It was the perfect peaceful stay.

The place was just far enough away from other homes where you felt removed from everything. It was perfect for just the two of us and our pups.

The house and hot tub were clean. Easy entrance into property and host was easy to contact and quick to respond. The house had what we needed for our stay, Kuerig, pots and pans, kitchenware, utensils, gas grill, and hair dryer; however, there is not a long spatula or tongs to use for grill. The house was secluded from other nearby rentals. Would stay again!

This cabin was absolutely beautiful. The hosts thought of everything. It was spotless, the view was spectacular, the amenities were fantastic. EVERYTHING was brand new. The WiFi was perfect. We got to stream movies in the evening. It was remote enough for nature lovers but close enough to anything you may need. We felt very safe and just loved being tucked in around beautiful woods and being up on a hill. I have stayed in many VRBO’s and this by far was the nicest I have ever stayed in. The host answered all of our questions and got back to us quickly. We were so sad to leave but looking forward to coming back next fall! I highly recommend Whip Poor Will cabin!!

Clean for the most part. There were a lot of lady bugs (mostly dead) around the back door. Some were crawling around in the house. Otherwise, very nice home!

No complaints about the booking that were under the control of the host, nature was the only spoil as otherwise everything was just what I had wanted. Very secluded like I had hoped, and everything about the listing was accurate! Rain and a dog afraid of said rain killed the hike and yard plans, oh well! The only downside is again out of the control of the host, in August after good rains the bugs at night can get bad, and the seclusion means it is pitch black without any house or porch lights that then attract them, and sometimes even in the dark. Maybe a screen option for the porch/deck in the future? And/or yard lights that could be used if desired to see further out into the property, as that could help ensure late night dog walks aren't so blind. Small nibbles, nothing that was unexpected and not clear via the listing details or photos. Great experience overall!
