Rustic Rental
Up front I am going to mention that when we were in the rental the arctic freeze of 2022 hit and some of our issues were due to that unusual weather. Somehow we missed the fact that you have to go outside to access the 4 bedrooms. It is in the description so that was my bad. I would say this cabin is very rustic. Built probably in the 60s. I think we were the only one in the neighborhood. It has the old style wall heaters that can be dangerous and the owner asks they not stay own unless you are in the cabin. We were first greeted by a rotten pumpkin that had collapsed on the deck. Was told that the cleaning crew would turn the heat on. It was not done and temps were about 55 degrees. Also, there was food from the prior renters in the fridge. The stove was dirty and needed new foil on the burners. Called the rental management and they eventually got someone to come take care of it. Firewood is provided but you only get a small amount and you will have to buy more if you want it. We lost electricity and the owner wasn't willing to provide more wood. You could feel cold air coming from the plugins and doors. The weather stripping was hanging loose on a few doors. Boards had fallen from the 2nd floor on the outside of the house and insulation was exposed. Owner requested us to let the water drip which we did but pipes still froze. We didn't have water for 4 days. I believe the pipes could have been better insulated prior to this happening. It burst where there had been prior work on the plumbing. We ended up leaving early. Owner did agree to refund a PARTIAL of a days rental.

Fantastic views! Relaxed environment.
Very comfortable property for a family gathering. Plenty of space, chairs, and bathrooms. Easily sleeps 10. Has every pot, pan, serving bowl, and appliance ready in the kitchen. Smaller kitchen and range/oven, but entirely fine for our family gathering of up to 10 adults.

Beautiful Rustic Cabin in the Woods
Gorgeous views from a rustic family cabin in the woods. Cabin was equipped with everything you need but could have been cleaner. A few deferred maintenance items were small annoyances.

Perfect spot for our family reunion. Tight kitchen but we worked it out with no problems. Enjoyed the lazy susan table and the porches with a great view. Oh. Bring toilet paper!!

A good place to stay if you have a dog with you
Easy contact with the managers, easy check in and check out. Since bathrooms are shared, should have door locker for privacy

Great mountain getaway
We stayed there with the in laws for a week it was in a great location with beautiful views and tons of things to do in the area. The layout of the house was a bit goofy, but we would definitely stay there again.

Just Ok
Got kind of lost trying to find this place. They say to use map quest instead of google but who uses that anymore and it’s not accurate either. Would be nice if they gave you written directions from the main road. The house needs the number in a more visible place. It’s on a post behind a fern once you pass the driveway and there is nothing that says what road you are on. Even the people who live around there didn’t know where the road is. Cabin needs a lot of updates. Very inconvenient getting upstairs and downstairs. That ladder access is nuts! No AC so with a lot of rain the mustiness is really bad. Downstairs bedroom set up is really weird. All the products to get rid of the dampness were full of water. Really needed to replace those before anyone rents. Floors were dirty. Had to replace some lightbulbs. Most of house is really dark. Beautiful views and kitchen is well stocked. Great location once you find it. Would not recommend for older people at all.

Quirky and comfy
We has a nice time at this cabin over Christmas. The listing was accurate, but we underestimated the inconvenience of the outdoor stairs. It was very hard to move around in the rain and late at night. The living area was cozy with the big sofas and the fire. You do feel like you are in someone else's home, as there are personal items and photos everything - which is unusual for a rental. The kitchen was really well stocked for baking, but the oven had some issues and there were some burned dishes!! We loved using the big porch and the fire pit across the road. We did not love the noise from the bedrooms - when you are downstairs, you can hear every step upstairs. The owner was very responsive with all our issues.
