    Love that the property was fenced and had great games and toys for kids. Not just a rental property but people sharing their home.

    First the queen bed mattress was bigger than the box spring. Kept sliding off the bed and there were king sheets on the bed. The yard needs work, we had to keep taking burrs off our dog. It would be nice to have an access to the river. Also a picnic table so we could all eat together outside. We had to move the couch and it looked like no one had ever cleaned behind it. The tv area was nice and there were plenty of cooking utensils.

    It was such an amazing place to stay at. The deer were in the front yard so my kids were able to feed them. The creek and wheel were just up the road. Our family loved it so much.

    Cockroaches dead on oven, dead scorpion on floor. Not sure what the $90 cleaning fee was for. Bedding is OLD and gross. No air conditioning in MASTER bedroom; hence was 94°. Ended up leaving after 12h. Owner unwilling to compromise.

    We had a nice time. Our dogs loved the creeks. We did have to drive to get to water, the creek close to the cabin had no water at all, but our dogs loved the yard and the oversized lot next to it to run. I would definitely recommend this location to families.

    We have stayed here perviously and had a great time. This time around didn’t disappoint! Plenty of space for the kids, with wildlife everywhere! The rooms were clean, the beds were comfy, and the kitchen had everything we needed! There were great hiking trails nearby with plenty of spots to fish & relax, and a trip into town was only about 20 minutes away. Can’t wait to stay here again!!

    We had a great experience. There was plenty of room to hang out and sleep without feeling cramped. There were 6 adults and 2 children and we had a great time, nice amenities and quiet neighborhood.

    We want to start off by saying the host were very nice and communicative. The cabin needs some work though. The window to the front door was broken and the lock on the back door was missing buttons. The upstairs was cute and had lots of games but just wasn’t clean. There were multiple dead flies, dust on the fans, and a duct taped chair. We did leave a day early because we felt very congested and sneezy every time we stayed upstairs (which is where the tv and master bedroom was)
