  Great cabin. Clean and exactly as described. Close to everything and still very quiet.

  I'll list the pro's and con's first and then the full review:

  Pro's: Great location, Well maintained hot tub, Quiet, Spacious and Cleanliness (this comes with some exceptions)

  Con's: Like everyone said before, the internet is very spotty, cleanliness in key areas (Fridge, bathrooms tub/showers, laundry room), finally the major issue management for problems.

  The main issue that we had was that the refrigerator was broken. We contacted the listed contact for problems and mentioned the refrigerator wasn't working when we arrived. There were condiments left in the door and the cleanliness was not present, we were told the fridge was cooling due to cleaning...no. Now we bought food to help with the cost of vacation and lost all of it due to the refrigerator not working. This made it where we couldn't do some key things that we wanted because of the increased food costs that came with not having the ability to cook what we bought. The other main issue is we lost out on doing some stuff due to the increase in money needing to be spent on eating out instead of on fun family activities. Finally, instead of waiting for us to leave to deal with the broken fridge the owner and management company made us return with a 20-minute notice to the property to let them in and service the fridge. Everything was already lost and again it took time out of doing something instead we had to drive back and wait around then leave again. This too cost gas money and time. We got a late-night text from the managing contact that we now have to go through the management company (evolve) to get a refund for the food we lost, and we might be blocked in with a new fridge arriving during the morning, the time could have been adjusted to after 10am check out instead of during. But a apology for your wasted time and loss of family fun... that doesn't matter, just better luck next time. Also, I have not received a refund yet and it has been over 10 business days. Do not rent from this property the owners and the management is only out of the the money and don't care.

  The cabin itself was great, but a few things could have been better. The pans are junk, scratched up and mostly unusable. The rest of the cookware was good. The fridge could definitely use a good cleaning/bleaching. The wifi was hit and miss. The basement was like a freezer while the main floor bedroom was quite warm. It was a great place to stay and being at the end of the road made it very secluded. Also, the furniture and beds were very nice and comfortable. Our only wildlife at the cabin was a box turtle lol

• Nice for multiple familys

  4/5

  The cabin is nice if you have more then 1 family staying togther because it has seperate upper and lower living spaces so you have your own privacy. We enjoyed our stay very much, but they need to pay more attention to cleaning and maintence issues. I understand it is in the mountains, but if you needing internet, this not the place because it is weak and very spotty when it wants to work, but overall this is a nice cabin.

• The pictures do not do this place justice!!!

  I booked the wandering bear for my son’s 8th birthday and we had an amazing time. Seriously the place is beautiful and the host provided so many amenities to make our stay as comfortable as possible, even little dog treats for my moms dog. The place was also SPOTLESS. Not even a speck of dust, and with that much wood, it was impressive. I will absolutely book again in the future.
