Cute place, super easy to find and check in. Was a little disappointed with the cleanliness of the property. Several light bulbs were burnt out in the upstairs bathroom, towels/ laundry seemed like they were just throw in the cabinets and closets, not very organized.

I booked this cabin about 9 months in advance, and I really wish I would have waited so I could see the most recent reviews from August 2026, because they were the most accurate. The location and check-in/out process were really the only high points of our stay. The floors were dirty, beds were dirty, light bulbs were out and still hadn't been changed even with prior reviews commenting about it, same with no hand soap; there was a women's swim top left on the floor upstairs, and my 6 year old son found a vape sticking out of the couch cushions. Absolutely horrifying. I did bring this to the hosts attention, and she was kind, but after reading past reviews, it appears she is kind to everyone with a negative review as well. I truly hope the cleanliness changes. I would not recommend this cabin to anyone I cared about because of how dirty it was. The host gave all the information needed for our stay, and mentioned getting a different cleaning service for future. Reviews speak for themselves.

Stay went well but we did struggle with the thermastat within the house. When we arrived the house was very cold, but we were told it should be set at 72 degees. We did try resetting it multiple times but the temp never got above 70 degrees.

Overall the property was excellent and in an excellent location to the nearby resort waterpark in which 6 waterpark passes came with the rental. The only minor negative comments are:1) Some items that could use an upgrade are the bath towels and wash cloths in respect to the cost of the rental. Most if not all of the towels in the rental could use of an update with new towels. They were no kitchen towels either that we could fine but had to use paper towels. Also some of bedding could be upgraded as well. Most major hotels have far better items in regards to the items I have mentioned. 2) The dryer did not spin when it ran. Therefore the clothes did not dry at all. We were there only 2 nights so this was not a major concern to us. 3) At least under one of the main floor bedrooms needed cleaned under it. By accident we happen to look under one queen bed and there were items that should not be under the bed. But overall the rest of the cabin amenities and main tv system were great and we do recommend it as a good cabin/home to rent.

This property was being used by 6 women for a girl's get away. The first evening that we were there realized that we were going to run out of toilet paper, there had only been 1/2 a roll left in each bathroom, we were also out of hand soap, that was also left with only about 1/8 of the bottle left in both bathrooms. I reached out to the owner 3 times asking where we could find more, with no response. We had to get up at 6 a.m. the next morning and go to the store to buy more toilet paper and hand soap. I believe for 625 a night with cleaning fees this should have been provided! The cabin was no clean when we got there, we found some garbage under beds and the rugs were very dirty. The sheets and comforters had hair on them that was not ours. We tried to wash the dirtiest bedding but the dryer doesn't work. We dried it 6 times and it was still damp. Upon check out there was an extensive list of things for us to do and clean....most are standard, but the one that I found unacceptable was we were to wash and put away all of our dishes. We used dishes for breakfast that morning and no one was going to wait for the entire wash cycle to be done so we could dry them and put them away. We pay 100 a day cleaning fee for that. We left the dishes on the wash cycle and left, which is the standard at many VRBO's. Terrible communication and supplies...would not recommend.

Great Family Vacation

We spent a week with 6 family members in the cabin and had plenty of room. The water park passes were appreciated since we had a couple days of rain. A couple things were in need of repair but did not affect our stay. The gas grill is in need of some repair to the burners but we managed to use it just needed to watch flames. The cabin is in a great location within walking distance of the water park and restaurants.
