5 out of 5Lovely dinner with friends
February 25, 2013
What an unexpected pleasure to have dinner at The Cottage for a belated Valentine's Dinner. The sauce on the shrimp was incredible, the sweet potatoe soufflé was perfect - not too sweet. Coupled with a salad and wonderful wine the dinner was divine. Then Martha's signature chocolate cake was a perfect end to a perfect night. Great friends, great food in a lovely spot! Kudos to Martha and Jean Michael. We plan to come back! Best, D Rich
5 out of 5A local treat
February 17, 2013
We had an absolutely wonderful home cooked meal. We were fortunate that Martha and John Michael were able to spend time chatting with us at night and in the morning, when they prepared us a light delicious breakfast before we took the "long" trek back to Tallahassee and reality. We were very, very pleasantly surprised at this gem in Monticello, nay in the entire big bend region. If you are looking for a unique B&B that has reasonable prices, two owners that treat you like family and a charming decor then check this place out.
4.8 out of 5Took my girlfriend for Valentine's Day
February 17, 2013
Martha and Jean-Michel at the Cottage B&B helped provide the absolute best Valentine's Day experience both my girlfriend and I have ever had. The hosts were continuously exceptionally warm, friendly, accomodating, and equally charming. I decided to have the optional thai shrimp dinner beforehand and it was outstanding. Also, the hosts were kind enough to add a Valentine's Day touch to the dinner and bedroom. The Romeo & Juliet room, in which we stayed, was very clean, comfortable, and aesthetically romantic. If my girlfriend and I decide to do another B&B in Monticello we will surely decide to re-live another exceptionally enjoyable experience at the Cottage.

Hi Martha and Jean Michel, We wanted to thank both of you for a wonderful stay at your house. I know we were only there late in the evenings and early mornings, but your house was so comfortable!! Your room was very comfortable and clean. Your breakfasts were awesome and it was so nice to be able to talk with both of you. You are 2 wonderful people who care deeply about your customers (friends). You treated us like family and we appreciate it. My son needed that friendly environment so he could focus on staying relaxed and to be able to perform his best with the Florida State professor. Thanks again for sharing your home and I will definitely spread the word to others as well. Happy Holidays and hope to see you both again in the future. Paul and David M

4.6 out of 5A Great time...
August 10, 2012
My husband and I had such a wonderful time staying and visiting with Martha and Jean Michael. They are special people. All I have done is talk about them and their beautiful home, and wonderful cooking. I sure wish I could get the “gang” together for a get-away next month, but unfortunately won’t be able to come back that soon. Looking forward to another visit in the future, though. This is a "Thank you" for their wonderful hospitality!
4.2 out of 5A Special Evening
November 07, 2011
I had wanted to plan a birthday surprise for my husband. After speaking with Martha, I knew that an evening at the Cottages would be perfect. Martha and her husband Jean Michael warmth and hospitality made for a wonderful evening. We will definitely be back.
Innkeeper Response
I called these folks to ask why they only gave the Romeo & Juliet room 3 stars and they said it was because the bed squeeked! We've tightened it up now, so no more worries!4.0 out of 5OLD WORLD CHARM
July 15, 2011
Two weeks ago, a sudden accident to a family member brought us to Montiocello, Florida. The accomadations, serenity and graciousness extended to us by Martha and Jean Paul turned our brief stay into a pleasant get away. We plan to go back to enjoy the wonderful company, intelligent conversation, peaceful and beautiful gardens along with a delicious and healthy breakfast as soon as we can get away. We also want to have one of Martha's gourmet dinners. Jean Paul's artistry in turning an old home into a Mediterranean style retreat is eye candy and comfort. Gale and Larry
4.6 out of 5Excellent Hospitality!
July 11, 2011
Martha and Jean Michel are excellent hosts. They were very welcoming and made my husband and I feel like we had known them forever. Martha used fresh herbs and vegetables from her garden to prepare one of the BEST meals I have ever had. The location of the cottage is two blocks from the Monticello Opera House and is a great place for a quiet weekend getaway.
