Not as listed/very disappointing

We didn't mind roughing it without running water & compostable toilet but what we didn't pay for was to be expected and told we had to clean the fire pit before using it(covered in branches at least 2feet high) and that yellow jackets were prominent on the front of the cabin. Also, the uninvited carpenter ants inside the cabin (hundreds). We felt the outside sheds and the inside entrance were a fire hazard. So we left 2 days early. We wouldn't recommend this rental to anybody.

Do not book here, the host is hostile

Upon arriving at the property, the Host was not there and when we contacted her she refused to let us into the property because she said we were late. The advertised check in time was after 3pm and we arrived at 7:30pm. The host claimed we "broke her rules" and therefore she did not need to let us in. She told us to find a hotel for the night and we could be admitted tomorrow. We had driven over 6 hours from our home to this remote location and had pets with us. We declined her suggestion and she became very very hostile towards us and started to make up lies about us on a hastily posted review on VRBO. Fortunately, VRBO staff sided with us and assisted us with obtaining a refund and finding a new place to stay. This host has absolutely no concept of what they are doing or how anything pertaining to property rental works. She is hostile and makes up wild lies about things you never said or agreed to and does not understand the basic concept of renting out her property. She completely upended our only vacation of the year and we had to makes all new plans and find hotels last minute that allow pets. All of this amounted to many surprise costs that we had to pay out of pocket. Book somewhere else unless you want a hostile host to ruin your vacation.

About the host

Hosted by DEBORA JACKSON

Former chair of a Heritage committee, museum curator, archaeological field worker are some of my past positions and protecting, documenting and promoting the enjoyment of out heritage is my goal.

Why they chose this property

This log cabin sits on an original land grant from 1840. Modern features found in the home when it was purchased, are gradually being removed to take it back to it's original appearance at the period of construction in the 1800's. This has been a years long process for us.
We also strive to protect and support the flora and fauna of the area.
It is a wonderful retreat, steeped in history and surrounded by nature.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is very rustic. It will appeal to those familiar with camping. it is like camping with a roof over your head. you will encounter the same flora and fauna that you would if you were tent camping.
There are many wild animals that cross in front of the cabin, mostly at night, from bear to weasel. there is a game camera in place to record their visits.
Bird watching is excellent, star gazing is also great. Fireflies, tree frogs, house wrens are not in short supply.
the cabin is not visible from the road so affords privacy.
