We had a great stay at the Finder's Cottage! After searching for a hotel room and not finding any that were available for a reasonable price in town, we turned to VRBO. This cabin is in a PERFECT location for going to the diamond mine. Friends of ours were also in town for diamond hunting, but they were several miles away on the other side of town. Our location was, by far, the better location. Not to mention the fact that we spent half of what they spent on their hotel. We had a 2 minute drive to the park each day which was perfect. The cabin is cozy and comfortable and even has wifi (While wifi is great, I wasn't expecting it.) It's right on the main road that goes to the mine, but it's set back a bit and feels very secluded and private, even though there are other homes around. Check in and check out were super easy - we never even met the owner. It was probably the most unobtrusive place I've ever stayed at. It's also in a really great location for anything that you need in town. It only took us a couple of minutes to get to restaurants for dinner each night.

My only complaint is about the shower. The water heater in the cabin was really small, and the hot water only lasted for about 5 minutes. I'm sure this is fine for some people but I haven't yet mastered the art of the 5 minute shower. Since the weather was almost unbearably hot while we were there, cold showers weren't too traumatic but I can imagine not liking that if we were to visit in the winter. So a larger water heater or a tankless water heater would be my only suggestion for improvements. This would definitely be a 5 star review if the hot water lasted long enough for 2 people to take 10 minute showers. I'm only mentioning it in the review because it's probably something that can be a deciding factor to some people. Otherwise this is a great place to stay. The price is right. The location is perfect. The cabin is comfortable and cozy. We will definitely stay here again if we are ever back in Murfreesboro!
