Extremely clean! We wondered if it had recently been renovated bc it’s so clean. The host was extremely helpful and responded quickly. (We had trouble with getting it unlocked, but he solved it quickly.) I would recommend for a quiet, restful getaway.

The cabin was clean, very well equipped and in a nice, peaceful & quiet gated neighborhood. We were there during the snow stiorms & freeze & lost power, Bobby was reaponsive and engaged to get the right service out to the canin and ensure repairs were done. Wonderful experience overall!

We never met the host and were not bothered by anyone, even though there was a house beside us........... we felt secluded. Nice home, hot tub was relaxing and the fire pit was perfect to sit around.
Crisp fall morning

Fireplace would not cut on pilot light not workingCouch bed and queen bed were hard and uncomfortable to sleep on grill was dirty had to clean before we could use

Susan we tried to get someone out there to fix the fireplace but it was thanksgiving so we were unable to. We also gave you a refund for the inconvenience. The maintenance man went out there later and found that just the pilot light needed to be lit, easy fix. We have spoken with the maid to check the grill is cleaned for future guest.

The 2 wooded acres gave me the impression of seclusion, so I wasn't expecting the neighbors with the chickens to seem so close. I was uncomfortable with the back porch being in line of sight with their top and bottom floor windows but over at the hot tub, you can't see the windows or the house. Inside was exactly as the listing photos, everything was neat and tidy. The kitchen had everything for our stay, and I was thankful to find resealable bags and foil in a drawer while prepping dinner! I was impressed with the kitchen knives; this is the first place I've stayed at that had sharp kitchen knives - making dinner prep a breeze! The king bed was very soft, giving the sensation of sinking into it and being cocooned. The bathroom adjoining it was tidy with plenty of linens but there was a gray ring around the bottom of the tub that I couldn't remove with the all-purpose cleaner I brought, so I had to abandon my plans for a bath. The cleanliness of the hot tub was initially a concern as we scooped out some light debris & the water seemed cloudy. We showered before entering and didn't feel slick or gross when we got out. It was so relaxing in the hot tub, and we enjoyed our time in there. We didn't have time to utilize the fire pit, but there was plenty of wood supplied. Overall, we enjoyed our night there, and I'm thankful for the time we got to steal away and spend together for our anniversary.

Hi Kristin and thank you for your stay and for your review. We have discussed with the cleaners to make sure the hot tub debris is cleaned out and the PH balance is correct so that the water is not cloudy. This will be corrected thank you!

This was the perfect place for my needs during my two-week stay! The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, ovenware, silverware, and dinnerware--AND wine glasses! The only thing lacking were steak knives, but there is a knife block with carving and paring knives, which we used. The hot tub was clean and ready for use when I arrived. The grill on the back porch functioned properly and was a handy tool for grilling burgers, chicken, and steaks. The morning and evening temperatures were marvelous for sitting on the back porch in the morning and front porch in the evening. We enjoyed watching the family of deer come trotting through the side property down into the yard and across the street. The walking trail is directly behind the house, easy to access, and the shade keeps your midday walks cool. Next door, we enjoyed meeting our friendly neighbors and their barnyard animals and dog, Rocket. The bedrooms, located on either side of the family area, are quiet (the master bedroom is huge and offers direct access to the front porch without having to go through the living area) and the sound-proofness of the log walls keeps the outside sounds minimized. The only issue on arrival was the gate code had been changed, but Bobby responded quickly to that. Attempts at getting the front door lock to engage were unsuccessful; maybe the battery needed replacement. Luckily, someone was always home, but this is a gated neighborhood and it felt very safe. Beautiful home & surroundings!
