The place was a perfect size and deceiving on the outside. Plenty of beds and space for the family to sleep and hangout not being on top of each other like a hotel woul have been. The downfall was communication or the lack of it. When i messaged them about checking in late theyresponded with a checking out late email. I didn't get a code to get in until i called. This vrbo is ran by a company so its not very personal and difficult to talk to. They did have game and tv with roku but no internet. Definitely will not be staying here again or using vrbot receive a code to get in till i called them

No A/C unit was a disappointment but it was noted in description so can’t complain about that , location was good , not far from dollar general and boat ramp , description had said there was a dock to use but wasn’t up yet when we got there. But with 1 phone call to contact listed , they had the dock in the water the next day which was appreciated. All in all cabin had plenty of sleeping space , kitchen and table was also very roomy. We would consider staying in same place again in future , thanks
Preplanned trip before snow prediction. 2 couples have cottages in neighborhood but both were winterized so we decided to rent a house nearby. Rough travel going up but house was delightful. Clean and comfortable. Communication with owner was good. Easy entry. Would recommend. Plan on renting again.

This was a cute little cozy cabin. It did smell like smoke upon arrival. Also counters and stove was dirty. Other than that everything was accurate in listing.
