It was a great location between the Highlands and Clayton. We also love the Highland outpost. We had recently had a house fire and needed something last minute and it could not have been more perfect a much needed mini Vacay.

The place was great and clean and well stocked. However, the kitchen sink leaked all over the counter and the tub leaked into the bathroom floor.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect home to relax and enjoy yourself. Robes for out of hot tub and heating lamps for when you get out. Nice surprise...kitchen was stocked with all the cooking essentials. Beautiful home and is better than description.

Very quaint, quiet place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and, even though older, was very well maintained. The age of the place added to the nostalgia.
