Quick Links
My two dogs and I felt very welcome at the Cottage. My dogs tend to get over excited by other people or pets/livestock… so the Cottage was great in that we didn’t see or hear others. Great fencing and gate, so my dogs could play safely and I could relax. The kitchen supplies were great and facilities very comfy – air conditioner and fans were verrryyy welcome when it hit 41 degrees (phew). Thank you again, our stay was great!
A beautiful country stay that we all enjoyed! Our Golden Retriever loved the wide open spaces to run around in and the accommodation included more than everything you could need for a great stay in the hunter! We would definitely love to stay again some day! A holiday we will always remember! Thanks so much!
Thanks for a lovely place to stay.We enjoy sitting out the back. We will return!
What a fabulous spot. Nice and quiet and relaxing. Great set up which made us feel relaxed. We will be back again for sure. Thank you.
We had a great stay at the cottage. It’s great for families and people with dogs. Great location, generous breakfast pack & lots of yard toys for the kids.
This was a great place for our family of four adults and two small dogs to stay in the heart of the Hunter Valley. The house was spotlessly clean and stocked well beyond our expectations. We meet one of the owners Eric over a few wines during a tasting when we picked up the keys. We would definitely recommend Misty Glen Cottage and will be returning again in the future.
Super spot for family plus puppy to enjoy a long weekend in the hunter The property was the most well stocked Airbnb I have ever stayed at , felt like a home!! Also being fully fenced with chicken wire meant it was secure for our small children and 3mth old Puppy to run around on the huge yard We also had Lovely afternoon at their nearby clear door with one on one service trying their lovely wines and sampling some local food Thanks again
The cottage provided the perfect getaway for a weekend in the Hunter Valley wine region. Our puppy enjoyed running around the spacious property while we relaxed in the comfortable lounge or outdoor seating area. Everything was provided for cooking our own meals, although there were also plenty of great spots to eat nearby. Wonderfully located in amongst all the wineries, we also highly recommend going for a tasting at Misty Glen itself!
We loved our stay at Misty Glen Cottage, and Vicci was the perfect host. Great communication, easy check in and a great touch with goodies for breakfast in the fridge. Saved us having to worry about anything. The backyard was so beautiful and peaceful, and the location was just minutes to everything the Hunter has to offer. I’d highly recommend this great little cottage.
The property was very clean and on a great spacious block of land. Our fur babies had a great time, the atmosphere was just relaxing and we really enjoyed sitting outside under the pergola enjoying some of Misty Glens wines and listening to the birds.
