This was our second time staying here. Great location overlooking the vineyard. It rained one night resulting in a beautiful rainbow over the vines. We had a wonderful stay and hope to be able to return.

This was a perfect home for us as we attended a family wedding nearby. Nicely updated interior and well stocked kitchen, although we only cooked breakfast here. Bottle of wine was a nice touch…would come again for sure!

We really enjoyed our stay and the property was better than the pics show. The owner was very helpful and recommended restaurants, as we were arriving on a holiday. Also, since our kids headed to ski and we didn't have a car - he hosted us for a wine tasting and even made arrangements including transport with neighboring winery so my wife and I had a very enjoyable day on our own.Highly recommend this property and you can reach out to him directly for future reservations.

We had a perfect stay. The home was lovely, comfortable and well appointed. Everything we could possibly need was supplied. Communication with Elliot was easy with fast responses. The view was beautiful. We hope to make this our regular destination for our annual trip to the area.

We visited to celebrate a family member's birthday with wine tasting around the area. Everything with the house was great -- it couldn't have been easier and the location was central to the wineries we wanted to visit. We enjoyed the multiple areas to sit outside with lovely views of the vineyards. The bottle of Busby Cellar's wine awaiting us when we arrived was much appreciated and we enjoyed visiting the Busby tasting room to meet our host.

The only recommendation is that another mirror be added.There is only 1 mirror located in the bathroom, for two bedrooms. Location is quiet with plenty of parking, towels, dishes and well equipped kitchen.

It was a very nice stay The vineyard setting was beautiful and the sunsets amazing I cleaned houses for a living so I look more deeply probably then most so dusting was needed, windows cleaned Overall all was good

I make most of my online purchase decisions based, largely, upon reviews and in the case of Vineyard View Cottage, that was exactly what I did and I was not disappointed! My wife and I stayed 3 nights for our first Thanksgiving away from home with my daughter and her husband, their two teenage boys and one other adult grandson. I wish we'd had a little less rain so we could explore the countryside a little more, but we did have a couple hours one day and took a nice long walk. It was great to be away from city life, traffic, etc. and we had a memorable Thanksgiving weekend. All the amenities listed were there and then some. I can't think of a thing we lacked. I highly recommend this terrific cottage for anyone needing a peaceful get-away. You will find it here!

The house is located on a knoll above the vineyards with a large covered front deck to enjoy your morning coffee or celebrate a beautiful sunset. The property is in wine country and close to other vineyards for ease of wine tasting or exploring the surrounding area. There are some restaurants in the area if you don’t feel like cooking or use the well equipped kitchen to whip up a meal. The cooking pans could use updating but everything else was spot on! The hosts were outstanding and easy to reach for questions or concerns. The checkin/out process was very easy and not complicated. They provided all the essentials and we very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you!!

Elliot was so helpful and got back to me very quickly. I highly recommend this rental. Its very clean and comfortable with a view over looking his vineyard. Judy P

We were in town for an event at the Ranch at Stoney Creek and some wine tasting in the area. The house was perfect for our family! It overlooked a beautiful vineyard and had a large yard for our grandsons to run around and play. The large front porch was also very nice for ending our day watching the sunset. We had plenty of nice towels, including beach towels if you venture out to the river or Suttons Creek. For groceries we would recommend Holiday Market. It’s about 10 minutes away and has a good selection. We really enjoyed our stay!

This is a basic but great rental. The mattresses are firm, but I like that, so I was very comfortable. The blinds close nice and tight so that you can sleep in without the sun waking you up. The home was spacious with a very functional kitchen and plenty of hot water for showers. The couches were comfy to hang out on in the evening. It’s close to all the Fair Play wineries and a Dollar General for any last minute things you might need. The only thing I would comment negatively on was the amount of dust and dirt on the blinds, window sills and in the corners. Not a huge deal, but the cleaning service should step up their game a bit. I’m sure the owner, Elliot, is paying them a decent amount, and he should get what he pays for. Overall, a fantastic place to stay while in the wine country. Next time, I’ll bring my dog with me. Thanks, Elliot!

Elliot and Sherry were wonderful hosts and facilitated our stay in so many ways. Home well equipped. They opened up the wine tasting for us, made check in and leaving easy, and helped us in getting a bit of exercise for our active dogs. Dog heaven country property. Close to a lot of wonderful wineries too.

This was truly a great place to stay. Very quiet environment with great views of the wooded countryside. The Fairplay wineries are all within reasonable driving distance and there's always Busby Cellars just steps away. Our group agreed that we will return.

We came to relax and do some wine tasting for our anniversary and this was the perfect spot to do it. The cottage was clean and comfortable and the hosts were so accommodating. Hanging out in the shade of the Oak trees and bar-b-que’ing on the deck with the most gorgeous sunset looking out on the vineyard was exactly what we needed. We really enjoyed wine tasting right on the property and learning about the wine making process. Thank you for the great weekend!

My daughter was getting married in Apple Hill so we needed a place to stay. The property exceeded our expectations. It’s lovely, comfortable and convenient to the wedding venue. We are looking forward to renting it again when we visit Apple Hill in the fall.

Thank you for welcoming my son and brand new daughter in law (they just got married and stayed a few days at the winery house). They said the property was beautiful and loved the fenced in backyard for their dog. They loved the welcome gift and appreciated the wonderful wine tasting experience as well!
