Pros: - Overall, this is a cool cabin (note, it's a side building separate from the main house) - Close to town, - The size of the room/kitchen/bathroom was just fine for a quick weekend stay - The shower is amazing (one of the pumps with liquid did not work) - Communication with the owner was fantastic - Easy to get into - Plenty of parking in the driveway - Clean - Kitchen was basic, but had what we needed Cons: - Probably the worst mattress I've ever tried to sleep in (very squeaky). We also tried to sleep on the couch and that wasn't any better - and we can normally sleep anywhere - the entire bed set-up should be replaced if you're renting this out as a place to sleep (it's fixable) - The deposit was outrageous - there was a charge on my credit card for a very large sum of money for 3 months (when I booked) - our stay ended on 9/21 and I still won't get the deposit back until 10/5. The owner says he has no control of the deposit amount.

Loved the cabin. We would have enjoyed a TV for the evenings and wished the corner fireplace worked but it was overall enjoyable, clean, and was satisfied.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication
Was not pleased with this property for several reasons: the mattress is terrible, old and very noisy for even the smallest move. Extra pillows are heavily stained yellow. The kitchen area is not pleasant, not like the picture on Expedia, and no room to prepare anything. Utensils are more loke a collection of stuff from the drift store. Only a small table with damaged, shaky chairs (not safe). There is a sofa, but no coffee table. Lots of spider webs. 5 bulbs burned out. The bathroom area is the only decent place. Shower big, and nice. Worst: besides being not cheap, Vrbo actually charges several thousand and call it “hold” when in fact they charged it on my credit card account on 8/1/25 (booked room on 7/31/25 and according to Vrbo they will only refund it on 9/4/25! I had to physically pay the hold (a credit hold reduces the available credit on your card). Also, it will take 1 ½ months to get the credit, caused by the billing cycle. All this makes this property a no go for me for the future

Great little apartment awesome location

Loved the location and definitely a cute apartment perfect for a couple wanting to have a relaxing vacation in Lake City. The only complaint I have is there were some stains on the sheets/pillow cases. They did not appear to have been cleaned prior to us arriving(or the stains just didn’t wash out). We had our own pillows and blankets so it worked out okay. The wifi wasn’t working but we hardly needed to use it anyway. Also the shower temperature got relatively warm but not as hot as we would have preferred. Which is odd because the sink water got very hot. Overall would definitely stay again it was a great week in the mountains!

Great small place for a visit to Lake City

Property is as described. A very clean studio with an oversized bathroom and a small kitchen perfect for us. Kitchen was well stocked for basic cooking. We had a couple cool days and we’re able to keep the place warm with the two radiant heaters. The main source of heat on the thermostat - a gas fireplace - was not connected. Easy walking distance to town. ATV rentals across the street. Thanks owners!

This property was clean and well-located. However, communication from the host was limited and he ignored my request for an earlier check in. It was a chilly and rainy weekend in Lake City, and the gas fireplace heating unit was disconnected from the gas line. There was a small space heater which was insufficient for the unit. Water in shower was warm but never hot, and ran out after one shower. The kitchen mini stove/fridge (one unit) was unplugged, and there was a sign warning not to run more than one kitchen appliance at once, or it would trip the breaker. There was an instruction on how to access the breaker in case this happened, but the 'man and dog painting' that the breaker was behind was not a man and dog painting at all, but a modern print. Confusing. All in all disappointing for a place that we paid over $600 for 3 nights.
