Cute
It was a cute and rustic cabin. There is a lot of room so you have space for more people. We had one issue but the owner was quite nice about it.

All in all good stay
This home was under 20 mins to the wedding venue we attended, very convenient. There was a glitch in my booking and VRBO did not list my booking. Right up to day of check in the house was listed as available on their website. That was a bit unnerving and made it challenging to communicate with the host. Another comfy chair or two would have been nice. All in all we were satisfied

Vacation
Everything was great. It was very clean and neat. Definitely a place I would stay again. We had a couple of visitors on the morning we left in the back yard,two fawns. Kids couldn’t play in the creek because it was too low and not flowing but they still had a great time.

Adorable rustic cabin
We did only a one night stay . It was mainly a place to sleep for the night. It was such a beautiful spot I wish we'd had more time. It was very hot and humid that night and there is no AC. I believe the owners are working on a lot of updates. Overall it's a nice place.

Quiet and quaint
The cottage was a one night stop over for me on a long trip home. It is a charming, quaint, and comfortable home with a lovely yard and patio area. A slight hiccup with the lock was immediately taken care of by the owner. The cottage was super clean, very comfortable bed in the loft (I didn't use the other 2 bedrooms), and well supplied in the kitchen and bathroom. Overall, a very quiet, pleasant, peaceful place if you're in the area.

Great communication and hosts
The cabin/cottage was situated on a creek in which the sounds of the water were relaxing. The property is a bit more rustic than we expected and although A/C is not explicitly stated in the ad it would be helpful if it was more clearly noted in the description. The owner was sure to send us a message the day of arrival to make sure we were aware so that we could plan accordingly. We happened to be on day 9 of our 10 day road trip and signal sucked, therefore, we didn’t know in enough time to plan to bring a fan. The owners were great with communication and check in was very easy! This place has so much potential, I can see why they chose it and it is in close enough proximity to some wonderful outdoor sights/activities.

Life the way it should be ❤️
John was extremely nice and easy to communicate with. I had, had hopes for a relaxing birthday weekend for my boyfriend and it was perfect…quiet peaceful and tranquil. The sound of the stream and the feeling of the bonfire were incredible. We unplugged and escaped a hectic crazy life….it was perfect

We came up for just one night for a friends wedding and it was a beautiful spot to get ready- especially with the beautiful stream and yard in the back. It was a lovely stay and we are looking forward to coming again sometime!

Sehr rustikales Haus in schöner Lage
Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön gelegen. Wir haben die Lage direkt am Bach sehr genossen. Das Haus als solches ist sehr rustikal. Optisch hat uns dies gut gefallen. Leider war es aber auch nicht abschließend sauber (es lagen schon bei unserer Ankunft viele tote Fliegen auf dem Teppich). Wir haben uns sehr über die zur Verfügung gestellten Snacks gefreut (Kaffeepulver, Caprisonne, Riegel, Chips), leider sind diese jedoch seit September abgelaufen. Das war etwas schade. Grundsätzlich haben wir uns wohl gefühlt und gut geschlafen, wir hatten aber auch schon schönere Unterkünfte.
