Lovely, retro feel, close to campus and town. Wooded property, beautiful views out windows, private deck, wood burning fireplace. Saw an owl! Fishing very nearby but not exactly lakefront. Shower is excellent, kitchen has everything

This was our second weekend at Cabin 3. We love the fireplace, the low key, unobtrusive host, Tom, the quirky vibes, and the woods! Our dogs love being there and Tom doesn’t charge a ton of money for them to stay. The cabin was well equipped and we saw a large barn owl perch for about half an hour just beyond the bedroom window!
Outdoor plug was great for charging our EV!

If you're looking for a five star all inclusive resort, this is not the place for you. It's a charmingly rustic cabin tucked back in the woods. I've seen the negative reviews complaining about the random vehicles parked about or sheds sitting here and there and to be honest it made me want to book it even more. The cabin was PERFECT. The host, Tom, was so welcoming. You feel like you're in the backwoods somewhere but you're only a minute from town. We throughly enjoyed our stay and our only complaint was that it wasn't long enough. If you're looking for something different I highly recommend this lovely little place!

The cabin was cozy and in a great location. I loved all the artwork and decor. The host was friendly and available. We enjoyed the fireplace and the firepit. I would note that it only has one bed and a couch as the listing says it sleeps 4.

Unkept and Need Improvement.

Early check in was allowed. Property was scattered with junk/ trash on both sides of road driving to cabin. Broke down truck parked in road way. Cabin was filthy, yard was over grown and littered with discarded items. Cabin had not been deep cleaned in years. Owner was super nice, but obviously unable to maintain upkeep. Cabin skirting was lying on the ground, so any critter/ animal could come in. Light fixtures were covered with dust and cob webs. Mice were running from room to room. Basically expected a lot more from the pictures. Not what I expected for the amount paid. Sadly, will not be staying at this location, again.
Work need on the exterior.
Skirting not secured to prevent unwanted visitors.
View from the porch. Junk truck parked in road.
Trash under the porch.
