We have been on another vacation rental site for over five years with over 325 5 star reviews! Our historic property, established in 1865, is very unique, as the front of the property is on the Main Street of Olivet - but the back part of the property, where The Cottage is located, abuts to 200 acres of beautiful private wooded land! Many of our guests report that they see lots of wildlife, including deer, racoons and bunnies - and even wild turkeys! They also often comment on hearing the beautiful bird song in the spring and summer months, as well as the crickets chirping in the backyard pond and the gentle sound of our backyard water fountain. So, we are in the city and in the country at the same time!
