  3/5

  This is a nice house but has deferred maintenance. No toiletries included in stay. Each bathroom had 2 wash cloths for 3 night stay and we had 2 adults in each room. The towels are like cardboard. Upon arrival the entry code would not work. The manager set code and it worked. Could not find remotes to TV’s. Batteries were needed ( manager brought) for a couple of remotes, we had 2 trash bags for entire stay. Light bulbs are out in several lights. These are all items the cleaning crew or manager should ensure are working prior to arrival. The water heater was froze when we got there. It thawed soon after arrival. The back porch was not cleaned. I should have read reviews… there is something wrong with the HVAC system. There is no way to regulate the heat in this house. Downstairs was freezing and upstairs was like a sauna. The guest book mentions this a lot. The summer would be miserable. I can’t imagine staying here during the summer. The game room is a nice addition. We managed to open both windows in 20 degree weather and stay up there to play several rounds of pool. We stayed here because it had a bathroom for each room and we had 6 people. It is convenient with easy access to the highway. The streets/roads to the houses are in bad bad shape. I think this is the norm. At least as long as construction is going on. This home needs more attention to detail. Sometimes it’s the small things that set you apart and help your guest overlook other forgotten items.

  Hi Catherine, we're sorry to hear that certain aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. The homeowner would like to address your concerns:
  - We work hard to stay on top of maintenance and wish these issues had been reported during your stay so we could have resolved them right away. We also provide an initial supply of essentials and would have been happy to bring more if needed.
  - The HVAC system functions properly, but adjusting the two thermostats differently can cause temperature imbalances. We reached out after the initial concern was raised but didn’t receive a response, so we assumed all was well.
  - The roads in the area experience wear and tear due to frequent traffic and weather conditions. A couple of years ago, we personally paid for repairs near our cabin, but ongoing upkeep is a challenge beyond our control.
  - The patio is cleaned before each stay, but because the home is in a wooded area, wind and natural debris can accumulate quickly.
  - We checked the lightbulbs recently, but after your stay, we noticed one had been moved, which may have caused it to burn out. We have since replaced all three over the dining table.
  We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve future stays.

• Such a beautiful relaxing place!

  5/5

  This year has been tough for my family, especially after losing my 18-year-old brother to cancer. He was an avid hunter who loved everything about the woods, so when we found this place, it felt like the perfect escape—familiar, yet not quite home. It had something for everyone, and the bonus? Every morning, from 7-9 AM, deer strolled right through which made us feel like my brother was their with us! To top it off, we had a personal Bigfoot sighting—he snapped branches and shook trees right through our camp, keeping the kids on edge all night! Overall, a 10/10 stay we’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

• Great getaway

  4/5

  This was a great short summer vacation. We stayed for 3 nights. On arrival, description of the location was accurate about the roadway. Be sure you bring an SUV/truck! Had a little trouble getting inside because the keypad code was not set up. Contacted the owners and they fixed the issue within 10 minutes. Property was very clean, only issue was a pair of underwear that was left under the bed from previous renters I’m assuming. Location was beautiful and peaceful, perfect for a summer getaway. Pool table, games, basketball court was more than enough to have things to do. Overall 4/5 stars, I would definitely reccomend to others!
