    Host was very communicative and helpful. The cabin itself is a charming time capsule and was very functional and comfortable.

    Great location at the edge of the woods, but also close to the pool and lakes and state park. We loved being up in the trees, and the home had everything we needed - plus it felt like a home, not like a soulless corporate vacation rental. It was a delight! Plus we came with our dog to escape the city fireworks and we didn’t hear a single one. And my toddler loved playing with his trains on the deck. He actually told me to sell our house and buy this one so we could live there all the time.

    We loved our stay at Robin's cabin. It's well loved and lived, which makes homey and cozy. Definitely not one of those sterile vacation rentals, where you feel right away, the owners are not using their own place. Yes, the carpet could have been cleaner, especially next to the fire place.We loved the discovery of the forrest trail to walk our dog, just a few steps up the road.

    A little confusing getting from the main road into the property but directions given were great. Cozy cabin with room for more people than I had. Perfect to get away and disconnect from the world. No cell service but WiFi worked great.

    Our overall trip was wonderful. We appreciated the coziness of the cabin and the surrounding property. Our kids loved walking around with our dog. We took advantage of Big Trees State Park as we as the brewery.

    Dark photos hid things like carpet padding coming out from the floor in the upstairs bathroom and a very dusty and very lived in space. This felt like I was in someone else's space a bit too much. Pots and pans had many caked on stains and grime so we microwaved everything and ended up buying paper towels and paper plates.
