Grandsons 13th birthday trip

The cabin was better than the listing! Kitchen is huge, with an amazing amount of cabinet and counter space. Love the island, and up to date appliances!! Lots of living space. Bedrooms were comfy and the loft is such a plus, my grandson loved the birds eye view of the inside;). We were visited by turkeys, and squirrels. Fire pit and patio were much appreciated! Enjoy walking the property and took a short trip to wander the shores of the Mississippi River at the French Access. Will definitely tell family and friend about our experience!!

A Relaxing Get-away

As we drove up to this remote cabin this winter, deer and turkey scattered. The inside interior is open making it feel larger than it is. The main bedroom is on the floor level, the second bedroom is in the loft accessed by a large ladder. The queen beds were firm and comfortable. The bathroom had a deep tub with plenty of hot water to take a soak in. My favorite spot was two chairs that faced the back. I drank coffee and watched the breeze sway the tree tops - it was mesmerizing. I definitely would recommend this cabin whether for solitude or hardy entertainment it will meet your needs.

A Friend Getaway!

My friend and I wanted a place to stay where we could get away from home and spend a week crafting. The space looks like it was converted from a garage, so it was really cute and I think they picked all of the right elements for the space! It is not 100% clear in the listing, but one of the beds is in a loft. Speaking of beds, this a preference thing. The VRBO has memory foam mattresses, which aren’t my favorite, but I do know lots of people like those. So if you are a picky sleeper, this might be something to keep in mind. I think overall the cleaning could use an improvement. My friend and I have both been housekeepers (and she had a cleaning business) for some higher end places where we live. We also aren’t too bothered by it, but someone else might be. There were things like cobwebs in the windows and corners, so a more detailed cleaning would do this place good. Another thing to keep in mind is if you have mobility issues. The tub is quite tall. When we got there, one of the beds was not made and no sheets were there, which wasn’t great as we got there late after a long day of travel. BUT! The host was extremely responsive and helped us out right away by sending someone out to bring us the supplies we needed. When my car wouldn’t start on our last day, they also assisted in finding a local place to help. So both of us really appreciated how attentive the host was and helped us resolve any issues in a timely manner. We would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Ben T McLean

My name is Ben McLean and I can't wait to host you! For the better part of 5 years I've considered buying a short term rental as I've always been curious about doing something like that and earlier this year my wife and I finally ended up pulling the trigger! I absolutely love real estate and I hope that's reflected in the care and detail we put into our property. Most of my career has been spent in customer service so if there is anything at all that I can do to improve your stay please do not hesitate to reach out!

Why they chose this property

This property just jumped out to my wife an I. Set on a secluded 5 acres it really does provide solitude and a feeling of being out in the middle of the forest by yourself. The styling has some rustic feel to it while also having all of the modern amenities you could want. Happy to share this property with you all!
