Should not charge more for additional people on 3 bedroom unless it hits 6 people on 3 bedroom house. Other than that loved place. Clean, no WiFi, phone service is very low unless standing outside. Driveway is sloped. View is awesome from deck. ##### Ronnie C.

Big kitchen. All bedrooms, kitchen and living room were large. Convenient to downtown restaurants and Theatre. Negatives: No dishwasher, toilets were dirty, have to drive thru a very poor unkempt neighborhood to get to property. Carpet seemed dirty. Very basic TV stations. ##### Joan R. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine F. 14 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything was perfect! My husband and I purchased tickets to see Rhonda Vincent at the Lincoln Theater in Marion about a month ago. So we were on the hunt for a place to stay. We enjoy staying in houses/ cabins rather than hotels because we like to cook, sit by the fire and just enjoy ourselves. So when we found this place we thought it fit the bill. When we arrived Wednesday evening it really was perfect. Everything, bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms and living room, were spotless. The fire pit was exactly as described. We enjoyed cooking out meals over the fire pit, sitting by the fire and also the nightly visit from 2 beautiful deer. If we ever want to catch a show at the Lincoln Theater again, we will surely stay here. It was only 9 minutes from the Theater and 11 from the grocery stores. Very convenient. Overall a fabulous trip that I would recommend to anyone! ##### Christine F.

Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Julie L 8 Nov 2021 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication Disliked: Cleanliness The property was good for my parents and I to stay at instead of a hotel. The rental had most normal things, but no iron. Unfortunately, the sheets were not changed prior to our arrival and were absolutely filthy with excessive amounts of hair. We were able to find additional clean sheets to replace them with. The master bath was also quite dirty. Communication with the owner prior to our arrival was great, but communication after letting the owner know of our findings was nonexistent. Overall, pretty disappointed in the fact that we paid a hefty cleaning fee for a property that was not clean. ##### Julie L Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William D. 18 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vacation Had a wonderful stay ##### William D.

It was very clean, well furnished (although could use some bowls) and Weldon and Brenda greeted us to show us around which was very nice and helpful. Great access to all of the outdoors. ##### Sarah T. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Karla B. 26 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location #### Beautiful cabin The property owners were very, very nice. They stayed up to let us in at 10:45pm. The cabin is very nice as well, and well equipped. They even left us snacks, coffee and more. The King bed was super comfortable. My friend slept in both of the queen beds and thought the plastic cover was a little annoying. The view was beautiful! My only complaint I would have would be that it was listed with WiFi. When arrived we were told it was not working. We said it wouldn’t be a problem if we had good phone service. Unfortunately, we did not have good service (Verizon). So, we didn’t get much work done at the cabin and had to go into town to do it. We enjoyed our time here. One word of advice....do not eat at the Hardee’s in town. We were appalled at the rudeness of the people working there! Enjoy your trip to Marion! ##### Karla B. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2020
