Comfortable cabin

Nice accommodation. Close to many activities we were interested in. Had a little miscommunication abt # of people staying & enough bathing supplies but host fixed it when notified. Variety of food choices available nearby. Quiet area.

Cozy, quiet and relaxing

This was the ideal property for my significant other and I to escape the busyness of our day to day. The cottage was clean, had a comfortable lofted bedroom, privacy and is close to all the activities we planned for our getaway. Morning coffee and the hot tub was the perfect way to start the day. Highly recommend!

The best property we've stayed in yet

We have been coming to RRG for about 4 years now, and this is hands down the best cabin we've stayed in yet. It's easy to find, and the access is paved (important when it is as steep as they are round here). WiFi was fast, bed was comfy, and there were a lot of very nice touches (like nightlights so you could find the bathroom in the darkness). About the only issue (being super picky) was the InstaPot in the description wasn't actually there - which meant we had to do the casserole the old fashioned way on the stove - and the big burner on the stove couldn't be used because the knob was missing/broken. Oh, and the oven door handle is ,.....rustic :)

Tanzanite Cabin

The cabin was not as nice as it appeared in the advertisement. The television did not work and we had to call for them to come fix it. The hot tub was on 104 and we asked them to come and lower it because we were not able to lower the temperature our self. That was never done. The hot tub was too hot for us to sit in and so we were not able to use that at all, which is exactly the main reason that we rented this cabin. I feel like for the price it should’ve been nicer cleaner and things should’ve worked better. Several of my last communications with the property manager were not answered.

Lovely Get Away

We enjoyed this cabin very much. It was modern enough and cozy. There was privacy, though you could see other cabins from the hot tub, it is doubtful they would see you unless they were purposefully trying. The location was convenient to the entire park. The kitchen was amazing for cooking and there were plenty of sitting areas for relaxing. One warning ... my husband and I are in our late forties. The king bed mattress was extremely uncomfortable for us. It is overly soft, we sank into the middle (neither of us are overweight). Everyone has a different mattress need, so it may be perfect for you. But, if you prefer a firmer mattress you may not sleep well. Lol

Stayed 2 nights, booked 1 month in advance. First, the bad. No actual Check-In process was communicated, so I took it upon myself to text the owner that we had arrived. The Wi-fi gateway was constantly dropping out in the afternoon & early evening, which became a major issue since the TVs use YouTube TV. By dropping out I mean connected for 10-15 minutes, then disconnected for 5-10 minutes, cycling this way over and over. It got less frequent later in the evening, but made TV viewing very frustrating. The other major issue was the lights over the staircase were non-functioning. This is a safety issue since the bedroom is a loft & the bathroom is on the lower level. We left the bathroom lights on overnight to provide some lighting for the stairs. At 4 A.M. on the first night we were awaked to the sound of a lightbulb shattering (must have overheated) & then had to get up to clean up broken glass in the bathroom. I texted the owner in the morning & she said she would send someone out to replace the spent/broken bulbs, but when we returned to the cabin after 6 P.M. nothing had been replaced & no further communication. Fail!Now, the good. The cabin was clean. The mattress was very comfortable. The hot tub is very nice & was our favorite feature (especially after a full day of hiking!).Overall, I give it a grade of "C".

Check in was a breeze and the cabin was clean and as described. The only issue was there was a smell when we arrived, and it was from two full bags of trash. Left in the cabin. Also, went to freshen up clothes in the dryer, and it was not working. Overall- enjoyed our stay-beautiful and peaceful.

Birthday bliss

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a little birthday getaway. The cabin was so cute, cozy and well-appointed. We really loved that it was close to everything RRG but tucked away in the trees. The hot tub was excellent after long hikes too! Would definitely come back :)

Stay was great. I only gave 4 out of 5 on Cleanliness because we had a cricket visit us inside the house. It could have come in when we came through the door. Location is great in relation to local attractions. FYI the road up to the house is steep!

Very cute place, loved accessibility to town and natural bridge. Tv kept turning off, im a bartender so i kerp strange hours, so my body is used to being up all night.Could use some sort of easier pathway to the fire pit, the moss is slippery. And the light by the door wasnt working properly. Property is so cute, hot tub was great. We will definitely stay here again. We loved the totem poll too! Very cool!

A Gem

Beautiful area! The house was a perfect size, but I'm not used to having steps in my house, it felt weird to go up to bed! The hot tub was very clean. We wished it had a little more usuable yard for the dog, but that's hard when you are on the side of a hill. All-in-all, a goid time!!
