Great host!
We really enjoyed our stay at Hannah’s property. The cottage was super clean, everything we needed was provided, and we’d definitely book the property again. Communication was great before our stay, and Hannah checked in once we were there to be sure we had gotten into the property and had all we needed. Great experience!

Great little house near a lot
Thai house was so cute and nice. We was able to walk to a few places, like restaurants and the surrender house. There's a small downtown area to walk to. We were able to fish out back but it was a little difficult but it was great fishing. The fire pit was nice and relaxing. We'd definitely stay here again. Hannah, the owner, was super nice and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Nice place to stay
It was very clean. Liked the WiFi and Netflix access. The kitchen toaster was somewhat broken, so we didn't really use it. Also the kitchen knives were not very sharp. All else was very clean. We brought our own personal Keurig coffee maker.

Quaint little cottage
This is a quaint little cottage in a great location. Very quiet, conveniently located in the city of Dover. Several amenities, coffee maker, washer & dryer, microwave. Cute little back patio with a great view of the river. Lots of wildlife. The beds were super comfortable. I will definitely be back the next time I travel to this area. Host was wonderful and available to answer all questions and concerns. I highly recommend staying here.

Sweet little hideaway.
With having family living away from a large city, this is the 2nd stay at this house and i wouldn’t stay anywhere else. The cottage sit off the main streets in town but close to everything you might need with restaurants, little shops, the Land Between the Lakes just an short distance, civil war battlegrounds with cemetery, surrender hotel still standing (just 3 or 4 houses away and with a inlet at your back yard/deck.

The Blue House
My grandson (almost 3 yo) called it the blue house. We truly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials. The cottage was clean, very cozy. We didn't spend a lot of time at house as we were in Dover for a family reunion. We will be back to Dover next year and we certainly hope this cottage is available. Hannah the hostess is really great to work with. Definitely a great place to stay.

Perfect location and great view
The location in Dover was perfect, making easy to get to family members and has grocery store/ restaurants. The has a beautiful view of lake Barkley with a large back yard. The house is cozy little spot gun house with back deck. I will surely be looking at this place to stay on my next trip to see grandchildren.

Historical comfort
We really lucked out with the availability of the waterfront cottage. I wish I could give it 10 stars. The property was exactly as depicted in the pictures and was everything you could ask for: clean, comfortable, well stocked. Hannah made check-in and access seamless. In the middle of a heatwave, the air conditioning was the icing on the cake! Hope to come back again.
