Yes, we were satisfied. Great location and everything we needed. The only problem was there was difficulty communicating with the property manager to obtain the access code. It was obtained only by a couple of calls to the VRBO helpline. And we were delayed by an hour getting into the property.

Cute little cottage in a great location!

My 15 year old daughter and I stayed here for 5 days while she attended cooking camp. It was the perfect size and in the perfect location for us. The cottage was super clean and very serene. I would highly recommend staying here and plan on visiting again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Close getaway

Lovely updated cabin close to all the action. We grilled and hung out on the deck and seemed like we were deep in the woods. Bedrooms are great. The second one is super comfy and cozy. The locally owned grocery store nearby had great prices and selections for the grill.

This little house was clean and provided the bare necessities. My only complaint is the bedding is fairly lightweight and there weren't any blankets.

I have been fighting cancer all year. When I made the reservations so I was feeling really good about leaving that day. I had an attack gallbladder and had to have it taken out while I was in there to not get out until Friday. I contacted her immediately that Monday morning when it happened and was requesting a change of dates and they refused to do that I will not use them again and I will not recommend it to any of my friends they were. They were not very sympathetic or empathetic to me when I was trying to get this straightened out.

This place is absolutely misrepresented in the description. It is peek season here this was a last minute booking and I had used the portion we set aside for accommodations for this place upon arrival and walk-in the home smelled horribly which wasn't the biggest issue which I will share in photo. The central air was so loud outside our daughter's room she had trouble sleeping it sounded like a generator running. Even after you pay a cleaning fee 125 you are still told to clean the beds and multiple other things before you leave and if we had more set aside for sleeping accommodations we would have just went to a hotel!
