• NOT RECOMMENDED - Mold!

  1/5

  Can’t give zero stars, I tried.

  Could smell mold immediately upon entering. Definitely in the full bathroom. We kept windows and doors open as much as possible, child with allergies slept in another part of house.

  Shame on people who do not disclose mold!!!

  Additionally, it wasn’t until we are already on the long drive there that we read about a tree down, covering most of the front area of the house.

  That tree is dried and has been down, covering some of the driveway and a broken fence as well as part of the walkway, making it narrow to carry stuff through, for probably a year or more, which tells you how well they really take care of the place.

  Very nicely decorated, missing some basics like olive oil and vinegar, basil, butter. Nice towels, good bed, but why put so much into making it look nice when the air in there is barely breathable?

  NOT WORTH THE MONEY

  Hi Michael, we appreciate your feedback, and we are committed to providing an excellent experience for our guests. Here are some insights from the homeowner:
  -The cabin is situated above a lake, which can occasionally lead to moisture and a faint musty smell. We take great care to ensure the cabin is thoroughly cleaned and maintained in top condition before each guest’s arrival. As our vacation home, it receives ongoing upkeep and attention.
  -Concerning the tree in the yard, a severe storm with 85 mph winds swept through the area just two weeks before your arrival. Our records show that the guests were informed nearly 24 hours before their check-in. The removal of the tree has been closely monitored on a daily basis to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests.
  -Due to the extensive damage in the area, our tree removal was prioritized last. We scheduled the tree service to perform the removal when guests were not present to prioritize their safety and ensure an undisturbed experience at the cabin.
  -Regarding the expected items such as basil, olive oil, vinegar, and butter, these are not typically provided. However, we do offer a daily supply of coffee, various types of sugar and cream, and a selection of spices for our guests' convenience.
  -We make it a priority to check in with guests shortly after arrival and again the day before departure to address any concerns or issues promptly. We regret any inconvenience caused and encourage guests to communicate with us during their stay to ensure a pleasant experience.
  We strive to ensure that every guest enjoys the best possible stay, and we eagerly anticipate hosting many more satisfied guests at this property, as evidenced by our other reviews.

  5/5

  This was an awesome place for our family. We were able to cook and enjoy family time. All of the space is usable and relaxing. It's about a 25 minute drive into Centre College. It was a great place to come for graduation.

  It was very clean with no strong fragrances-a huge plus!

  5/5

  This was a lovely home overlooking a lake. It was cute and comfy. One guest stayed in the loft over the second bedroom. The stairway up is steep, so it is a good idea that a fit person be the one to use this space. Also, be aware that the full bathroom is attached to the Master, so the timing of showers for others needs to be planned. We enjoyed the deck and the sunporch very much!
