Cabin was lovely with modern features. Everything worked great!

Only issue we had was there were quite a few spider webs inside the cabin when we checked in and the toilet seat cover was off for some reason. Otherwise the cabins were both amazing.

Thanks Dayna. The spiders I understand. We had a very bad month in the area. We had sprayed. We have sprayed again but as you may know spiders are very resistant to sprays. It does seem that a change in weather and or the spraying alleviated the issue. The toilet seat is a head scratcher. It is back on. We look forward to your return real soon. B&B

Great little getaway

We stayed at the Bass Cabin. They supplied everything you needed for a relaxing weekend. The only complaint I have is the beds were not comfortable at all. They were as hard as a rock.

Surprise weekend getaway for our son

We booked the cabin for our sons Birthday, since he absolutely loves to fish! The cabin was very clean and stocked with everything you will need. Our son caught an almost 4lb catfish down at the boat ramp our second night there, and he was so excited! Cant wait to visit here again!!

Rend Lake Bliss

Even though it's only about an hour from our home, it's such a relaxing wonderful place to spend time. We absolutely love staying at the cabins and cherish our time there. The fishing was slow this weekend but that's not the cabin's fault. The accommodations are perfect for us as a couple. I'm sure it's not exciting or stimulating enough for those who need constant action, but it's just the right fit for us!!! Looking forward to next time!!

Pleasantly Surprised

We booked this property for three nights for the total eclipse on April 8. It worked out perfectly for the eclipse. The unit was nicely appointed for a short stay. Since we are all senior adults that stayed, we appreciated the grab bars in the bathroom. Communication with the property manager was not the best. Certainly could improve upon that process. Overall, our stay was great.

Cute Cabin but for four, not six & no wifi

This is a very cute, well-equipped cabin. However, there are a few things on the listing that are not accurate. The listing says the cabin sleeps six but there is only one king bed and two twin beds so the cabin should really only accommodate four people. There is an uncomfortable futon in the living room but that should be included on the listing so it's not misleading. Wifi is also mentioned on the listing (I took a screenshot) and there is no wifi available at the cabin. In order to have wifi, you have to hop in the car and drive to the Seasons Lodge. We booked the cabin thinking wifi would be available so my husband could work on Friday and it was not so he drove to Mt. Vernon to do his video meeting. We arrived after dark and had the hardest time finding the cabin because GPS took everyone the wrong way (directed us all to a locked gate) . The location of the cabins are in an area that is pitch black after dark and the cabin would have been much easier to find had the porch light been on. Also, the woman at the front desk at the Seasons Lodge was extremely rude when I called her back and explained that we were lost and GPS took us to a locked gate. She yelled at me that I went the wrong way and "didn't listen to her instructions" when, in fact, I went the way she told us. We finally found it after my husband walked up to the dark cabin and entered the code on the door to see if we were at the right place. That was our only option since the woman was so rude and I was not able to reach our VRBO host. There are some things that could certainly be improved but I would go back and stay again now that I know my way around.
