This cottage is airy and cute. Very clean. Perfect for a family. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, walking to nearby parks, and eating in the cool dining area. My kids said they wanted to live in the cottage forever! We will definitely be back.

The property was nice and close to downtown lakeside. We enjoyed our stay but feel that the gate fees should be posted in the listing. It's $35 dollars per person per day. Plus parking outside of the gate.It adds up if you stay several days. The link for fees is listed in the description but not clickable. Communication could have been better as well. Overall, beautiful community but not thrilled with the extra charges.

I did not want to leave this adorable cottage. It may be tiny, but it has everything you need to enjoy a simple stay in Lakeside. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the 3 different porches were perfect for enjoying the outdoors. My favorite part was being able to sit on the front porch and hear the music from Hoover Auditorium. I will definitely be back!

Very clean and organized. The beds are very comfortable and the 2 porches (especially the one off of the master bedroom) made it great for me and my daughter. I loved sitting up there with my coffee. Im so happy the tree is there too, to provide shade. The location is great, and the lists Gwen put together took the guesswork out of trying to find any supplies, as well as making checkout easy. I do wish the check-out time was later than 10 am. It just seemed a bit too early. 11 or noon would have worked better for us, especially since the fee paid at the gate gave us until 7 pm.

This was our 3rd stay at Spare Nichols. The house is clean and in a fantastic location! It was another great stay!

This property served our needs in a great location. Lakeside is peaceful and really beautiful. Very nice people.

We had a wonderful time in Lakeside for our first family vacation. We hope to make it a yearly tradition. Spare Nichols is a beautiful little cottage in the most perfect location. We can’t wait to go back again, hopefully next year.

An amazing place to stay. Spare Nichols is located in a prime spot to be able to get to everything quickly and has all the cleanliness and amenities you could want.
