Pet-Friendly Cabin w/ Fire Pit, BBQ & Great Deck!

Reviews

• Cute but odd.

  4/5

  This Pet-Friendly Cabin was very cozy. It is in a woodland neighbor of cabins, but it feels very secluded. Nobody was at the one cabin that we could see. The weather was cool while we were there, so we enjoyed a campfire outside and one in the indoor fireplace. The cabin was decorated by someone like my grandma who was obsessed with bears and apples. The cabin is a short stroll from a lake with a beach. Although our overall experience was good, there are few negatives. First, there are no doors on the bedrooms! Why would you rent a place without doors! Second, the furnace is in one of the bedrooms! It's not in a closet or whatever; it's actually in the bedroom. For many visitors that might not be an issue because they visit in warm weather. When we were there, there were frosty nights and the furnace kicked on every few minutes. Lastly, there was NO information--I mean not one word--about the neighborhood. The cabin is in a private neighborhood but they don't tell you what the neighborhood rules are. They don't let you know whether guests are allowed to use the beach and other amenities, and if you can, what the rules are! I could have attempted to contact the host, but that is an inconvenience for answers to such obvious questions.

  5/5

  Charming decor and solid furniture. Lovely screened porch and deck. Micro kitchen—smaller that we expected but we’ll-equipped. Bedrooms also smaller than expected. Beds were good.

• Sweet cabin

  5/5

  This is a rustic, perfectly well outfitted cabin. Had everything that we needed in the kitchen. The beds and the couches were very comfortable. Bonus points for the well water being really soft and tasting good. It’s a sweet little spot. So grateful it is pet friendly!

• Family fun cabin

  5/5

  Adorable cabin with a central location to see everything in the Pioneer Valley/ Berkshires/Greater Springfield areas. The cabin is perfect for playing games, fishing, exploring the nearby lake and state parks or just plain relaxing! Be sure to bring marshmallows for toasting in the fire pit. Enjoy!

• SOOO DISAPPOINTED

  2/5

  Location was not quite as remote as we hoped and the pictures are deceiving.

  For the money, it was not what we expected.

  Main problem was after arrival it was difficult to reach host with any questions. Repeated texts and phone calls and he finally responded. He was very nice but just not available.

  We had no satellite signal for TV. So there was no way to watch movies or TV.

  Cleanliness was mediocre at best & certainly not worth the cleaning fee. Many lightbulbs in lamps did not work and batteries were dead in remote. Outside chairs and tables were filthy.

  No wood for firepit.

  We left after 3 nights and we had booked for a week.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Anne, We were sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay. After going over your feedback, the homeowner wanted to follow up on the items that you mention:
  - Travelers can see the property location on the listing map before they book
  - There are only neighbors to one side of the cabin. The owners don't spend much time there, and they weren't present during your stay
  - The owner did respond to your questions about the TV via text/phone in a timely manner
  - The satellite was out due to the poor weather, which is of course outside the control of the owner
  - The cabin is thoroughly cleaned & sanitized for each new guest
  - They also check the lights, remotes, DVDs, etc
  It is not advertised that the owner provides firewood, but they do supply durologs for the inside fireplace and starter sticks
  You told the owner that you were leaving early due to a change in plans, and they wish that you had let them know about your concerns instead! They'd have been happy to help however possible so that you could have a great stay at the cabin.
