Nice retreat
We rented this cabin to spend New Years and it was lovely, it was a great to be apart from the city and experience nature. We didn't spot much wildlife, but we did go to a lake and a waterfall that is a short drive away. The house itself it big, and all rooms were enough for us 8.

Perfect family getaway!
We were more than pleasantly satisfied with all accomodations, cleanliness, and ease of booking. We had four wonderful days with family away from the hussle and bussle of our very busy lives. We cooked and baked in the wonderfully stocked kitchen and enjoyed all areas of the cabin...we were happy to stay in the entire time. The extra basement frig was good for additional food/beverages for our group of 8. The mattresses allowed for a good night's sleep, but not the best quality. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely book again...thinking about next year already!

The Hammock Will Bring You Back
We had the best time and it was just what we needed for our Christmas holiday. They even had a tree for us to decorate. The spiral staircase takes a little getting used to, but you can also walk around outside to get to the bottom floor. The absolute best, though, was napping in the hammock listening to the little creek. We all wished we had another day and we will definitely be back if they’ll have us!

Life long friends mountain visit
The cabin was fantastic. It was equipped with all necessary items and more. Plenty of room for our group and a very peaceful area. We have been coming to this are for 40+ years camping but because of age we no longer desire to sleep in tents on air mattress. We will definitely keep this place in mind for future visits.

Homey but needed cleaning
Was surprised how filthy the screened deck was, I have photos. Took me 2 hours to clean this area and another hour for the deck. Baseboards, lamps furniture dusty, no toilet paper except on roll, main bath maybe had 30 sheets. Fire pit filled w beer cans and bottles, gliders falling apart. Makes me wonder how old the VRBO photos are. Hard to regulate air, would go off during the night. Lots of junk around outside. If you went to a hotel you expect a clean area totally. Not so w this cabin. Too bad, it would have been better if they had someone come over and inspect it's condition and client readiness. Sorry 😞

Pictures don’t do it justice!!
The house was clean and ready for us! Love the touch of having toiletry items in the bathroom for us! My only complaint, which wasn’t a big deal, not all the recliners work in the theater room. We will definitely be back!

We loved it!
We had 6 adults and 2 kids and the house was perfect for us. Lots of space, beautiful property. The neighbor Buck, was very kid and had a lovely produce stand. Our only feedback is that the Wi-Fi was very unreliable for all of our 8 days. My husband even tried to contact the internet company to fix it. We relied on this as he was working remotely, so it was a big inconvenience. He had to go into town to work. But if you don’t need the internet or you’re trying to unplug, I highly recommend! Also great for kids.

Disappointing
First, the cabin is in a great location. There are no pictures of the spiral staircase that was a pain getting downstairs. The refrigerator downstairs did not work which was also very inconvenient while playing pool and socializing. Supposedly the realtor got it fixed but did not check to make sure it worked. Same situation with the loft bathroom which leaked into the master bathroom that was supposedly fixed but never checked. Finally, we had 4 days left on our rental and the septic tank backed up in the drain field in the front yard and ran down into the backyard. The kids had to stay away from the area and smell. I feel we should get 4 days refund instead of 1. Cabin needs major work.

We enjoyed our stay, the house was much nicer then the pictures showed! (new picture should be taken) plenty of room for all of us. My grandson loved the tire swing. The screened porch was wonderful for breakfasts in the am and card playing in the evening. Loved our stay.
