - AC units in neither of the downstairs bedrooms worked properly

  - No indication that the property was so close to a major highway, in fact the pictures gave the feeling of being more out in the country

  - The hot-tub had dead leaves on the bottom. Not sure if they were left from the previous tenants or someone local had used it.

  Hi Mark, we want our guests to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing stay, so we’re sorry to hear about these concerns. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  
  -The hot tub was cleaned the day before your arrival, but debris like leaves can sometimes be blown in by heavy wind. If you had reached out, we could have arranged for the hot tub to be cleared during your stay.
  -The home is set back about 1,000 feet from the road.
  -The A/C units should be functioning correctly, and we would have been happy to address any issues if we had been notified.
  
  Thanks for taking the time to leave your review!

• Wonderful Place to Stay with Family!

  5/5

  This was our 2nd time staying here and we just absolutely love it! Gives our family that time to relax and reset. There's a place for all to have their own space but also have family time as well.

• Very good host

• Cool historic house, but dirty

  2/5

  Check in was simple. Beds were soft as was the living room furniture. However, when checking in we were greeted with a pair of women's under wear in the washing machine and a dishwasher full of dirty dishes. The bedroom with the king size bed has a strong mildew smell and the bedding seems to get damp throughout the day, so you get to sleep in a moist bed. Also worth noting the upstairs shower heads were not working or we were unable to figure out turning them on. Also the hot water in one of the upstairs sinks was not working. They did have a wii with games and a DVD player with movies, but they wouldn't work as neither was plugged in and wires were all tangled up. Would not stay here again.

  Hi Patrick, we passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following: We do our very best to uphold high standards of hospitality for our property and provide all of our guests with an exceptional experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
  - We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced, and we hold high expectations for the quality of our cleaning service. If there were any issues, we wish we had been informed so we could have immediately resolved them during your stay.
  - We value the cleanliness and condition of our home and we're sorry if any odor impacted your stay. We are unsure as to why there might have been an odor in the downstairs room, as we make use of a humidifier to maintain a fresh environment.
  We truly do all we can to deliver an extraordinary stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

• Peaceful Retreat

  5/5

  Had an absolutely wonderful stay, home was clean and quaint with a peaceful setting. So much room and the rooms were perfect and 3.5 baths was a blessing! Walmart, Starbucks, and gas stations right up the road without any feeling of being in town. Loved drinking coffee on the porch in the morning and finishing the day with a dip in the hot tub at night. We brought our dogs as well and they loved playing in the creek and exploring with us. Would definitely stay again!!
