So true!!! When God is leading, everything goes well!

Yes! We had Yoder Building out of Fairplay, SC, frame and put in windows/doors when we smalled down to our cottage! We were so impressed! They would actually show up on time & put in a full day's work!!

Mary, you are an excellent example of a Proverbs 31 woman. I have watched you from the begging of your channel. Often working alone. What a blessing to have your husband and family to embrace your hard work & call you blessed by honoring & supporting you in your growth. God has truly blessed you and your family. You inspire me!

[@deloisphillips831]

Exactly! It's ok to dream but what a hardworking woman ❤

[@conniemorgan8402]

This video had me tearing up.. so happy to see you realize your dream !! Just look at what you have accomplished since starting your channel !! Hard work reaps blessings. And, your subscribers also reap benefits from you sharing you skills, your work ethic and your creativity, with us !! Love you to pieces, Mary !! God bless you, and your family. You deserve every bit of the success that has come your way !! ❤️❤️

I love how the cottages are angled so that each family can enjoy their fire pit privately without the other cottage seeing what they’re doing. I’m awestruck by the beauty!

[@BlualwaysJarrett]

i was thinking the same exact thing!!

[@tibbs4000]

Private but close enough to make a new set of friends if you want. I'm awestruck too!

[@csclose]

Oh, Mary…I have no words! They are both just stunning! I do favor Apple Blossom only because of that gorgeous green you used throughout! I pray a blessing upon you, your family, and your new adventure with your cottages! I pray, too, that whoever is blessed to stay in your cottages will be restored and refreshed for their life’s journey. I hope to be one of those people one day! Cindi (from WV). 🥰

[@LonnaLamb]

These look so amazing! So inviting! I’m sure many guests will have a very enjoyable time. One thing you may want to do is have a book for guests to write in about their visit. We stayed at an air B and B way before they became the thing to do and this was one thing they did that we enjoyed. Reading about past guest visits and what they did on their visit. It was great to leave our words in the book for future guests.

Mary, the cottages couldn’t be more lovely. You have thought of every detail and all the furniture and additional touches would make anyone feel right at home. It’s great to see that dreams really do come true. I am happy for you and your family. I know this has been such a blessing along with a labor of love.

One word…WOW! The Cottages are spectacular. My mom passed away May 16 from Dementia. One of my sweet memories was sitting with her to watch your latest project. She seemed to actually enjoy listening and watching you work as I would ask her, te gusta (in Spanish) and she would nod and smile. We haven’t travelled in the 9 years she was with me but your cottages is on my bucket list. Wishing you joy always❤

Mary you are a natural at filming. You say it’s hard for you but no one would ever know that! You are beautiful, smart & talented. I can hear how much you love your husband just by you talking about him! You are so real & I wish that more people were like you & your family! You are so talented & have a great eye for design! I love how humble you are & I know that God sees all things! You are very blessed with these gifts.

Mary these are stunning! Thirty plus years ago I drew a nice house (that I longed for all my life dating back to childhood) on a sketch pad, including all the rooms, square footage, etc. I am living in it. I KNOW the joy that you feel when you realize that God has spoken through your life in such a way that aligns your heart's desire and His will for you and I know how humbling it is. I smiled through this entire video and teared up a few times. I am SO incredibly happy for you! God is so good!! Happy Fall!! 🍁🌻🍂

Oh Mary when you first announced about the cottages I knew with your style they would be beautiful but oh they far exceeded any expectation. As a Brit who has stayed in many an English country cottage, you absolutely nailed the look. I really hope to come to the USA one day and stay in one of these cottages. What I love most is your constant compliments about others, MB and all who were involved. You are so generous and genuine. I wish your family and this venture continued success xxxxxxx

[@joannecooper4592]

Absolutely adorable! The cottages look so inviting and they have everything anyone could need. I've been in the vacation rental business for 4 decades so I'd like to make a couple of observations: first, as your white towels wear out and get stained, switch to light gray and use Lysol Laundry Sanitizer instead of Clorox to make them germ free (have to think about cleaning up to COVID prevention standards!); also, while colored throw pillow covers are great for decorating, if you can't wash them after each guest leaves then you run the risk of spreading germs to the next group because people will take naps on them and leave a dirty hair smell (likewise with bed covers and duvets--gotta wash them every time).One last thing: be sure to check your silverware drawers and utensil drawers after each guest--you would be surprised how many drawers will be full of crumbs and are jumbled up from use. Honestly, I could write a book!

[@THardy.]

Perfection! You did a great job, Mary. They have all the creature comforts travelers could want and are utterly charming. Congratulations!

[@DownButNotOutYet]

These two cottages are so smart, modern, comfortable I cannot make a choice. Both are superb for staying over for a lovely change; summer or winter or whichever season you wish to visit. The finishing touches made it more personal, alas, the construction was well done, enjoyed the evening photos as well. When we pray and ask for guidance and blessings, all just goes well.

[@pamkendrick1855]

Mary, everything is just gorgeous! Everyone did amazing work and worked really hard! You and your family are a real true inspiration!

Perfectly executed Mary. Apple Blossom and Sparrows Nest are so exceptional that I don't have adequate words to describe them.

Oh they are so beautiful, ❤️ I am so happy for you and your family. I really loved it when your builder prayed with you over the land before the build. That was just so sweet and awesome. You have done a phenomenal job designing and creating. I know it took a lot of hard work on everyone's part, but so well worth it. Amazing! Love this video. It looks like a designer's magazine feature. I still love that old sink!

Your cottages are beautiful and will only become better as the landscape around them matures and becomes more natural looking. I love new but the timeless feeling that mature plants and trees give a dwelling is so comforting to me. Your own home has that feeling.
