Mar 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Country Getaway Natalie’s property was the perfect family getaway from the city. We really enjoyed walking out the front door to fishing, canoeing, and nature walks with the kids. Saw plenty of wildlife (deer, beaver, ducks, turtles, etc.) right on the property. The cabin was very clean and well appointed with cooking and cleaning essentials. The only things that weren’t apparent from the listing were that the third bedroom is only accessible through the studio bedroom, and the owner had to come pickup a liability waiver in person. Mentioning for other traveler planning purposes. ##### Shannon M. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeri S.

May 16, 2018 #### The cabin was really nice and well decorated My family and friends had a great time there, Nataliya was so nice and accomidating. It was very peaceful and loved the fishing...I would've given it 5 stars, but the only negative things were the lack of wifi and a good phone signal...other than that it was great...looking forward to going back. ##### Christopher M.

My colleagues and I were in town for business and decided to stay here so we could enjoy Mother Nature and have time to work together after client meetings in the evenings and over the weekend. Our husbands joined us for the weekend, and we all had a wonderful time! Nataliya was kind, responsive, and accommodating! :) ##### Wendy R. Y.

We really enjoyed the huge family room with the ping pong table. The lake (with canoe) was awesome. Everyone was able to catch fish! We would come here again - very quiet and peaceful. ##### Kelly L.

We had a great time, there were 12 of us and the house was perfect. Plenty of room for everyone and everything was clean. Nataliya was a great host, always responded to all my questions in less than 10 minutes. The kids enjoyed so much they wanted to stay longer, we are definitely planning to come back soon. ##### Rafael V. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janio L.

We had a group of 6 in town to visit family living in Palestine, a 20 minute drive away. We hosted a birthday party, watched Saturday football, and ate in every meal! The property more than adequately held our family group of 11 for our gatherings. Sleeping arrangements were more than adequate. I suspect the house would sleep 12, maybe more, people comfortably. The house is very much like a cabin. My kids said it felt like going to camp! The owner was tuned in to our every need, making our stay very comfortable. Thanks Nataliya!! ##### Jill B.

