We (My Partner, the Cat and I) booked this studio when our original vacation plans were interrupted by a work emergency. We picked this place mainly because she allowed cats (which we ended up getting a sitter for and not brining,) the location and the price. We live a couple towns over and were already familiar with the area but staying here reminded us why we love this little town. It’s a short walk to downtown Cottage Grove, Bonanza (hamburgers, slots, milkshakes) or if you like to bike there is miles of bike paths just outside of town. The studio itself is EXACTLY what is shown in the pictures and I really appreciate that. No edits or filters etc. It was already perfectly clean and tidy but if you’re the person who needs to do a once over for peace of mind there were wipes and disinfectant etc provided. Ok the things that made this place exactly what we needed and made us want to move in ;) The bed! White bedding, Super Comfy, laptop tray for over the bed, oooh I think I slept for an entire day because of that bed. Next, the laundry room/bathroom. Big, new washer and dryer with detergent, dryer balls, etc provided!! The bathroom and laundry are in the same room which is nice because it’s warm when you get out of the shower. It’s pretty big room you can have 2-3 people in there comfortably getting ready etc. Also provided were magical robes. Warm but spacious. Thick, like you’re wearing a hug. I think I spent another day sleeping in those red chairs and the robe. If you’re thinking I sleep a lot, yes, but also blackout curtains! Now to answer a question someone might have because we had this question too, is this your own place or is it attached to the house? It is on the same lot as the owners property but not attached. You have your own parking area which is on the other side of the yard but if you need to be any closer you could park on the street no problem. There is a walkway in between the owners home and the studio where you will need to walk to get to the door. We never once saw or heard from (well unless I wrote her with a question then she was quick to respond) the owner, Jessica. We know she was there but she did a really great job of giving us 100% privacy. There is also a private yard area for the studio she has a fence splitting the yard between her area and yours. So it’s private not the most private because she is right next door but again it was just like a neighbor we never saw, next door! Thank you Jessica!!! We loved it.
