We enjoyed our 3 night stay so much that we only left to attend a wedding and couldn’t wait to get back. This fabulous home is perfectly preserved, professionally decorated and beautifully furnished. It is spotless and comfortable. I read the reviews and had high hopes. This exceeded my expectations.

Payne’s cottage is a magical spot. Absolutely had everything we needed. Getting to walk the beautiful property and go see the peacocks and goats and donkey and pigs (and cat) is just a delight. The outdoor areas are the perfect spot to start in the day. The hosts were very responsive. Look forward to being able to go and stay there again hopefully for a longer period of time.

The house is beautifully restored and well appointed. We did visit the animals and had great fun feeding the goats and pigs. If you're looking for a quiet retreat nestled in the bucolic scenery of the southern Appalachians, this is it! The kitchen is very well appointed. The living room is spacious and the beds are comfy and cozy.
