Everything was great until I stepped on blob of black hair in the shower. That is yucky!! Location was good and sitting on the deck was such a nice view. I’d prefer blinds or thicker window treatments in the bedroom. JS! On a scale of 1-10, I’d say 9.5.

Wonderful way to relax and connect

I loved that the cleaning crew takes care of the laundry and cleaning. We loved the pool table and games. It was a perfect retreat. 20-25 minutes from civilization but that was ok for us. Kitchen had everything we needed to make food.

It was absolutely Heaven staying in this cabin! My husband, my 27 year-old son and I stayed for 4/5 days and had more fun than I’ve ever had on vacation. The house was perfect, it was perfect for our dog, and everything was where it was supposed to be. In love!! We are looking forward to staying here again.

Quiet forest getaway

The home was comfy and nicely equipped. We had to wipe down the table and chairs on the porch to use them, but the woody setting and the sound of the creek at the bottom of the hill made relaxing easy. Having a pool table was a great add for our teen, but we've been in homes with more games if you have more of a family focus. It's about 15-20 minutes from town, but if you're looking for a getaway, it's perfect. We enjoyed our stay!
