"The location is fantastic! However, the interior photos on the website didn’t quite capture the cabin’s true character, as the sofa is old and dirty, cabin seemed a bit worn and dusty. Also, the cabin doesn’t have air conditioning, so it can get quite warm in the summer. I should have done a more thorough inspection before booking. Despite that, we had a wonderful time in the cabin. Thanks!"

8/10 Good
"The property is beautiful and has a lot of amenities. The game room was perfect! My boys loved the table games. The cabin was adorable and had many cute touches. The spa was very relaxing but a little difficult to use the cover. It also didn’t have quite enough water so the jets were pretty loud. Communication was difficult. We left a message about having a late check out and it was never answered. Also there was a mandated power outage for several hours on Saturday, and the owner didn’t let us know until the power had almost been returned. It was slightly inconvenient because we wanted to relax at the cabin. Had we been well notified, we probably would have stayed out for most of the afternoon. Overall, it’s a very cute cabin and we had a great stay!"

"Overall we really enjoyed the cabin. The deck and the yard are such a nice feature for summer renting! The beds were comfy and the bedrooms were spacious. The place feels very cozy and welcoming. The kitchen is huge but come use some more pots, pans, utensils, storage containers, etc.What I would suggest is to fix the stairs. I am a Realtor so I now what home inspectors look for and those stairs to the 2nd floor don't have a bullnose and the runners are loose and just placed on each step which is a major slip & fall hazard! We were very carful and found ourselves walking side ways down the steps to avoid a potential fall.I would have given it 5 stairs if it weren't for the stairs."
