We are available to answer any questions, make recommendations, and can let you know where to find live music while you stay with us. We also provide you a handy guest book and our phone numbers when you arrive.

During hot and dry months we may ask your permission to quickly come water plants to ensure they stay alive if the temperatures are high . We will try to limit this and will always contact you first!

Charming
This adorable charming cottage was such a great place to stay. It exceeded our expectations. The flowers and greenery made it seem like you were in a tropical oasis. The place was so cozy and was perfect for the two of us. The front porch rockers were great for enjoying our morning coffee. The back deck was nice to sit and relax. The hot tub was in and not yet ready but is going to be a great addition. Emily & Will have made this place so enjoyable. I highly recommend..

Perfect Little Cottage
From the moment we stepped into the cottage, we felt at home. Every little attention to detail was nothing short of perfection! I was also comforted to know my family knew this family. There is nothing like a small town. I will definitely return!

Perfect weekend
This cottage is so amazing! We didn't have to drive anywhere except the beach and enjoyed walking around the little town of Mathews. The farmers market and bookstore on Saturday was an extra treat! The cleanliness and decor of the cottage was perfection and it felt like home for the weekend. Perfect quiet spot for a slow weekend away!

Fabulous
Beautiful little cottage right off Main Street in quaint, lively, very walkable Matthews with good restaurants. Hosts have anticipated all needs down to personal as well as tasty treat flourishes. Make sure to go at least on Friday to be there for the Saturday farmers market.

Hidden Gem in Mathews
My wife and I have done a getaway every year for our wedding anniversary. This makes 22 years. Sugartoad Cottage immediately has vaulted to our top three locations! The accommodations are not only gorgeous and clean, but Will and Emily’s attention to every detail is amazing! We would have extended our stay as soon as we walked in the door, but someone had already booked behind us!