Jun 1, 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Misleading Listing and Unsettling Experience My family and I stayed here for a getaway, and unfortunately, it was by far the worst vacation rental experience we’ve had. The host called at 8 PM asking if we had arrived. When we got there, a car was parked in the bushes, which made us feel uneasy. Within 10 minutes of entering the home, we heard arguing outside. Then, after 10 PM, the host knocked on the door unannounced, requesting we sign a paper waiver, list all family members, and review house rules. She also began questioning our intentions, including whether we planned to have a fire. It felt invasive and entirely unnecessary at that hour.The back door didn’t properly lock—it only had a chain at the top, which still allowed it to open a visible gap. The home had visible dust, spider webs, heavy mold in the coffee pot, and stained blankets. The upstairs AC panel was locked at 73, which was not disclosed. There was also an outside security camera that was not disclosed as well.The listing claimed 4 bedrooms, but there were only 3 true bedrooms—two connected—and the extra space was not private. The “many acres” were completely overgrown and unusable. Furniture was outdated, and gave the home a neglected, tired feel.Other guests have raised many of these same concerns, which unfortunately we overlooked and the host’s responses were combative, snarky and unprofessional. We came for a peaceful and private stay, but instead experienced late-night confrontation, privacy violations & safety concerns. Do NOT recommend. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/551f90da-75a8-4ffc-ae9d-e8169d40be82-1748745693320.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/12e8c259-6d23-4faa-a9b0-dd6647687d6c-1748745693241.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Karen K. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Catherine J. Mar 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Good and Bad We had a wonderful birthday weekend for my husband's 70th. There were some wonderful things about the property, pros and cons.Location -- wonderful! Secluded county estate, but close to Jacksonville and Palestine.Things to Do -- We fished daily from the pond. The younger members went kayaking on Lake Palestine. We all enjoyed the ping-pong table. There is also a volleyball net, but no volleyball in sight.Check-in -- Very stressful. The owner would not give the gate and door codes until noon on the day of check-in. Since we live 3 hours away, I wasn't able to tell my other two parties the specific information until AFTER they had started the journey. Then, the owner showed up about 5:30 to pick up the liability release. That made me see how distrustful she was of us. At midnight, my granddaughter was awakened by a car, shining its lights on the house. She was actually frightened that someone had breached the gate and was coming for us. I'm sure it was the property owner. But, really? Supplies: The kitchen was great. Everything we needed. We were told not to use the garbage disposal. Well, why have one? (It worked fine.) The towels were thin and old. It took us lots of looking to find the extras. No washcloths! No tissue boxes. We went to town to get those, plus more toilet paper. Features: The master bedroom and all the baths have lots of built-in shelves. Perfect for a traveler! I loved this feature. There were lots of great beds, so the teenagers didn't have to share. ##### Catherine J. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jacob F. Jun 14, 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Realist review Pro's and Con's - Owner needs coaching on customer service Pro's -Owner was very responsive every time we messaged even late past midnight -The ONLY property available for the amount of people we had stay (14 - 7 adults, 1 teenager, 6 kids all seven and under) -Plenty of space and beds for a large group -Secluded -Comfortable beds and pillows -Was able to maintain the temperature at a low degree downstairs (i like it cool so this was very important) Cons -Description says they keep the property "Immaculate". This couldn't have been further from the truth. Dead bugs in almost every light fixture. Vent filters looked like they hadn't been replaced in a few years. They had layers of filth on them. -Leftover trash included: razor blade in the shelving unit in the wall that was in the kitchen next to the fridge, mcdonalds cup and straw in the cupboard, leftover baby chew toy under bed upstairs, plastic wrapping on banister upstairs as well as dead bugs behind beds. -Upstairs thermostat has lock box. Owner came over once and turned it down upon request but left it on "auto" and not "on". She never came back to adjust when she said she would. -Owner requires you to sign a waiver upon arrival, even wanted the 2-3 year old names (odd IMO). -wifi very unreliable (understandable in the area) -no smoke alarms or inoperable. -listing mentions access to balcony but the door is blocked by a couch/listing says can't move furniture -no hot water in downstairs shower (also very short) -other 2 "showers" are more like tubs with a shower wand -dust and cobwebs very much present especially upstairs Owner was pleasant at first but as soon as I expressed my concern with the cleanliness, wifi not working, hot air she said if I wasn't happy then why don't I just go somewhere else. She said "you said the property was nice when you first got there". I arrived, scanned the place, and left to get groceries. Came back and unpacked then started noticing the details. She also thought it was normal for a door to still open from the inside when it was locked. We had kids and this concerned us. They did say they would be willing to replace it but we told them not to worry about it and we just put the freezer in front so no kids could get out. She said the hot water was a maintenance issue and wouldn't be able to be resolved until after the weekend. When I told her about the wifi not working she said it was working fine when she was there. Much more could be said but this only allows so many characters. ##### Jacob F. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Michael S. Jul 6, 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### DONT PAY TO STAY IN BROKEN DOWN BARN/SHACK! My wife and I paid to stay here for 3 nights for our anniversary and couldn’t even last an hour. Like I always do, I notified the owner of our arrival. Oddly the owner messaged back pressuring me to sign a legal liability waiver that she had waiting for me and demanded that I send her a pic of the signed form. I never had to do something like this from my multiple stays at other properties. We walked up the steps and instantly noticed animals living under the house because there’s multiple holes all over the bottom of the house. Also numerous amounts of wasp nests lined the entire outside perimeter of the house. Then we walk in to unpleasant smell of mustiness. Probably due to the animals harboring below. The AC unit is severely outdated because there’s multiple window units around the house to try and assist it. The floors are ripping up to where the whole place is uneven and can stub anybody’s toes or cause someone to lose their balance. We walked into the kitchen and were greeted with 20 flies by the sink. The furniture is all mismatched and looks like they literally picked them up from the side of the road or was donated by a thrift store. The TV was a tiny 16in sitting in a 8ft tall wooden entertainment piece. The propane grill had no propane tank provided. The charcoal bag that was left only had enough charcoal in it for 1 cookout. All of the blinds are mismatched and filled with dust and cobwebs. The green ones by the back door looks like someone with a lot of anxiety kept looking thru them and ruined them. I briefly walked the property. There is no back yard. It is all inaccessible brush. Theres a trail around the pond but that’s all I could find. Of the 114 acres, I felt like I only had free access to 1 acre. Definitely not an ATV friendly area. My wife then started suffering a severe asthma attack. Due to this we instantly had to leave to get her some relief. As soon as we left the property my wife felt instantly better thank goodness. I notified the owner and she showed no concerns for my wife’s health and instantly accused us of having cov-19 so she can avoid any subject of a refund. How many years is she going to getaway with the “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” excuse? She needs to seriously renovate the property and stop offering it to the public. It is unsafe for children as well as adults. I’m just glad my family made it out alive. ##### Michael S.
