Sep 7, 2025 #### Great vacation rental house! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very clean, loved the wrap around decks with gates to keep my dog in. Beautiful view. Stocked with all the necessities. Thanks 👍 ##### Jennifer D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Johanna A. Aug 13, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness Property and location was great. Manager was responsive and helpful. Cleaners neglected to clean the dog hair from the cabin. The manager was apologetic and did give them a very small amount of money back. ##### Johanna A. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne O. Aug 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This cabin had everything we were looking for. The gate on the wrap around deck was a huge plus with our dog and small child. The area was quiet and beautiful. Loved all the windows and doors we could open to the outside fresh air. The furniture, sheets, towels were all comfortable. We had access to an empty pantry and big closes. I think the mattresses were new, the king mattresses were extra firm so we did have a bit of a hard time sleeping on them. 100% would rent again. ##### Suzanne O. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025
