Beautiful cabin, Amazing location!

The cabin is gorgeous! It's even better in person, the pictures here do not do it justice. The grounds are beautiful and the location has so much to offer! We enjoyed our stay so much, that we plan on going back again this year and probably twice a year every year going forward. This was our 5-year wedding anniversary trip and it was absolutely perfect.

Disliked: Check-in

check in was delayed

The only thing that went wrong was we didn’t have the code to get into the house and we waited two hours after original check in. The email from the owners was never received and they were unaware of this which created the problem because the contact person was not returning our calls.

Hi Jaime, thanks for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during check-in. We send our guests an email with all the necessary check-in information three days before arrival, and it was sent to the email we had on record. We understand that you no longer check that email, which contributed to the issue. Despite the limited cell service in the area, we responded immediately once we were made aware of the problem and worked to resolve it as quickly as possible.Thank you again for your feedback. We hope you consider staying with us in the future!
