We were visiting our son who is in the coast guard. It was a great location to be away from the business but close enough to go to the beaches. It was also nice to visit the Tippy Dam. The cabin was clean and comfortable. It has pots and pans, cookie sheets. It has a coffee maker, toaster, utensils to use to cook with. Washer and dryer made it convenient. Outside has a gas grill or a charcoal grill and a fire pit that you can sit around. This cabin and place is very peaceful. You can hear the birds in the morning. There are a several places to sit and relax. I highly recommend this place in the woods ##### Brandy M.

The property had a grill, large fire pit, kitchen stocked with utensils, plenty of sleeping space inside, was located on a big piece of land that abutted to woods, and was nearby to some fantastic tubing. The owner let us setup tents outside for extra guests for a relatively small additional fee so we were able to keep the whole group together. She was also very pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend this property. ##### Derek J. ### 4/10 Poor #### joseph t. Jun 22, 2018 #### Rude owner. Not very comfortable home This is my first review after staying in several different Vrbo homes each year for the past 5 or so years. First off the beds comfort level was ok at best. The 1/2 a bath is great if you are less than 5' tall. The ceilings are low and have ceiling fans, so again, good if you are 5' tall. The cook ware was horrible. And a neighbor across the street had music playing so loudly I had to put ear plugs in (fortunately had some)....with all that being said, the owner of this property emails me a nasty email upon our checkout to tell me she was keeping $25 of my deposit because we didn't wipe down counters or do dishes....I told her we did do dishes as we were leaving and I didn't want to put them away wet as she has no dishwashing machine, so I left them in sink to dry. Can't remember counters being dirty, but probably did need to be wiped. I asked the home owner where her checkout policy was, she stated it says to leave place as you found it... That could mean a lot of things...such as do I make my bed, clean the floors, dust, windows...every Vrbo I have ever stayed in, except this one has a chart in cabin with check out policy...upon leaving I looked for a checkout policy, checked Vrbo for checkout policy and found nothing.. so I did dishes and tidied up and left.. next day I get a very unprofessional email about the cleaning lady having to do dishes... My suggestion is look elsewhere for lodging...this isn't the type of person I care to support....and honestly, I can care less about the $25, it was the way the situation was handled. I gave two stars as I honestly feel that is how this place compares to other VRBO homes I've stayed in. ##### joseph t. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian U.
