    Family getaway. The log home surely met our expectations. The owner has done a great job in providing comfort and created a welcoming environment with decor and newer furnishings. We loved the open-concept living area, and it kept everyone together, regardless of where they were in the house. The game room was a great add-on feature, and star-gazing in the hot tub was amazing. If you plan on using the kitchen or cooking, it is recommended to bring supplies such as paper towels, dish liquid, sponge, coffee filters, and like necessities (TP). Due to the nature of renters, checking cleanliness of pots, pans, plates, silverware, glasses before use is a good idea (several required cleaning before use). These we in no way show stoppers and we look forward to a future return.

    Weekend escape with the family was perfect. The home exceeded our expectations, awesome rental and surrounding area. The house was very clean and cozy. The bedrooms were perfect size and the master bath was an added bonus. Hot tub outside was super relaxing at night under the stars and outdoor fire pit had wooden stairs that lite up as you walked down keeping you safe.There was something to do for everyone in the family and plenty of room for gatherings. We would absolutely rent this home again!

    The property is great. The listing should advise that 4WD or AWD vehicles are highly advisable in inclement weather. Recommend owners stock the property with consumables such as paper towels, trash bags, dish washer pellets, laundry detergent and at least 2-ply toilet paper. These inexpensive basics would go a long way to making guests feel a lot more welcome, especially at this price level. The heat turned off our last night there. Since we were leaving that morning it wasn’t a terrible problem. It would have been a real problem if it happened earlier in our stay.

    Very inviting cabin. The hot tub was ready to go when we got there. Plenty of space for the 6 of us. We played pool and had a fire almost every night down stairs. Beautiful area and not too far to the supermarket for food and any items forgotten from home.

    This is a beautiful home, secluded & quiet, with a very relaxed vibe. We enjoyed being there with Family for our 40th Anniversary. Though it had all amenities listed, some things don't work or aren't well updated. Not as well stocked with basics (soap, toilet paper, cooking oil etc) as we expected...wish we had known to better prepare & provide our own items. No mtn view early Fall, too many trees/leaves block. Saw no bears though!!! Overall would recommend for quiet getaway, but do prep.

    Four friends and I enjoyed our time in the cabin. We particularly enjoyed the spacious kitchen (with every tool you could need), the hot tub, and that we each could have a room of our own. Playing fusball and shooting pool were a lot of fun. Oh and the stars there! It was incredible to see the stars at night there. (Most of us live in big cities.)

    We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. My family and I were celebrating my Mom’s 60th! However, there are a few things that could be improved upon. The place was not as clean as I would have expected there were dead bugs all over the counters when we arrived, but we chalked that up as staying in a cabin in the “woods” it’s bound to happen. The hot tub was not as maintained as we would have liked, and this was one of the things we were looking forward to MOST. When we arrived the water level was extremely low and water was not reaching the filter, we filled it up to the appropriate level but the chemicals seemed off as well. All the handles to adjust the jets were missing as well as one of the headrests to one of the seats. It was an older hot tub so my guess is the handles cracked over time and were maybe removed and not replaced. The upstairs was very WARM at night and was difficult to sleep. Overall, we made the best of it and my mom still enjoyed her 60th birthday in the mountains!

    We were looking for a place to meet in the middle for the Holidays. The cabin was exactly as listed. Clean, spacious and enough room for everyone to enjoy. Kitchen was larger than expected and fully stocked. We made 2 large meals and had enough plates and pots & pans. The lower level was a tad chilly as we ran out of wood for the stove but got a bundle at a local store. Beds were super comfortable. Bring some toilet paper though. Would definitely rebook.

    Overall a good stay for thanksgiving with the family. spacious and clean, definitely a cabin in the woods as the trees must really block any mountain views in the summer. The river is about a 1/2mile down the hill and we noticed that most of the riverfront was posted property. Needs an electric skillet, fixed foosball table.

    The house lived up to the billing. It was comfortable and extremely well kept. The kitchen was fully equipped and ready for culinary creativity. The seclusion yet accessibility to regional attractions makes it a great choice. The owner was very accommodating and accessible. Overall a great choice and one worth repeating.

    Google tried to send us to a different house, but luckily we arrived with enough light to see the correct house! Make sure you follow the ones given to you when you book! The pictures should probably be updated on the listing, but even still, we were not disappointed. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the master bedroom and bathroom! Hubby and I loved spending our 20th anniversary here and would love to come back with the family!
