Cabin is in private area. The road leading up is winding mountain road paved then last section is 1 way unpaved. Place was clean, with a creek running nearby. It needs some work but is great for the price range you can't find a lower cost with this kind of privacy. And options.

Cabin is cute and we had a nice weekend. 3 stars is because we were looking forward to the wood stove in the bedroom and it was not operational even though we stayed here in February. The shower was a little rough. Shower curtains on both sides cling to you the whole time you’re in the shower. Also, Vacasa Rentals is who you have to communicate with regarding your booking, and you will get nothing but AI generated responses from them. Overall, cute cabin and good location.

Very cool place! Everything is just as it says in description. Very comfy cozy. Very clean and private. My only suggestion would be to install a tub/shower unit. I know the claw foot tub is nestolgic, but its not really practical. Overall we loved the place. The road leading into property REALLY needs work!

Loved seeing the old photos and antiques. Lots of character. Most of the 'flaws' come with the territory of renting an OLD cabin. However, the mattress is very worn. We enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

The next door neighbor (or owner’s shed not sure which) has a pile of trash with old dog crates , plastic bins, stove, refrigerator, among many other items in clear view. (Where the tractor is in the listing photos.) You see it from the windows in the living room and on the deck. The outside no longer looks like the pictures. It needs to be cleaned, the deck has busted and rotting boards with screws sticking out ( we easily pulled one out because we kept tripping on it), two of the chairs are rusty and peeling paint, just a basic sweeping would work. The side door frame had been kicked out (… I unfortunately didn’t read all of the reviews and noticed this happened in May of 2020.) It has not been repaired instead a door lock wedge, a hinged lock with a stick in it, and two door stoppers are used to keep it from opening. The inside was fine. The fridge has been updated and it was nice to have cable. There were 2 rolls of toilet paper for 4 people for 8 days. It could be a lovely setting with a few tweaks. The little things like the toilet paper and broken wood stove etc wouldn’t bother me but with everything else its too much. I do not recommend.

This is a true Rustic Cabin in the woods off a good dirt road that was very clean and had exactly what you needed. I was disappointed the wood burning stove didn’t work as that is why I chose this cabin.

It’s a quiet location and very cute. However some of the furniture could be replaced as in the bed and the couch. However it was very much needed to get away and unplug from time to time.
