• Memories at outdoor paradise

  5/5

  It was a great place to unwind and share fun time with our family.

  All the extra special places in the cabin with the swings and patio sights and places to relax were AWESOME.

  Some of our famiky saw a dear come up in the back with one of her babies.

  We wished we had more time to just enjoy nature and time to relax.

  No complaints from any of us.

• Not bad not great

  3/5

  Decent stay at best. Probably won’t return. Nice layout and lots of room. The bedrooms were large which is a necessity for our growing family. The location of the cabin was also nice. Then cons were that the furniture is worn. Kitchen sitting area is not comfortable at all. The day bed swings were absolutely filthy and gross so we did not use that area at all but we were excited about it when we saw it online. The porch swings were incredible. The outside patio area is really large but a 19” tv for that area is a little embarrassing. There was no remote for that tv either. The upstairs entertainment area was also exciting online but a real let down when we got there. That tv had no remote so did not use that. The video game, Pac-Man, did not work and the shuffleboard table was too worn to enjoy. All that said, we brought our own games and the cabin is comfortable for the most sake. Contact with the host was something I was nervous about but she was awesome and answered our every need. Even when we were not in need she checked to see if we wanted or needed anything. We enjoyed our stay for sure but value for our money does carry some weight and this cabin needs some work to achieve that value.

  Hi Marc, we take it seriously when guests let us know that we missed the mark, and after sending your feedback to the homeowner, they’d like to share the following:
  - Our listing reflects the layout of the home, though we’re sorry if this caught you off-guard. We pride ourselves on being transparent and accommodating to all guests and would have been more than happy to walk you through the exact layout of the home before you booked.
  - We use local, professional photographers to make sure that the listing photos correctly reflect the property, so the features you see on the listing are accurately advertised, and guests can decide before booking if the home meets their expectations.
  - Unfortunately, the PAC Man machine was found to be unplugged after your stay. We also would have been more than happy to check the remotes if you’d mentioned it when we spoke to you during their stay. We could have quickly resolved your concerns.
  - Thank you for your insight. We appreciate the feedback so we can continue to improve and provide guests with the 5-star service we are known for. We hope to host you again soon!

• A Beautiful Escape

  5/5

  We came for a quick getaway with friends, and I was blown away from simply driving up. A beautiful cabin set “high in the pines” with 360 views that will take you out of your usual rut. You can’t find a spot without good scenery. With lots of people, there was more than enough space that was thoughtfully laid out with abundant natural light. The living room boasts high ceilings with lots of comfortable seating, which was perfect for our large families. The kitchen is beautiful and perfectly designed for cooking/entertaining. Our families enjoyed the hot tub, and the large game room with tons of options for kids of all ages. The spacious bedrooms come with the most luxurious bathrooms! If the inside wasn’t perfect enough, we enjoyed the outside fireplace, dining area, and the outdoor nook that was much loved by our group. This cabin offers a fun and elevated experience we will definitely come back for!

• Awesome Family Getaway!

  5/5

  We stayed for a weekend, with two other families, and had a wonderful time! Cabin was suited very nicely to accommodate the whole group (14), and was great for the younger kids and older kids alike. Spacious and well-stocked kitchen (lots of pots, pans, etc.) made cooking for the group a fun & convenient experience. The multiple decks and patios outside made for cozy spaces to relax, and to just enjoy the peace of being in the piney woods. Kids enjoyed going down by the fire pit & stream. Beds were super cozy and bathrooms were luxurious & clean. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. We will be back!

• Beautiful home but lacks maintenance

  2/5

  Very beautiful cabin, was clean but noticed that the bottom floor was warmer than the top. We dropped the temp on the lower floor and noticed that nothing happened. The bottom vents were only blowing warm air. We attempted to call the number provided but the individual would not answer, after sending a few emails the cabin host finally answered and said they were going to send someone. The issue was not resolved during our stay. The bottom floor was very warm and the bottom two bedrooms were way over 80+ degrees. My family members that were staying in bottom floor were sweating all night long. We looked over the balcony where the ac units were and you can tell right away that one of the units have not been functional for a very long time. The entire unit was full of spider webs inside and pine needles. Another thing is that the breaker from the hot tub trips very fast when used. Upon arrival it looked like the refrigerator was just turned on and did not fully cool until the next day. We lost some food due to the refrigerator not being cold enough.

  Jose, we want to make vacation rental easy for everyone, and we're sorry that you experienced some issues during your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  "Hi Jose, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your stay did not go as smoothly as we would have liked but we would like to clarify a few things in your review. 
  -"As soon you let us know about the A/C, we did have our maintenance person come by to verify that it was working as it should. It was confirmed that both the system and cooling fan were in perfect order. After your departure, we went in as well and verified that it was still cooling.
  -The A/C units are outdoors and with the location, it is common for pine needles and other outdoorsy elements to find their way on them. We can assure our guests this does not affect the functionality of it at all.
  -We wished you would have let us know about the hot tub when we visited to address your other concerns. We would have absolutely had a service tech come as soon as possible to check the breaker. They typically do not trip unless too much water has escaped the tub as this can cause a trip to avoid the pump motor burning up. We recommend that guests do not splash water out of the hot tub or treat it as a swimming pool to keep it from tripping. We checked out the hot tub after your visit and as soon as it was back up to full capacity, we did not have any problems. 
  -As for the refrigerator, like all refrigerators, they can take several hours to cool after being stocked full from empty, especially with items that are not already cool. The refrigerator does work, and quite well.
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests."
