We had some trouble with our key code. Jason answered immediately when I called him. He was very helpful, gave us a new code number and did not hang up until we were in the house. The night skies were awesome. It's been a long time since we saw so many stars. We really enjoyed our stay there .

Lovely cabin directly on route 6. We had a wonderful time, even in the rain on their beautiful covered back porch! Camp fire pit is excellent!The traffic was quite loud at times. Sadly no direct path to the creek; however, the adorable little deck at the back of the yard presents gorgeous views.The renters respond quickly and with kindness!

I always try to give reviews that hit main points for me. So, with that in mind…1. Host was extremely easy to contact and responded quickly.2. Beds were super comfy. Some of the best we’ve ever had.3. Shower had hot water and good pressure. 4. Backyard was fabulous. Host provides the wood for the fire which is rare. 5. Fishing near the cabin was great.6. Pet friendly w a nice dog run in the backyard.The only drawback was the road noise at night but we took a noise machine and it worked well.Overall a great find.
