This is our second year staying here, and we just love it for our family! It is very comfortable, the location is perfect and communication was quick. We will be back next year!
The house was great and clean. The Wi-Fi is the only complaint no service out there. Other than that it was a perfect weekend.
Loved the place thanks for everything! Would highly recommend.
Cabin was nice. The air conditioner had a hard time keeping up with the 100+ temperature. We had no cell service at the cabin. That was troublesome when trying to navigate or find a restaurant. Really did unplug for the weekend.
When we arrived, there was NO toilet paper in the main bathroom.!!!! According to info & instructions left for the rental when WE ARRIVED—they supply 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom (2), 1 roll of paper towels, 1 bath towel & 1 washcloth per person.—-that information would’ve been VERY USEFUL in advance. Also no kitchen towels, no hot pads, but we did find a kitchen dishcloth in with the washcloths. It is listed that the couch in living rm & basement were fold out—but we were unable to find sheets or blankets for these. Unit did have extra bed pillows, but no pillow cases. I HAD DONE A LOT OF SEARCHING FOR A VRBO THAT WAS ADA ACCESSIBLE—-so was extremely disappointed when we arrived & the WALK IN shower was located in the UPPER loft —that would require you to climb over 15 steps.!!! It would’ve also have been nice to have a bedside table with lamp, next to the beds. ( beds were very comfortable), It is a great laid back place, but would’ve not rented due to the walk in shower location.
No Wifi, which is listed. At least with Verizon, almost no cell phone coverage. So if disconnecting with outside world is part of your intent, then perfect.
Very nice cabin, perfect space for a 3 night getaway with our friends. Beautiful land that surrounds the cabin, love the nature! We all enjoy visiting the wineries, this was a great location and would definitely come back!
This was the perfect place for our family for a weekend of hiking and wineries. Communication was wonderful from the beginning. The house was perfect for my husband and I and our two kids and their spouses, and 9 month old granddaughter. Everything we needed was there and felt like home! Thank you so much!
Our 2nd time staying here, overall nice setup, very peaceful, needs a little TLC, but would stay here again.
All was great! However, we wish there were lights on both inside and outside when we arrived. It was extremely dark at 10:00. We noticed we did not have cell service the whole trip. It was a beautiful location and the cabin was extremely clean.
