Rainbows End was great. It was clean, plenty of space, and just as advertised. The only issue were the directions, basically the ability to identify the location in the neighborhood. But it wasn't that much of an issue. I would recommend this cabin to anyone. It's location to restaurants and attractions was good. Would stay again.

We loved the stay at Rainbow’s End. It was close to our destination and easily accessible. Our party had plenty of room. Only downside was the extreme chlorine smell in the downstairs area, we opened the doors and windows for a few hours for it to dissipate. We will return again!

Rainbows End was a great stay overall. The cabin could have been cleaner, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars. Aside from that, everything else was very good. The cabin could use a few upgrades, but it was cozy and comfortable, and we made memories we will truly cherish. Management was very responsive and attentive, always making sure we were satisfied and happy during our stay

This is a wonderful cabin. Downstairs was a little musty but we kept the dehumidifier running. I would stay here again.
