We've stayed at plenty of rentals through the years with different experiences; this is one of the best properties we enjoy. From lovely fresh-cut flowers, a welcoming handwritten note accompanying a nice bottle of wine with background music playing, plenty of snacks and stocked fridge/pantry/cookware, comfortable beds, countryside setting and the wonderful scent of tea roses in front. We look forward to renting this place again when we come back soon; it is one of our most favorite places to stay and the hosts are very responsive and caring.

I have been a guest in a number of VRBO homes and have enjoyed each one. However, this host has gone over and beyond any previous rental we used. The cottage is decorated with an artist's touch. Everything set up for your comfort. The host was most thoughtful in stocking the pantry and fridge with items to make your stay so satisfying. The peace and quiet of the location is awesome. We loved our time at BlackBerry Roost and hope to return.

The owners of this cottage have thought out ever detail including every door knob, bed, light switch, blanket, piece of furniture, etc. From the moment you walk in you feel the relaxing comfort of this cottage. It was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend with friends. The fully functioning kitchen made cooking a breeze. It was even stocked with a few pantry items, drinks and all the coffee we needed for an amazing weekend! We enjoyed watching the cows in the neighboring field, from the back porch, and warmed up at the chimenea outdoor fire pit in the evening. Don't pass up the opportunity to escape to this little hidden gem!

We rented this place for a weekend while visiting family and friends, instead of staying in a hotel, and found it was the perfect place to get away from city - anytime! Our family and friends preferred to visit us here than anywhere else!
This is a spot where famous novels might be written, lifelong relationships secured, but definitely where the stars are actually seen at night! That was a requirement when renting. We felt as though we were in the country, but knew we were never far from anyplace we needed, including great restaurants and shops. Quiet! The exterior of this cozy place is beautiful from the start, and we could - and did - relax on the front and back porches many times. Once inside, we were immediately struck with the decor - the furnishings are gorgeous! The imagination that went into the furnishings is amazing. No spot was left unnoticed, and purposed! Fixtures repurposed, such as chandeliers and wall art gave us inspiration for our own home. Fridge stocked with anything you’d want to drink, and coffee flavors for anyone’s taste. You can see stars! Actually see constellations!
This is the perfect getaway spot, especially considering the cost and location! We’d pay twice for what we got! We will definitely visit again, just to get way!
