Charming, but had issues. Enjoyed our time in the area.

We loved the beautiful area and hiking opportunities. The property was charming, but had issues. The beds were the cleanest of the home. The toaster oven was not clean. There were crumbs in the kitchen cabinets. There were cobwebs on the bedroom ceilings. There was a used toothbrush cup in the bathroom. There was a shower scrunchy with a long black hair in the shower. I emptied a dishwasher full of clean dishes before we used it and folded a dryer of clean laundry before using. I texted the host at 409pm 6/28/25 to inform that I folded the dryer laundry and left some clean kitchen items from the dishwasher on the kitchen counter. I did not know where some of the items went. I never heard back, and the text on my end was sent without issues. We left the night before checkout to check on an elderly relative. If you want to unplug, there is very slow internet service and we had no cell service. I texted from my iPad, and it was sent. Everyone we texted from our iPad received, so I feel like my message to the host was likely received. We followed all checkout instructions. We took our trash with us as instructed.

Beautiful Setting, but Cabin Was Not Clean or Well-MaintainedBeautiful Area, Some Cabin Issues

The location of this cabin is excellent—quiet, wooded, and close to some of the best hiking and mountain attractions in the area. The neighborhood is peaceful, and check-in was straightforward. The owners were communicative and tried to assist when problems came up.However, the cabin itself was a disappointment. While the beds were made and linens were clean, the overall cleanliness of the cabin was poor. There was dust and cobwebs on walls, light fixtures, shelves, and other surfaces throughout the cabin. The kitchen dishes were dusty and several bowls contained dead bugs. Every dish, pot, pan, and utensil had to be washed before use. Additionally, the outdoor deck was dirty and covered in debris, and there were cigarette butts left in ashtrays on the deck and scattered around the yard.The gas fireplace did not work during our stay. The owners responded quickly and attempted to help us troubleshoot the issue, but it turned out to be a problem that only the gas company could fix. Unfortunately, that meant no working fireplace for the duration of our trip, which was disappointing given the cool weather.All that said, this cabin has potential, but the state of cleanliness detracted from our experience.

Quiet getaway for the family

This was our third trip to this cabin, and it did not disappoint. We like the wide open spaces for our family to gather together inside or outside. The hosts are always quick to respond if we need to reach them for any reason. We usually go in the early spring, but I am glad we waited a little longer this year to allow the flowers and trees to bloom, because it is a beautiful area.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin has great potential, however the bathroom downstairs needs to be updated. I will say, there’s great water pressure in the shower. The kitchen lights didn’t work over the sink. Would I stay there again? Yes I would.

Very cozy cottage with wonderful hosts

We had a great time in the last slice! It was a great home to reconnect with family we hadn’t seen in a while. Very charming and easy to feel at home. The hosts have been amazing. Very kind and easy to communicate with. I left some shoes and my kids toys at the cabin and they are willing to mail them to me which is so kind! My only feedbacks are I wish it was just a bit cleaner. Specifically in terms of dust/cobwebs. Additionally we used the grill provided (we had to bring charcoal and lighter fluid, no problem!) but I wish there would have been tools to use on their grill. There were no tongs and only a plastic spatula. I d fed up flipping burgers with a large metal spoon and a fork. Not. Major issue..but also a simple fix.

Great spot in the woods

Relaxing mornings waking up, making coffee, sitting on the porch and listening to the birds. Fire pit was a great place to tell jokes and hang out. And the hikes nearby were all amazing. Everything we needed out a cabin
