Allyson's review: 5 Stars
Amazing, beautiful, stunning! This house was the perfect spot for us to celebrate my birthday with family and friends. I’ve been coming to Cottonwood for 8 years now and this house is absolutely perfect.

Location: It is less than a 5 minute walk to Main Street where all the tasting rooms, shops and restaurants are. It’s located on a peaceful section of Main Street and we didn’t hear any street noise while at the house.

Amenities: this house is loaded up with things to do! Inside games, backyard games, TV, etc. We had plenty of things to keep us busy.

House: Absolutely gorgeous. It has three separate areas that are private. The bottom floor has two bedrooms, a kitchen, living area, dining room etc and the upstairs is a beautiful apartment style place with two bedrooms, kitchen and full bath also. The King suite is a really great space with a king bed, pull-out sofa, full bathroom, kitchenette and laundry. The beds were so comfortable and plenty of pillows were provided.

Will absolutely be returning again if we have a large party in Cottonwood.
