May 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay in a cute location! Perfect but beware if you are a sensitive sleeper as the mattress on the queen bed is saggy and in need of replacing. Probably fine for 1 person but 2 people easily roll into the middle making for a not-so-good night's sleep. ##### Pamela S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel A. Mar 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect surprise getaway This was the perfect location to surprise my wife with a new puppy, the location was exactly as advertised, private lake and huge property only shared with 2 other cabins, when we stayed there was noone else but use so it was perfect. AC and heat worked great. Cabin came fully stocked and was plenty spacious for the 3 of us. Managing company Vacasa was very responsive when responding to our inquiry. Would definitely stay again!! My only constructive comment would be to offer a small burner for the kitchenette and to post more amazing photos of the cabin, I was almost expecting a tiny little cabin and was pleasantly surprised to see how spacious the cabin actually was, it has a full sized bathroom and very large shower too! ##### Daniel A. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Morgan H. Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The pond did not look like it did in the picture and it was a disgusting color and did not have a beach walk in area. There was also a bug in the refrigerator and on the floor by the refrigerator and then another bug by the garbage can and there was dog food from previous people that wasn’t picked up also thought it was ridiculous at 830 in the morning there was a mowing crew outside that was woken up to on my vacation and I took pictures of it ##### Morgan H.
