Totally worth it
The location was rural which was what we were wanting. Our last cabin rental was right downtown so this was perfect. There were three bedrooms and two baths. There was a TV in every bedroom which was awesome cause my husband and I like to unwind watching a little TV before we go to sleep and a large TV in the living room, there was a gas grill available outside that we used, an amazing front porch with lots of seating, 2 coffee makers, a Keurig and a regular coffee maker, microwave, stove, and refrigerator. It was very nicely decorated and very comfortable. We loved our stay and if we travel to that area next year we plan on trying to rent again.

Mountain Getaway
This cabin is very nice and was clean. The large front porch was perfect for hanging out on a rainy day. It is located in a beautiful area on a large hillside lot. However, there was an obvious lack for detail. There is no place in any of the 3 bedrooms to place your luggage which was awkward, the grill was missing the handle so we didn't use it, there was a towel rack in the main bathroom that was about to fall off the wall and the grass was a foot tall. There was 4 coffee pods with the coffee maker and the house was rented to 5 people for two nights. Overall this is a great house and I will definitely consider renting it again.

Great stay!
This is one of the cleanest and best maintained rental properties we’ve stayed in. It was quiet and comfortable, and had all the extras that we usually have to buy like laundry and dishwasher pods, even some coffee. We enjoyed the gas grill, the porch, and all the deer that came and went. Would highly recommend!
It was a beautiful property. It felt like home away from home.

Perfect for family
This cabin was even better than the pictures, which are very nice! Great layout for our family. Several areas to tuck away in, or large ling/ dining room open space to enjoy together. The porch! The porch! The porch! Just perfect ! We ended up relaxing more on the porch than doing other adventures because it was so relaxing. Everything was perfect. Very clean, nice private neighborhood and the river is nearby. Will be returning!

First log cabin stay
This cabin was a clean,spacious, family friendly located in a quite subdivision. My elderly parent found the single level layout easy navigate. Plenty of outdoor activities close to explore and the lake was prestine. Lots of shopping close. We very much enjoyed the lighting bugs display right after sundown. It was like Christmas trees lit up! Thank you for sharing your lovely pet friendly home with us.
