The cool Hollow house was an amazing place to spend the Fourth of July with our family. This is the second year in a row that we have come down and used this house. The furnishings are beautiful and we love the historic nature of the home. The river is incredible And I love sitting out by and having coffee each morning. Boonesborough is a great amenity and a lovely town in which to watch the fireworks. The host was fantastic and promptly responded to all questions in a friendly and thoughtful way. The house is clean and the furnishings were beautiful. We really felt like we were privileged to be staying there. Hopefully we’ll be back again next year!

The Cool Hollow house exceeded our expectations. The hosts were super responsive. The house was historic and beautiful. The yard and setting were just what we were looking for.
