We had a comfortable stay in this cabin. Beds were nice, host laid out snacks, loved being in the woods! Definitely make sure your ride is capable of handling LOTS of pot holes that are unavoidable. The road leading to the cabin is unpaved and full of holes
This cabin was perfect for what we needed. It was clean and comfortable and the location was perfect for what we needed. Check in was easy and the kitchen had everything we needed so we didn't have to rely on eating out the entire time. There was a spice cabinet that made cooking a breeze. There is a grocery store right down the road and we appreciated all the little extras that were thoughtful and convenient. The beds are ridiculously comfortable and the only reason I gave management communication 3 stars is because I have emailed asking what brand the mattresses are and I haven't gotten a response.

Hi Camille! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay-we hope you come again! I apologize for the delay about the mattresses-they are from Amazon. They have a SakuraHome bamboo cooling extra thick mattress pad, the topper is Linenspa 2" gel infused memory foam topper and the mattress are Zinus 12" green tea cooling gel foam mattresses. Happy to hear they are comfortable!
Instructions for arrival was not given until we asked and then it was nearly an hour later. Stairs were sort of shoveled off but extremely slick and no sand. Driveway was super slick. No lights on the porch and late arrival instructions made for an extremely dangerous situation and dark entry. Slipping and falling several times. Had we had light, either daylight when we were supposed to receive the code or motion detection lights or simply a porch light left on, it could have been avoided. And i felt this was extremely negligent. On a positive note i was very pleased with the kitchen facilities.

We’ve also issued a full refund as a sincere apology for the challenges you experienced.
