Great host, ok cabin

We want to start off by saying the host were very nice and communicative. The cabin needs some work though. The window to the front door was broken and the lock on the back door was missing buttons. The upstairs was cute and had lots of games but just wasn’t clean. There were multiple dead flies, dust on the fans, and a duct taped chair. We did leave a day early because we felt very congested and sneezy every time we stayed upstairs (which is where the tv and master bedroom was)

My mother's house is across the river on Apple lane. Love the hunting theme throughout cabin.. My brother worked on this cabin and my nephew built the gazebo for you thru Home Depot. Your cabin feels like home. I hope to rent again soon.

Beautiful sightings

There were elk, bulls, cows, woodpeckers, lizards.. there is a creek within walking distance and a few more creeks with in a few miles. The cabin it self is extraordinary, me and my family always love coming here. They did a lot of upgrading on the place and it’s even more amazing. I recommend this cabin to everyone looking for a vacation spot. The owners are so nice and always easy to get ahold of. We will be back..

Beautiful Getaway

Stayed with my two kids under age of 12 and our two medium sized dogs. The entire property is fenced which is great! Only issue was my dogs wanted to bark at the sweet lab pups to property next of this rental. Additionally, part of the back fence is bent down a bit but my dogs are not jumpers so it was not a worry that they would jump over that part of fence. The home was beautiful and very close to wagon wheel.

Another successful New Year in the woods!

This is a nice little cabin off the beaten path but close enough to town for a nice restaurant dinner. The kitchen has every kind of cooking utensil you could ever need (accept a cheese slicer :) There is a computer nook and the entertainment center with big screen TV made us feel like we were actually in the video games. LOL We had a crackling fire and the Christmas decorations were a nice touch. Overall it was a great stay and the host has a large binder with all the information you could possible need. Since there was no snow we did an area hike near the creek. A few suggestions to make it better would be a sitting chair in the downstairs bedroom. Me and my old dog don't do stairs well and preferred to stay downstairs for morning coffee. It would have been nice to have a comfortable chair to relax in. If it was summer we would have went out on the deck but this was a winter stay. There were many space heaters and we managed to keep warm but the doors were not insulated and were drafty. Overall I would recommend again.
