Very clean, the bedroom was comfortable. The wraparound porch was wonderful. We were not used to driving up the steep graded narrow streets and driveway up to cabin. Bears everywhere!

Nice place, that needs maintenance. Refrigerator door has a sprung hinge so it may or may not stay closed. Stained glass door to deck has no doorknob. Shower doors are off the tracks. Needs an exterminator because stink bugs are everywhere, falling on the bed, crawling on the TVs, even had one fall in my hair at the bathroom sink. The drain stoppers in the bathrooms are both broken. At the prices charged, this was a disappointment.

Cabin

The cabin itself was amazing in cleanliness and accuracy of online description. The only reason I would not stay again is because of the drive through the neighborhood up to the cabin and the driveway.

Cozy and romantic honeymoon!

Wonderful place to stay! We took our puppy and had a great time! The deacription was accurate. The only thing I would mention is that the bathroom lighting is not great for applying makeup. I used a mirror in the bedroom lighting to make it work. And the pool sticks had bad tips and were warped. It just helped us practice more! I would love staying here again.

Great Place for Honeymoon

Me and my wife came here for our honeymoon. It was fairly easy to get to and it was the perfect distance to the main strip but far enough to be secluded and away from everything. 5 stars.
