In town for a family wedding
The hosts have done a very thorough and tasteful renovation of this property. It was very well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen supplies. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during a family wedding. It was a very good space for hosting a pre-wedding dinner and brunch the next morning. Thank you!

Comfy and homey
Is very cozy, the owners have put a lot of work into this home to make it a pleasurable stay. the history of this carriage home and the large white home are very interesting as well as other homes close by. Was nice to be back in Fairmont and drive around and see old memories of when we grew up in the area.

Great house with a cool history.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Carriage House (a genuinely refurbished old 19th century carriage house). The owners were attentive and supplied everything we needed. The house was super with a fresh remodel but retaining its historical charm.

Great stay
House was very clean, air conditioning was good and cold, and the kitchen had all the necessities and then some. The only slight drawback was that you have to walk through one of the upstairs sleeping areas in order to get to the other true bedrooms. I would highly recommend this house during your next stay in Fairmont!

This is our second stay at the property. It is a convenient location and the home has everything we need for a comfortable and quiet visit. The living area is spacious and well- considered and there are plenty of comfortable sleeping spaces for a large family. We always have great communication with Tim and Tammie and will most likely stay there again in the future!

Carriage House ❤️
Had a fantastic week+ stay at the Carriage House. The home has a wonderful charm and is very unique with touches of old and new. Loved that the kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked with necessities so an immediate trip to the store isn’t required. We would definitely stay there again!
