The property was clean and easy to access. Upon entering the place it was very hot until we opened the windows and turned on the fans. Ants were a problem in the kitchen, living room and bathroom.

They have a really cute backyard with a clean & well functioned jacuzzi. Indoor areas is OK. It gets cold at night, and the ac didn’t really help with the thin covers. We heard neighbors dogs barking through out the night.

Cute and cozy. Clean inside. Hot tub and fireplace were awesome. Would have loved for the patio furniture to be clean so we could sit and enjoy outside. Was able to make use of the picnic table instead though. I would recommend some more basic cooking supplies like a spatula, mixing bowl and griddle. If the heater isn’t turning on, the pilot went out. A book of instructions would be a good touch as well. Wasn’t sure how they wanted the place cleaned when we left. Overall I would stay here again. Thank you!

Perfect little cabin!!!

This cabin was absolutely perfect for me, my adult daughter and my 10 year old son! It was cozy and still roomy enough for us to relax and enjoy each others company. The hot tub was a hit for my daughter and I to relax in, after out adventuring during the day. We cooked 3 meals in the cabin during our 2 night stay, so having the kitchen was also a plus! The cabin was clean and came equipped with everything we needed. Great neighborhood! We will definitely stay again!!!! Kylee was a great host!!!

This experience was everything short of amazing. The host took about 8-15 hours to respond to messages regarding our booking. The furniture, flooring, and linen was covered in dog hair. We asked about possibly getting the place cleaned up and no one came nor was a solution provided. She started responding when we threatened to cancel our booking. Please consider this when booking this property. If you book, take pictures. I wouldn’t come back here which is sad considering how nice the property is.

Cool little place.

I enjoyed this property very much. It was very clean and the amenities were very thoughtful. We couldn't get both sets of jets to work on the hot tub but it still felt nice to soak in. We thought no A/C would be a problem in late July but with windows open and fans going it felt great. We did have a small problem with ants but who doesn't during the summer? I would definitely use this property again. It was a good size for 2 guys because of the loft area to sleep. 3 adults could stay comfortably and of family of 4 could make due. Nice and quaint for a party of 2 though!
