The house was really nice. Similar to other reviews, the house wasn’t properly cleaned prior to our visit. The furniture is very nice and everything is good as it looks in the pictures. Lots of space. Kitchen is well stocked. There’s a library if dvd/bluerays to browse. ##### Charles F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael O. 11 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great getaway weekend This house has it all.

The home was absolutely stunning. The cabin was so peaceful and relaxing. The home had everything and anything you could possibly want or need. The decoration throughout the cabin were just perfect. We are already planning our next trip back. ##### Nathan W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley Z. 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Successful Bachelorette Party The place was beautiful and so clean. The owners were easy to get in contact with and were very helpful. Only thing we didn’t realize was how far away things were from the house. Coming home from Honi Honi it was very foggy and scary to drive through. Having the 20+ minutes to drive back was rough. But overall we loved the house and it was perfect for the wonderful weekend we had! ##### Ashley Z. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### charles l. 2 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ok but wouldn't go back Place was just ok. Lots of bugs in many rooms. Very frugal on basics like trash bags and dishwasher pods. Layout was odd with master bath off of the kids room and not the main bathroom. No paper towel provided. With all the rentals in the area I'd go somewhere else next time. ##### charles l.

It was big enoughfor my family. The grandchildren LOVED the game room and it wa hard to get them to go to bed! The reason I gave 4 stars is because the house is just abit too dark inside and there were minor cleaning issues on our arrival. Yes I would stay again. Just a smalll heads up as I didn't think about this...since the property is at a higher elevation it rained everyday that we were there. it kept putting our fire in the fire pit out. But that is a mothr nature issue! ##### Bonnie A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arthur W A. 29 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our Whistle and Quill Getaway We really enjoyed our stay at the Swanton Whistle and Quill Cabin. We had a great time. We were very impressed with the sporting based theme and high quality, thoughtful items located throughout the cabin. We would love to have a chance to use the Cabin again. It is obvious how much effort goes into the maintenance and upkeep of this property. FOR MANAGEMENT. In the spirit of helping to keep it up, I’m sharing these observations and suggestions. The Guest Information Book would be more helpful if it were located upstairs near the entrance rather than in the office. We swept with a broom many times but didn’t know there was a vacuum sweeper until we were loading to leave. Consider providing a list of things available for use like pots, blankets, vacuum, etc. The tracks of sliding doors inside and out need cleaned. There were lots of bugs inside the lower level and on the porches. A treatment program would be helpful. The seat cushions on the outside furniture were soaked from rain. A suggestion would be to clean and dry them and put them in clear garbage bags to use when needed. A thoughtfully located dog cable is located at the corner of the house. We’ve used a telephone pole anchor bolt installed level with the ground surface to be a carefree, secure way to provide a dog cable anchor point. ##### Arthur W A.
