It was a nice location in a residential type of setting. This home is set back behind two other homes so it's secluded. The area is very beautiful and peaceful and great for walking.The house seemed cleaned and the beds were very comfortable. TV, wifi and plenty of movies! Now for the bad stuff...one bedroom had a window AC unit, but the window was completely open above the unit. It was odd. You're on the second story but it was unfinished. Otherwise, there were 4 vehicles parked at the property. It seems one person lives there full-time in a unit off to the side. He has a dog and was a nice man, it's just we didn't expect him there. We arrived later Friday night and Saturday the owner and a friend were there most of the day. We introduced ourselves to one another and they were friendly. I believe they spent the night in the attached garage overnight. Again, this was very odd and just made us feel like we were being watched. We used the kitchen for simple breakfasts only and cleaned up Sunday morning and departed. Overall it was a comfortable stay. Until Sunday afternoon when we received a phone call from the owner stating there were a lot of problems with the home after we left. He claimed the kitchen counters were all scratched up and that a wall area was full of scratches. After I explained to him how I didn't think that was even possible and I asked him for pictures showing the damages. I received an email with a $1500 invoice and he's never responded back to me.
Enjoyed the cabin, would stay again!
Seth was a great host and the home and grounds were lovely and very relaxing. We would definitely stay here again.
Advertised hot tub, which was not at all. You can set it up & not have to heat it much in these hotter temps. We had anticipated the water fun the most. Place has mold, termite, & damages to the interior. Needs some major Love. Painting & work in the bathrooms, to upgrade to a better rating. Very hot in bedrooms, offers a window air unit downstairs only, small fans up stair well & even fans in rooms, were not enough. it was 105 degrees w/e. Very hard to sleep. Dead bolts on windows & main kitchen doorway so no access to escape in case of a fire. Bathroom rugs & Refrigerator, even outside furniture was dirty. Expired food in shared refrigerator & cupboards. Nice idea to share between guests, however, you should clean it in between? Also sponge in Kitchen sink, should be used & replaced for each group of guests, even bars of soap need replacing per group of guests. Notes on displayed items were comfusing & offensive about ((not using)) & making our own walking sticks. B
Our stay was great, our host went above and beyond making sure we were happy and comfortable during our stay and also accommodated us for my birthday, even went above and beyond helping us out while we were leaving (clearing the snow covered road for us) :) I would recommend this place, we will definitely be back to this cozy cabin nestled in the woods! Thank you Seth!
Very cozy place. We had a great time.
Very mixed review for this property.... The location is amazing. The house is very clean and has great supplies for cooking, lounging, etc. Very large TV and excellent WIFI. The radiant heating floors are luxurious and the wood burning fire place keeps the place HOT! The rooms are good sized which is nice. One of the bedrooms has a REALLY squeaky bed. Luckily we only had our 3 year old w/us and there was a futon couch in the same room, so we had him sleep on that instead. We specifically selected a property with a hot tub but given that it was late December and cold, it was having a hard time getting to temperature and wasn't ready our first night. Seth did however put some bucket heating elements into it and we were able to use it our second and third/last nights there comfortably. Our big concerns and warning to others is the lack of privacy. I had read another review that said people were living in the attached garage. I asked Seth about this before booking and he said the entire Cabin House was private, but that other people including himself lived on the 2.5 acre property. We were fine with this. However, our second night at 8:45pm we heard someone drive into the driveway and then heard a lot of banging and voices coming from the attached garage (which had the door into the kitchen but had been blocked by a room divider so we hadn't tried to open it and assumed it wasn't for guests). My husband grabbed a knife and we thought someone might be breaking in. Luckily we called Seth before 911. We woke him up and he said he has an art studio and they were doing a supply run. He then texted me a screen shot of the instructions he had sent me the day before our arrival date that noted that he would be on the property doing routine maintenance and sometimes was in the downstairs studio. This conflicts with what he originally told us. And also not what I would expect to be doing routine maintenance at night. It also would have been nice if he had called and given us a heads up that people were going to be in the house/garage. There would be 2-4 bangs every 10-15 minutes like they were building something. I went to bed at 10:30pm and could still hear it. I woke up at 2:04am thinking someone was knocking on the door but it was just the people in the garage. They left the following evening around dinner time and it was quiet. This was very off-putting. Also the curtains in the downstairs are sheer though upstairs are solid and private.
Great cabin in great location, away from all the hustle and bustle, but not far enough if you crave the hustle and bustle. We wanted to spend some time in the snow and Seth recommend we drive up about 20 miles from where we stayed, and there was plenty of it. A lot of great local establishments just a short drive. A big bonus was the commodity that we all can’t seem to leave without this days, GREAT WiFi, that makes posible all the streaming services in the middle of the woods while the fire place is going. The cabin had everything you need, toiletries, silverware, towels, pots and pans, TVs, and plenty of board games. All in all we had a very nice time and looking forward to come back. Thanks for the hospitality Seth!
Impressed by the pictures..sadly not what the property looks like. In addition, the master toilet leaking sound, the noisy master bedroom fan and the very slick staircase. The pictures show a vast deck...the deck was full of parked cars. Many other inaccuracies.? Seth did give us a later check out time..this was due to the check in process problem
The house was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the jacuzzi. The location was very tranquil.
The snow was beautiful. Seth was very helpful!
