    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.

    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

    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.

    Wonderful Getaway and Very Special Place!

    Attending the annual Rose Festival in Thomasville, GA. was supposed to be the highlight of our girls weekend/Birthday celebration for our Mom and Aunt but our time at The Cottage was what made our trip together so very special and what we will always cherish. Martha and Jean Michel have found their niche! They didn't miss a single detail and what wonderful spirits they are to be around. My sister and I thank you for making our special trip so unforgettable! We will be back!
