    The cabin was everything that was depicted. It was comfortable and we felt very much at home there during our stay. The property was peaceful, private and enviting. The views from the back patio were very impressive of the valley below and the mountains for many miles. We also met a few of the very friendly neighbors while out walking. A great getaway yet close to many activities that we were able to experience in the area.

    The view out the back of the cabin or off the back porch was spectacular. The cabin was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. We came to the area for hiking and there are many miles of trails within 10 minutes. We hiked at Cloudland Canyon State Park, the Ascalon trails, and the Zahnd tract — all of these were great. We also found plenty of good restaurants nearby. We would definitely go back.

    The location is nice. However, the property itself is dated. The owner had left the a/c off and it was 81 degrees inside when I got there. She wanted to interrupt my vacation to install a new hot tub. The biggest issue was that I told you I wanted to cancel my stay and get a refund because I found other arrangements and she refused to give me a refund even though I never stayed there.

What a find! The mountain views from the deck and the cute side yard are stunning. We saw a rainbow 3 days in a row from the top deck, this cottage is truly our pot of gold. We plan to return and we HIGHLY recommend The Buzzards Roost, what a gem!

    The photos need to be updated. The photo of the swing on the brow shows a new swing. The actual swing is a lawsuit waiting to happen. The flooring and other upgrades have taken place since the original photos. The main downstairs bathroom had a new sink basin installed but the actual sink spout should have been longer to prevent water running behind the bowl. The hot tub is actually not working properly by cutting off prematurely with also the temperature setting was way off. Can you say mold under the cover after lifting it? The contract sent by PDF file also needs to be updated concerning the pet policy. On the agreement it says 25 when actually the site says 75. The property owners aren't to blame but at 8:00 on a Sunday morning there was a chainsaw and construction going on less than 100 ft from the side of the cabin in a newer home. This also created a privacy issue on the one and only time we tried to use the faulty hot tub. Lattice or other means of privacy may need to be considered. All three days of our stay, there was activity right beside the cabin. No fault of the property owners. Overall it was a nice getaway but I believe all property photos, descriptions and policies should be kept current.

    Very nice place. Very clean. Great View from the deck. Easy road access. Although it has room for only one vehicle unless you park on the looped driveway. There is one turn between two trees that would be very tight for a large vehicle.It was a little difficult to find the key where it was placed. The directions were clear but I misinterpretted the location of where they were.There are several steps to go up to the cabin. watch the first rock that leads to the stairs. it wobbles a little. the rock placed under it had slid out so i replaced it and it was fine then.There were plenty of towels for use with the hot tub. The hot tub was great and offered a fantastic view. The house next door is a little close but there are trees to somewhat block the view of the hot tub from the neighbor. So if you are shy ....LOL..If travelling with another couple (we were not) note that the main bedroom IS a loft and open to the downstairs. It offers a wonderful view of the sunrise and you can see forever across the valley through the huge windows.The kitchen is small and tight but very usable with all utensils supplied.Overall, it was great place to visit. It had a few quirks but they were not near enough to outweigh the benefits. The owner was easy to contact and pleasurable to speak with.
