    5/5

    It's a beautiful, secluded place that has everything we were looking for in a vacation spot. Even though it rained most of the weekend, it didn't dampen our stay. The privacy and ease of access to the fishing and swimming area gave us peace of mind and we were able to relax and have a good time. As an added bonus, we went looking around and found some amazing historical sites that we had no idea was there. Everyone had a wonderful weekend and we all want to come back to this cabin again!

    We loved the rustic feel of the home and the unique decorations throughout the home.

    Beautiful front porch overlooking the river.

    House was not clean - spider webs and wasps throughout. Kitchen cabinets were dirty. Door knobs didn’t work. Boards on deck need replacing.

    Manager's Response:

    Cynthia, thank you for providing your feedback on your Thanksgiving stay at our rustic lakefront cabin. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and I'd like to address some of the points you raised:

    I was personally at the cabin that morning for the final check and everything seemed to be in order. We had completed a thorough cleaning days before your arrival, including floors, windows, and appliances. However, I understand that expectations may vary, and I apologize if the cabin did not meet your anticipated standards.

    Regarding the presence of insects, especially during November, it's not uncommon for flying insects to seek warmth. We strive to manage doors effectively, but occasional intrusions can occur. Our heating bill for that month was unusually high, and we appreciate your understanding of the efforts to maintain a comfortable temperature.

    I also want to highlight that we were not made aware of these issues during your stay. We encourage guests to reach out to our designated contact for prompt assistance with any concerns. Your comfort is important to us, and we regret any inconvenience you may have experienced.

    I'm aware of the deck plank you mentioned, and we plan to address this issue during our scheduled maintenance in Spring. The doorknobs, being antique, are meant to be opened without twisting, and we will work on better communication to avoid any inconvenience for future guests.

    We value your feedback and take it seriously as we plan to perform a deep cleaning and assessment during Spring Break to ensure the cabin is in top condition for the upcoming season. We appreciate your understanding and patience. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

  • A good place for a little get away.

    A good place for a little get away. Loved the big porch with a nice view of the water.

    So I am currently staying here for a work trip for three weeks and this place is outdated!! The owners of the house DO NOT ANSWER their phones it’s flea invested and roaches and it’s not worth the price! They need to clean it immediately!

    Hi Joshua, we want all of our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we're sorry that you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
    -We're sorry you weren't 100% satisfied with your stay
    -We have pests sprayed on schedule twice a month to keep the area maintained to ensure a clean, comfortable, and great environment
    -The home is always cleaned before each check-in, including steam cleaning the floors. We do a thorough walk-through before your arrival and didn't see any cleanliness issues
    -We send a welcome text three to five days before check-in to our guests that include cabin update, activities, restaurants, and shopping within the surrounding area. We provide guests with great hospitality and are responsive to your requests and questions
    -Regarding the response times and communication, the guest's contact information is listed in the pre-stay information to address any concerns quickly for a most comfortable stay. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we were at a funeral and were unable to respond promptly to your concerns. We apologize that the communication fell short
    We go above and beyond for our guests and we are confident future guests will have excellent stays! Thanks again for letting us know about your stay!
