This stay was everything we needed to rest and relax! The place was just like it said it would be and what a great experience from laying in bed watching nature, taking a shower with the a bucket head (must experience) and eating hotdogs over the fire outside! The host was great and quick to answer. Our dog loved running the yard! Just perfect for us!
This place was wonderful. Josh has done a great job. Very unique. My husband was amazed with the shower and bathroom sink. Such imagination. Lots of hard work went into this container renovation and it shows. It was so comfortable and cozy. Yes, it's small but perfect for 2 people and one dog. I'm sad we only stayed 1 night. We never saw any other people. There was no noise. The beds were very comfortable. My dog loved the couch for some reason. Tv reception was perfect and I was able to stream the braves game on my phone and cast it to the TV. Cell service was great. I have no complaints. Best place we stayed all week. Kudos, Josh.
Pet friendly, very clean and quaint. The host was tremendous with communication and property was great

The outdoor property was welcoming to pets. The inside needs the couch updated and spruced up a bit. There were a few screws sticking out that were dangerous. Also very little light inside.were dangerousscget in

I’m sorry the cabin was not to your liking. However, I do want to clarify that there is nothing dangerous about the property, and guests are provided with thorough instructions, including where all interior lighting is located. The couch and furnishings were selected intentionally to match the rustic style of the cabin, which is part of its character and appeal. I take great pride in keeping the cabin clean, well cared for, and welcoming, and I work very hard to keep both the cabin and farm updated so guests can have the best experience possible. While I’m sorry it did not meet your personal expectations, I stand behind the care and effort that goes into this property.
My kids loved it. We got a kick out of the rustic nature of it. The shower was plenty hot and water tasted like a good Kentucky well. Starting a fire was a bit of an adventure for the kids too. The light switches took a minute to sort but not bad. The switch for primary light was kind of hidden. Checking in at dusk turned it into a hunt. Host was responsive and easy going.

I was surprised by the size of the "cabin"--it was definitely smaller than the pictures portrayed, very misleading online. Once inside, the space was tight even for one person, so I can't imagine 4 people staying in it, as was stated in the listing. The air conditioner is located in the bathroom and it struggled to keep the air cool in the 95-100 degree temperatures during the day, probably due to the filter which looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. It was impossible to keep light out at night and get restful sleep. There was no way to turn the outside lights off and the curtains were insufficient to completely cover the windows. I am grateful for the extra blankets which I used to cover the windows, but good rest was not achievable. I tried exploring the mowed trail, but again, the online description didn't match the reality. On the positive side, Josh was quick to communicate and provide all the necessary information regarding my stay. I did have to cut my stay in half and his response was timely. He refunded me for those days within 48 hours, so I was appreciative of that. I wish my review wasn't mostly on the negative side, but I believe honesty is the best policy. I hope future travelers find this review helpful, and I hope it helps Josh to improve upon his offering.

I need to correct several important impressions created by this review because the timeline described here does not reflect what actually occurred.
This guest shortened her reservation before she ever arrived at the property. That decision was not made because of the cabin, air conditioning, lighting, trail, or any other condition she experienced during her stay. I promptly refunded the nights she had canceled before arrival. She then arrived and stayed for the entirety of her revised reservation.
Throughout that stay, she did not contact me with a single concern about the air conditioning, cleanliness of the filter, exterior lights, window coverings, cabin size, trail, or anything else described in this review. Had any issue been brought to my attention, I would have addressed it.
For that reason, I was extremely surprised to read this account afterward. The statement that she “had to cut” her stay in half, followed by reference to my refund, creates an impression that she left early because of the conditions described in the review. That is incorrect. The reservation was shortened before she arrived, and she completed the stay she had booked.
We have welcomed many guests to this property and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback about their experiences. I take legitimate guest concerns seriously, but I also believe it is important to correct the record when a review gives future travelers an inaccurate impression of what took place.
Thanks for staying with us, Dan! We’re glad you enjoyed the cabin (and we loved your guestbook note). We’re always working to deliver 5-star stays. Not sure where we fell short based on what you wrote in the guest book. If there’s anything we could improve, we’re all ears. Safe travels and you’re welcome back anytime!
We stayed here passing through. Lovely property and perfect for what we needed. Appreciated the pet friendly property and plenty of space to walk my dog.
Although the bed was a little small, being able to enjoy the peace and quiet was priceless. Very friendly host and the people we met. Was close enough to things we wanted to do.
