Absolutely satisfied, my significant other and I along with our 4 kids had plenty of space. We all enjoyed the split levels for bedrooms. The theater room and pool table were a hit! We enjoyed the hot tub. Very peaceful, we enjoyed coffee on the porch next to the fire pit. Very clean and well maintained. I am extremely impressed with the responsiveness of the owners, any questions, within minutes we had answers. Will definitely stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We were skeptical it was going to be as nice as the pictures showed. But it definitely was! We loved the porch. Enjoying coffee on the swings or the seats. This was the nicest cabin week have ever rented. Will be back in the future

We do wish you’d made any of your concerns known to us when you were staying with us. We’re quick to resolve anything that comes up. We also wanted to correct some facts from your review. We’ve replaced the shower curtains. There are, in fact, floodlights on the driveway and in several spots around the perimeter of the cabin. The subwoofer Plexiglas has been removed, and still functions perfectly. Most importantly, we do have central air. We have supplemented it with 2 “mini-split” units to give guests even more control of their comfort, but the cabin has central air throughout from a brand new unit installed this year.

My Family and I had a great time at the Cabin. Very nice and quiet neighborhood. Easy access to everywhere. If you're looking for good communication and quick answer Sean is the one. From the beginning to the end of my vacation, he always check on us. Make sure that we don't need anything. And also quick to respond to any question that I have.Thank you Sean.

This cabin was very nice & our host Sean was wonderful....always just a text away! The yard was super level & our five grands loved running around and playing in the grass that Sean was nice enough to have cut for us! The cabin was beautiful & spacious. We all had our own rooms & the grandkids enjoyed the bunk beds & theatre & pool table! Small, quiet neighborhood with nice street to take our evening strolls! Great experience!

Had issues with the wifi at first and the host immediately sent maintenance over to work on it. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Aside from the wifi which was fixed in just a couple hours, our trip was as smooth as can be and so nice. So roomy and perfect for a family or friend vacation. Book this place! You won’t regret it!!

We had a wonderful time with family. There are three floors which kept everyone separated once it was time to wind down but also brought everyone together with different amenities found on each (the theater was obviously a hit)! The cabin had multiple entrances so those of us with trouble climbing up and down stairs were able to access our rooms without issue - that was an unexpected plus! Sean was incredibly responsive before, during and after our trip and I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking.
