Enjoyed Riders Roost
Very roomy place. Enjoyed stay, even with the bad weather. Quiet location. Unfortunately no cell service and no land line, so you have to drive in town to communicate with property management. All the staff at Adventure Pro Outdoors were super nice and helpful.

Hidden costs
The place was beautiful. My experience beforehand was quite negative as the overall price was quite a bit higher than the total cost I was quoted. Every time I try to find out why this was so I was told five times that the costs were clear, and if I just looked, I would find them. Obviously, if that was true, I wouldn’t have kept emailing asking for the summary of costs. It took two weeks to finally get a detailed invoice, which every other time I’ve stated VRBO that’s automatically provided. The other issue was when we arrived at the cabin. The temperature inside was 90°. They had turned the air conditioners on, but obviously just before we got in there because it did not cool down until 2 o’clock in the morning, and it was never comfortable while we were there. It was warm. Space is beautiful and there’s some great hiking trails. So I recommend it as long as you find out beforehand exactly what it will cost.

Birthday weekend
The property was great. Very roomie. Cell phone is not good in the area. Had some ants on the counter close to the microwave and toaster. Rained off and on all weekend and had some car troubles. But overall God was with us and blessed us with a great time and made a new friend as well.

Spacious & Private
Overall an okay experience. Lots of room & the property was relatively secluded from neighbors. However, there were many areas in the bathroom that my teenager dismissed as paint, but turned out to be bird poop—which we figured out when my youngest found a dead bird under her bed the morning of checkout. When I addressed this with the staff, she seemed to just dismiss me. I won’t rent from this company again because I feel that if something major would happen, they wouldn’t make it right.

Memorial getaway
We had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean, I did have to wash the frying pan before using, still had food on it from the previous tenants. I had forgot to bring spices, having a few basics in the cupboards would of been great. Other than that it was great stay, and woulddo it again..
