Communication was exceptional with the host. They were timely and friendly, even brought one of the people staying with us to get their car from the wedding venue we were at. The cabin was so cute and absolutely had that “rustic” true cabin experience. It was raining most of the time we were there so hopefully can come back and enjoy it another time when it’s not raining.

When we originally booked this property, it was listed as "Rustic Cabin." About a week before our stay, I went back to review the details and noticed the name had been changed to "Rustic Off Grid Cabin." Since we were staying for four days, I contacted Lyndsy to ask whether the cabin had a shower. I was informed that it did not, but that we could use the shower in her basement as an accommodation. Thankfully, we had family in the area and were able to use their showers instead.About an hour before check-in, I reached out to ask about the entry process and whether there was a door code or key. I was surprised to learn that there was no lock on the cabin door. This made us uncomfortable, especially since the cabin was located behind the host's property. We decided we would need to take our valuables with us whenever we left.Upon arrival, we immediately noticed a large number of dead flies and ladybugs throughout the cabin and around the portable toilet. Unfortunately, the condition of the portable toilet was also concerning, with visible human waste coming up through the blue liquid.The sleeping arrangements were also not as we had anticipated. Although the listing referenced two bedrooms, the sleeping areas consisted of a bed in the main living space and two beds in an open loft area rather than two separate bedrooms.Additionally, on approximately three occasions when leaving the property, we noticed a man behaving in a way that made us uncomfortable. Knowing the host was

I’m truly sorry your stay fell short of expectations. We pour our hearts into our small business and have received only 10-star reviews until now. Your review was heartbreaking, especially after your messages saying things were going great and the cabin was beautiful. I checked in several times, yet none of these concerns were raised. Our rustic, off-grid cabin has photos showing the open sleeping areas and loft. When you asked about a shower a week before arrival, I immediately offered ours. The door does lock; a padlock and key were above it, with instructions in the welcome manual. The portable toilet was serviced before arrival; it doesn’t flush, so waste remains between services. Our cabin is surrounded by nature, and ladybugs are common in summer and fall. A few may get inside despite cleaning. We would have gladly addressed this. I was saddened by the comments about the young man near our home. He has special needs and was spending time with family. I hope we can extend kindness to those who interact differently. As a fellow business owner, I’m sure you understand how deeply reviews impact small businesses. I hope this encourages communication before public criticism, especially when a host is available to help. Had you shared these concerns during your stay, we would have done everything possible to help. Rustic cabins aren’t for everyone, but we’ll continue putting our hearts into providing memorable stays for our guests. God bless you and your family.

My wife and I had a quick overnight stay in this rustic off grid cabin. We brought our boxer dog and had a great time walking some trails and just relaxing. The cabin has a clean outhouse and and the cabin was stocked with kitchen and bath supplies. We planned a simple dinner that could be warmed up on the stove, which was pleasant. We will plan on a other stay in the near future for sure.
