Can Be Better
We had a good day communication with the management company was excellent. We noticed something. The average person would notice because we’re in the trades. They came right out and took care of it while we were out. Cooking appliances left a little to be desired small frying pan for a large group doesn’t work large frying skillet. Nice but it was awful of rust. Second coffee pot left down. The counter was left full of coffee from who knows how long before we got there there was mold growing in the coffee. We washed it out and threw the cabinet. Fire pit, not like the photograph totally different not usable too close to the trees. Sitting outside at night was very nice. Weather was great. Only problem is there is a trail that goes around the property for everyone to use with their four wheelers and people were driving around their four wheelers till all hours of the night right past the front of the house, kicking up nothing but dust from the trail they were on. I stayed in this house 13-15 years ago It was nice then, but nothing‘s been upgraded since new mattresses would be nice.

The house is gorgeous and has a lot of character. It was perfect for a weekend getaway with friends. Our favorite part was the enclosed porch on the upper floor. It went perfectly with the late August weather.

The property was perfect for 4 couples. Would have liked a longer stay to enjoy all the amenities such as all the games and the fire pit. Loved the proximity to Apple Canyon Lake, especially the marina. Beautiful home… great stay!

Nice home
The home is very nice and suitable for families. The hot tub room and upper screened in porch are filthy and need to be deep cleaned. The open concept on main floor is very nice to gather or play games. Plenty of room and everything we needed. It is not too far to drive to pool or lake. Fire pit area could be cleaned up. We would stay again!

Family weekend
Lots of room with spacious main floor where we could all be together and game areas and porches for separation. Everything on the interior of the cabin was clean and the kitchen was well-equipped with a new toaster and coffeemaker (although I would have preferred a keurig type with pods). The beds and pillows were plentiful and comfortable. The linens were clean but worn. The screened in porches needed a good dusting, and the doors to the outside didn’t lock or even fully close. Even so, we enjoyed the upstairs screened porch, playing scattergories on a stormy night! The gas grill is on its last leg, but we managed to light part of it and cooked in shifts. Location is great. Convenient to everything. Instructions for tv, internet, etc… were easy to follow. Host responded quickly to emails and helped me rent a pontoon. We had a great time and would go back.

Beautiful Cabin, but...
I absolutely loved this rental except for the fact that my friends complained of stains on the bedding and I also found stains on the bedding that is why I gave cleanliness a three everything else was great...

If You Like Mice, Drugs, and Dirty Panties
...this is the place for you. Filthy. Disgusting. Unsafe. We found beer bottles, dirty underwear, and a ziploc bag of drugs under the bed. DO NOT BRING CHILDREN. Things are dusty, broken, and hazardous. If you came for the hot tub, DO NOT COME. They blamed the jacuzzi not heating on us because the water level got low when we all got in. However, the truth of the matter is one of our guests got in both hot tubs they gave us access to on her own for at least 15 minutes and it was cold both times before the water level lowered. The property manager made us go to another property to get the hose after we asked her to help us so it became a job to refill a hot tub that never worked in the first place. The hot tub is really small and has one jet that no one feels. It's a Luke warm outdoor bath at best. While working at the other house, we noticed the hot tub over there appeared better. I believe they offered us access to that hot tub because I mentioned it. But it was dysfunctional as well. We did make mistakes when trying to work the hose and do the work on our own. But again, I left a voice-mail asking the property manager to come fix it once we realized how complicated things were getting (we originally offered to fill it ourselves) and she responded by texting us instructions of getting what we needed from the house next door). So that's on them for leaving us to do something that they originally offered to do and we eventually asked them to do. The water began to overflow because we came upstairs to warm up. Our hands were freezing from working. Mice droppings were everywhere on every level of the house. On the counters on the ledge, on the floor, under the bed,on the windows. Everywhere. We barely wanted our things in the house when we realized how bad it was. The place is utterly disgusting. We tried to make the best of it. We cleaned, we disinfected, we threw things away that were not ours and sent a list of all the issues to the owners. The property managers responded with an equal, in length, letter blaming us for most of it and explaining that the mice problem is the fault of past guests who leave the door open and it being in the woods. Not that the house has several entry points that need to be sealed. Not clean, Rosebud is not accountable, not safe, not worth the money. They offered to refund the cleaning fee which we are waiting on. We stayed at one of their properties last year and had the opposite experience. Never again though

Great place to relax for weekend
Property is huge. Indoor is updated but some places were never dusted … Back porch and jacuzzi need rehab. Also TV set was old fashioned without on demand programs. Since we didn’t come there to watch Tv that wasn’t big issue. Overall great experience- kitchen well equipped, comfortable living room furniture and mattresses in bedrooms Thank you! Galena territory is beautiful during fall:)

Great place, but needs a bit of work
Thank you for renting us out your place. Here are a few things I noticed. - Trip hazard (rug) both upstairs and downstairs(this needs fixed asap) - No pot holders in the kitchen - No kitchen towels - no cutting boards - Towels ALL NEED replaced (dirty/stained) - Remove the fake plants (dust collector) so much dust! - No clear directions for garbage/pool/amenities (green book is very outdated....almost 15 years) - Needs a deep clean over all (window coverings, window sills, back porch, remove fake flowers) - Couch handle broken/foot lift broken - not enough toilet paper (one roll had a brown stain on it ) This could be FANTASTIC but it needs a little work and a BIG DEEP CLEANING. Overall it was a great place for a little getaway. Thank you for renting!
