The cabin was very clean, peaceful, and quiet, and we enjoyed our stay overall. The wooded setting made for a relaxing getaway, and the owner was responsive when we contacted them regarding check-in information.There are several things future guests should know before booking.The cabin is not as private as the listing may suggest. While it backs up to the woods, there are two other cabins on the property, and our cabin sat directly behind a much larger cabin that blocked most of the lake view.The cabin also appears to need some updating and maintenance. Christmas decorations were still displayed in the kitchen in June, and a boxed Christmas tree was stored in the living room next to the fireplace.The back deck has areas of rotted wood, so guests should watch their step.There is no path leading to the lake that requires crossing a bridge over the creek. Access to the bridge is by way of stacked rock steps that felt unstable and potentially unsafe. The creek area itself was heavily overgrown and did not appear to be well maintained.The listing also advertises a creek-fed spillway/waterfall; however, after arrival we were informed by text message and posted signage that the spillway was beyond the area guests in our cabin were permitted to access. As a result, we were unable to view one of the property's advertised features.Other things guests may want to know are that there is no cell service at the cabin and only one television, which is located in the living room.

We had such a great stay. The cabin was clean and cozy. John was very responsive and ensured we had everything we needed. We’ll be back!

This is a fantastic place for a weekend getaway. Very relaxing and the hot tub was very clean and very needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The wildflower cafe nearby was delicious though it’s best to make a reservation.

Check in: We checked 1.5 hours after check in time and the cleaner was still there. I wish the host communicated this when I called an hour out to ask for check in instructions. Cabin description: It said three bedrooms, there was only one bedroom with a door, the other two were lofts. The third loft had exposed electrical outlet and the ladder/stairs were wobbly. Only one shower in the cabin, other bathroom had only a tub. The fireplace had the glass pane missing, the host said it was still usable, but we didn’t feel comfortable. The sofa bed was dirty and the other couple didn’t want their kids to sleep on it. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, there was no cabin space. The front loader washer had mildew and required high efficiency detergent. The kids loved the hot tub and we enjoyed the fire pit. We used the grill and loved sitting on the porch drinking coffee. It was so cold the first day and the heater didn’t stay on during the night or when we left and came back, it got down to low 60s, but the next day was warmer. Host said it was climate controlled. Lake nearby was awesome, my son enjoyed fishing and using the canoe and kayaks. Only one TV in the living room, not enough seating for 8 people, only one couch, one arm chair and one recliner that didn’t recline all the way. Close to parks, beautiful property, just surprised at size and other issues mentioned above. Wouldn’t stay here again with 8 people.4 adults, 4 kids and 3 dogs.
