Baileys & Books

MichelleRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Mt Somers was a quick little stopover so we could visit Mount Sunday. Hilary was a fantastic host and recommended a nice local restaurant for dinner. She even remembered the reason I was staying (to visit Edoras from LotR) and left a nice note. The home was super clean and tidy and felt very cozy. Would definitely recommend if looking to stay in Mt Somers!

The Church at FOX

NathanRating, 5 stars3 months ago

The Church at FOX is a fantastic and truly unique place to stay in a great location. A former church that has been lovingly renovated into a contemporary space with great attention to detail: lots of windows, amazing kitchen, amazing bathroom. A short walk to restaurants, cafes, and small groceries. Be aware that A.J. can be somewhat slow to respond to questions; AirBnb says he averages around eleven hours, but we had one important question that took much longer. Nevertheless, we would definitely stay here again.

A clean and well-appointed bathroom is featured, showcasing a white sink set against a neutral wall. Wooden shelves provide space for toiletries, with a mirror reflecting the area. A white towel hangs on a sleek rack nearby, adding to the functional design.

Spacious Retreat w/ Outdoor Bath

GinaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in!! It's such a beautiful home, so comfortable, well-appointed, spacious & homely. All the wooden features were gorgeous. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a proper meal. We loved the fireplace & the outdoor bath. The fresh eggs, milk, teas, coffees & hot chocolate were a wonderful bonus. Huge & very comfortable bed. Everything was stylish & spotless. This place is a little slice of paradise & we wish we could have stayed a whole week!
