Jul 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cabin The house was wonderful. Staff worked with us after an accident caused us to be delayed. Will definitely stay here again. Loved the deer that visited every morning. Peaceful place. ##### Timothy G. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### India C. Jan 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Time! The property was lovely. Communication was excellent. Slept 10 comfortably. We brought our own groceries and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make everything we ate during our stay. Check in and check out went smoothly. There’s tons of board games, a bonfire, and a jacuzzi on the property. The only thing I would say is the property is in a neighborhood and quite close to other homes. So if you’re looking for something secluded, consider that. ##### India C. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin B. Oct 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Cabin like Feel and Plenty to Do This was my first trip to this area and this house was a great rental and much more fairly priced than most of the others I looked at. We had a rough check-in because the door keypad died, but I was able to get in contact with the rental agency fairly quickly and they had a secondary provision to get us in. There was plenty of space and a nice firepit area. We enjoyed the extra space in the garage and street-side parking - the driveway is VERY steep and narrow so it was nice for some of us to park next to the street. The house is also in a nice community and it has access to a pond, 'park' type grassy area, and a river with picnic tables - however, we got hassled by the gate guard almost every time we came in which was very frustrating. Overall I would rent here again, especially at the competitive pricepoint. ##### Kevin B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Denise F. Jun 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house! House was exceptionally clean, well stocked with some extra supplies (toilet paper, garbage bags, etc) and plenty of activities for kids and adults alike. Only downfall would be if you had anyone in your group with mobility issues. We did not, but the house is not set-up for anyone with walking issues nor wheelchair. The driveway is also very steep, albiet concrete...and the neighbors are very close and permanent residents who are not keen on having a short term rental nearby. Overall we loved the house. So if you have no one with mobility issues and do not mind close neighbors, the house is a fantastic option!!! ##### Denise F. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott V.
