Our stay was good.
Our stay was good. It was easy to locate the cabin, the lockboxes and get inside the cabin. Everything we needed was there. The cabin was clean and the people in the neighborhood were nice. Very good
The cabin looked just like the pictures on the website.
The cabin looked just like the pictures on the website. This was my first time cabin rental and I was so pleased with my choice. The hot tub was so nice and the view was gorgeous. It was close to so many places we wanted to visit. It was a very peaceful stay. So many favorites! The view from the cabin windows and porches. The perfectly heated and clean hot tub. Beautiful, open interior, and comfortable furniture/beds inside the cabin. The quiet atmosphere day and night. Seeing deer and birds during the day and all the stars at night. I even saw some of the meteor shower which would be hard to see in the city. I would love to rent this same place next year. Helpful and friendly. Easy and quick communication. They were so eager to help me find a cabin and always available - just a phone call or text away!
