This was a great place to stay with my grandkids. So many fun things to do at the cabin.
This place was everything we wanted and needed. The owner was great to work with and the cabin is far enough out that it’s nice and peaceful but close enough to town for those who want to shop. Would recommend this cabin to anybody who like the outdoors
Cozy fireplace, fire pit, and hot tub. Only one bathroom, but is spacious enough for 2 people to get ready. Plenty of books, puzzles, and movies to keep you entertained. Beautiful setting. Highly recommended.
The property is beautiful and secluded. The house was cozy charming and very comfortable. We did have a good time and love that it was pet friendly. This wonderful and magical place is in need of some very overdue TLC. The hot tub did not work, and appeared to have been in need of repair for some time. Very disappointing. We called about it day one, but no one came to look at it, or follow up with us. The long gravel walk from parking to house is dangerous. There are numerous metal rods sticking up where the wood steps have worn down or broken off completely. Major tripping hazard. The step up to deck is detached and wobbly. There are numerous loose boards on the deck we almost tripped on. Broken deck rocking chairs. Torn patio chair cushions. We cooked in all 4 days, and had to wash majority of dishes, pans before we used them. We learned how dirty the oven was after cooking something, and black smoke poured out. We had to clean the outdoor grill before using. The front door mud room was dirty and full of cobwebs.
Our family enjoyed staying in this cabin! The area was very nice and the outdoor deck and hot tub were very relaxing. We also enjoyed all the board games stocked in the house. When booking, I would have liked to know that while there are three bedrooms, they aren't private. The bedroom set up made getting our 3 year old to sleep before everyone else a bit challenging. I would also have liked to know that the one bathroom was downstairs while all the bedrooms were upstairs. These things aren't a big deal, but would have been helpful to know when planning a trip with children.
At first glance, the VRBO was very cute and in a great location. Upon our arrival, the steep gravel driveway was incredibly washed out and hard to get up (with all wheel drive vehicles). The walkway into the cabin was also not well maintained and the “steps” were degrading and broken. We had to wash every dish we used because they hadn’t been checked that previous guests thoroughly washed them. They were greasy and still had bits of food in them. Several of the cabinet pulls were broken/ missing or easily came off. The most disappointing part was the hot tub didn’t work the entire duration of our stay, which was a large reason why we picked the particular cabin. Generally, it’s in a great location and has a lot of potential but I fear having pride in the cabin is lacking and it was very underwhelming.
We had such a great time! The cabin was cozy and fully stocked with everything we needed. The hot tub was a major plus and we were close to great hiking.
Very nice and clean, comfortable beds. Good kitchen supplies, selection if games, and VHS movies. The 4 person hot tub was very nice. The open loft above the livingroom had been converted to the "master bedroom". There was a door between that and the two bedrooms at the top of the stairs. After said door you entered the first cozy bedroom and walked through it to the second bedroom (no door between) which had the bunkbed queen below a twin. Under this second bedroom you could look through the floorboard gaps to the toilet in the bathroom below. This wasn't an issue as we didn't use this room. All three bedrooms are on the second floor and the bathroom is at the far end of the house on the main floor through the laundry room. It is a very interesting layout. Beyond these quarks the home is lovely, cozy, and inviting. Plenty of towels, linens, extra blankets, and thoughful touches. The firewood was stacked nicely outside but was not covered so it was soaking wet. I'm glad we brought some. It could use a tarp or some other cover. The living room T.V. did not have a DVD player (there went snuggling on the couch as a family to watch a movie). Two of the three upstairs TVs in the bedrooms had VHS/DVD combos. Neither in the master bedroom. The only connections were old AV cables. The gravel driveway was steep. Initially our Camery sunk in halfway up, but with a running start we made it.
We had a great time at this cabin—this was the first time we took our two dogs on vacation, and it worked out so well! Everyone enjoyed the cabin and the various amenities, and we also enjoyed time in Nashville and at the state park. I would definitely plan another trip to stay here in the future!
I would clarifiy that there really isn't much privacy.. only 1 if the bedrooms had a door but it wasn't private either bc the kids room connect through that room. 1 room is the open loft. Definitley a lived in feel for this home... the big thing i didn't like was it was 630 in November when we arrived so pitch dark out and the cabin was NOT VISABLE from the driveway.. then once we figured out the shed (that looked like a scary movie scene) ... no joke it was not clear it was part of the property we were staying at and there were NO LIGHTS OUTDOORS!!!
The cabin was great and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home away from our home. Great location close to Brown County State Park and the super cute Nashville town!
This cabin is exactly what it sounds like - our city dog loved having the long lead to run around the yard. Rustic and close to beautiful parks and Columbus and Nashville. Highly recommend!
It was a very peaceful place. The owner of the property was so kind. And really treated us well. Would recommend this place to anyone. The nicest place we have stay at in brown County. We enjoy taking trips down there and by far the best most comfortable place we have stayed in.
