It was a place to stay. It had the basics. However, the heater didn’t quite make it to the rooms so we were cold each night. No wood stove was present. No dishwasher either. The house was to different from the photos. I know there was a statement saying to bad, but with how many things were different, it should warrant updated photos. The table was different, couches were different, carpet was different. Lights were different, no wood stove, no dishwasher. Oh, and the neighbors have a horse. Who doesn’t abide by the quiet hours. So at 3am each morning, we got to listen to the horse 5 feet from the window. Oh, and the deluxe package for 199 bucks. That was a joke. Maybe 60 bucks worth of cheap wine and candy. The “assorted” nuts were honey toasted almonds. The dozen roses were real, but the pedals on the bed were as fake as the listing. Total waste of money. We won’t be staying here again.

Loved the Mountain View and the outside sitting areas. Also like being just a short drive from town yet felt like we were in the woods with privacy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Did not see a hot tub? Was in the listing but we did not see one - but it wasn’t important to us.

Dark and dreary

No cell phone reception when we arrived. Office was closed but suppose to be open. Office was hard to find. Had to ask neighbor real estate building for help. Then had to use the real estate network to call. Outside cabin property is extremely awkward for seniors and toddlers. It was not described in description. Not stable. Inside dark and dreary. Took a long time to figure out lighting. Shower door on far side was useless. Uncomfortable. Difficult to get the water warm. Too many pillows.

Second stay with my family and it was wonderful

This was my second time staying here with my family and it was perfect. The cabin was well equipped and we didn't need to bring anything besides our clothes! I was able to cook all meals in the kitchen. The location was perfect and close to town but far enough away from noise to make a peaceful experience. Will go there again!

Lovely mountain retreat

Beautiful property and very clean and comfortable home. We loved the spacious second-floor great room with large windows looking out into the trees and mountains. Both bedrooms open onto the large front deck where we enjoyed morning coffee. The jacuzzi tub was wonderful after some long days and we were very pleased with the good quality cooking ware and well-stocked kitchen. Definitely hope to come back again.

Cozy, peaceful cottage.

Nice and comfortable place surrounded by huge pine trees. The decor was a throw back to the 70s, but I kind of liked that. Nicely equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds.

little get-away

Cabin is quiet and cozy-secluded area surrounded by trees- cabin a bit run down-remote control issues, no batteries or low batteries- damp towels hanging in bathroom-damp sheets and towels in dryer- kitchen and bath very clean Check-in would have been better at 3:00 and honestly too far to walk to town where you would have to walk on the main road without a sidewalk, unsafe.

My husband and I really enjoyed staying at this quiet cabin with views of trees out all the windows. The kitchen is extremely well equipped which was great as we cooked all our meals in. The fireplace was warm and cozy. The cabin was very clean and all the appliances and toilet are new. Couch and bed were comfortable. We would stay here again. 😁

Just exhausting

We were contacted about an hour before we were supposed to leave for our check-in that the original cabin was not ready for us. They put us in a different cabin that was not ready for occupancy. When we arrived at the cabin, it was 50° with only one heater in a downstairs bedroom and space heaters for everywhere else. When you turned on the space heaters it tripped a breaker, and the power went out. This happened several times during our stay, several calls were made, it took hours for people to respond to us. we slept downstairs on the couch without proper linens or bedding just to stay warm. The management team that ran the cabins for the owners were horrible. They really had nothing to help or any proper plan in place for any kind of event like this. Interestingly enough, the owner lived on the site where we were at and she was very helpful. This was not her fault at all. She tried to facilitate everything she could, and even had wood delivered for us, so that we could sleep our second night in warmth. The only thing that the property management offered us was a late check out. I requested to have at least the first night refunded to us, and after many go arounds and several email attempts I was told that I would only be getting the actual rental rate which is about 30% of what we paid for the one night. Again, although the owners were actually very helpful, upset about the situation and were nice The management company was an absolute joke, and did nothing for us , I had to call VRBO just to get a response and even then the owner called me back not the management company. It felt like a waste of time because for the 48 hours we were there we were either cold trying to keep the power on or on the phone there was nothing relaxing about this. I was told I would have an answer from the management company in response to my email within 72 hours, they played a game for two weeks each time stating that my email had gone into a junk folder. The odd thing about that was I was replying to an email that was sent to me from the management company and even called them out on that, so how would or could my email go into a junk folder when it was sent from them directly initially? Not worth the time to go there again and have anything like this happen again as long as that management company is running things.
