Anniversary
First time staying here! Love the quiet serenity of this location! Our senior pet loved the view out the windows. We are looking forward to returning to explore more of this location as it was too easy to stay in the cabin enjoying the snowfall and its beauty! Thank you, Shannon and Nick for a wonderful stay!

Relaxing holiday getaway
Wonderful quiet place to spend a few days in the woods during a very unseasonably warm winter period. Plenty of trails to explore on the property. Thoughtfully decorated. Love the size of the cabin. Perfect for 2 people and a dog. Would even be good for 4 people. Appreciate the extra touches like a fenced in portion for pups. Hot tub under the stars was a bonus. Thank you!

Great Christmas Escape!
Communication was great with the owner!If you like to cook, plan to bring some kitchen towels and pans. What was there was a bit "used." We read all the reviews, and they are pretty spot on. The cabin itself could use some updating, but for our Christmas getaway, we really didn't pay too much attention to the aesthetics. The outside steps that lead to the fenced-in area needed some good cleaning because they were very slick to walk on. They had some Christmas decorations up which made the time very festive. The cabin was very nice and I would do this trip again however next time bring a few more of our belongings. Thankful that we spent this time away from everyone to enjoy a very peaceful Christmas.We had NO cell service however the wi-fi worked great!

Not as charming as expected :/
We were excited to go away for a couple nights in the woods, relax in the hot tub and come back in to a roaring fireplace...But the cabin was just so-so. The ceiling fans were lined with black dust/dirt. The hot tub was older, but still functional. The fireplace was one of those side table ones, not what we expected. I wouldn't have booked if i knew about it. I will read reviews thoroughly before booking again. Lesson learned.

Relaxing stay
Kick back cabin was perfect for a relaxing stay with our 2 dogs. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard and the trails. The cabin was clean, easy check in, and the setting was nice and private. Away from everything but close enough to town in case you need anything. The Christmas tree was a nice addition.

Peaceful and Relaxing
Such a peaceful place! My husband and I had such a relaxing time. Just what we needed. We brought along our 2 pugs. They loved the fenced in area and we did too! Also the side porch where they could sit out with us on swing and not get out. Great communication with hosts. I had a few questions before we arrived and they answered quickly. We hope to stay here again. We even got to see it snow before we left.

Very peaceful weekend
This was a repeat stay for us. We've been here a few times. It's a really nice place if you want to bring your dog since there is a fenced in area on one end and tie outs on the other end near the fire pit and hot tub. We very much enjoy the openness of the cabin and all the windows with a nice view of the outdoors. We have enjoyed walking the paths around the cabin, but this past time kind of found ourselves a little lost in our wanders. We were looking for the pond and couldn't find it. There used to be a hand-drawn map in the cabin, but we couldn't find that to give us better direction on the paths. Hopefully somebody can draw up another one. I would say to other potential renters, if you intend on cooking, bring your own sturdy utensils and pots/pans. This is not a gourmet kitchen. We made do. Note to owner: we would really love you if you updated that couch. It's not comfortable at all.

Overall I was very happy with our stay. The VRBO pictures need updated in my opinion. The cabin is clearly older than the pictures but we had a great time.

Secluded!!
We loved where the cabin was at, no neighbors. Cabin was very nice and clean. Loved the windows, but the small ones on top really need to be washed. The bathroom, now that's a whole other issue! The shower was tiny and I mean very tiny. The toilet was child size and your knees hit the shower when sitting on it.

getaway to hike and include our dog, Odin
Loved the location, so peaceful, trails behind us, no one around. very spacious with plenty of room. Fenced in deck and back yard, so Odin did not need to be leashed. Had everything we needed. Would go back and stay there again. Have a great 2-night getaway.

Spotlessly clean! Kick Back was a great cabin for two adults and our Labrador. Nice touches for dog owners. We particularly loved the two completely fenced areas out each of the side doors. The cabin is at the back of the property, very nice and private. We would definitely stay again.

Great trip
Overall it was a good trip, the kick back cabin was nice. More remote than I expected. But we made it work. The town neilsonville did not have much and was kind of empty not much for dinning out. But the caves near by was absolutely beautiful and was a lot to do closer to the caves. Otherwise the cabin and property was beautiful and quiet nice and relaxing. We did loose power one time but came right back on, a storm blew thru quickly. Cell reception was very spotty and the Internet was spotty to. But overall was a great trip and the cabin was nice and clean.
