Great newly remodeled cottage. Very comfortable and clean with all the necessities provided. Fire pit was great after spending all day on the lake. Super close to James Creek boat launch.Parking can be a bit of a challenge if you have a large vehicle and boat, but otherwise great place!

The property itself was a little slice of heaven. What the issue was when we informed the owner that we found bugs in the cabin, specifically cockroaches, their response was to basically tell us we didn't know what we were talking about and that we could always leave, after just having driven 3.5hrs to get there, because they spray and no one else has EVER complained before. Even after we showed photo proof. We'll we found 3 dead cockroaches a dead wasp, a dead yellow jacket and several dead stink bugs. I used to work as a pest control professional. I know my bugs. Loved the cabin... not thrilled with the owner.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 May 2026
Hey Michael I’m sorry that my messages came across as if I was downplaying your knowledge of dead bugs or “telling” you to leave. Emotion is hard to show via text. I simply wanted you to feel as comfortable as possible and was trying to convey that it was totally your call to leave and request a refund if you weren’t comfortable staying. I didn’t want you to feel as if you had to be there if that makes sense! But having just had someone there a few days prior and even consistently throughout the “off” season, I was trying to explain how odd it was to assume the worst of the bugs when it’s been a very active place with no mention of critters. So I once again apologize about the few bugs that happened to get in. Like I said we do our best to continue pest control per a certified company each year but as you can see we are deep into the woods so we can only do so much. We personally went and did a deep clean though and noticed some of the dead bugs you found had been back under an unused bed that we had to pull away from the wall completely to get but we were able to find them and get rid of them immediately! Thanks again for the stay and I hope you were still able to enjoy your weekend!

My family had a great weekend at this cabin near Raystown lake. The home is fully remodeled with an industrial farmhouse interior - very well done. Deck with grill was great since it was hot. The place was very clean & looked exactly like pictures online. My 2 adult children stayed downstairs, while my husband & I had the upstairs bedroom. It was a short drive to nearby fishing & kayaking. Ashley was very responsive to questions during our stay. Highly recommend!

Perfect Woodsy Find

The cabin was even more magical in person than it appeared on VRBO. Ashley was a joy to communicate with—responsive and kind throughout our stay. The drive into the woods felt sacred and serene, and the well-placed lighting around the cabin added a glowing charm to the peaceful setting. Please excuse the quick photos—I snapped them mid-conversation to share the moment with my twin. My daughter loved the open space, hangout zone in the basement, and my husband was thrilled about the place! We're excited to return!
The start of the journey...
Surrounded by nature...
And a few other houses...
Entry into a beautifully done remodel - a touch of openness to anyone's getaway...sorry for the untidy in the pics - not part of the cabin, haha!đź’ś

Can’t say enough about the house! You guys did a fantastic job with the decor and design. Upstairs bedroom is adorable with a super comfortable bed and we absolutely loved the bathroom!Debating on calling our realtor as we are looking for a place!Everything was extremely clean! In the summer with all the trees in full bloom, there wasn’t much view, but sitting on that back deck was just so nice! Downstairs was fun for the kids they loved playing need for speed on the game cube! :) fun little weekend trip, would 100% stay here again if we don’t look into purchasing it. Thanks for opening up your wonderful property!

Hey Jenna! Sorry you felt like you were being watched. I thought I had it stated there’s an exterior camera to ensure we can keep an eye on our property and that the correct guests enter when booking. For insurance purposes we have to ensure there are not large gatherings beyond what’s been booked as we could get in trouble ourselves. Hope you guys feel comfortable enough to stay again 🙂
