The home was clean and as described. Loved the porch swing bed and watching movies while relaxing in the crisp fresh air. Went during the holiday season and it was decorated nicely for Christmas. Make sure to plan ahead for food- as she says, the closest grocery store is a drive, and itā€™ll take a bit to get there. Owner was responsive and worked well with us.

Super cute property and we very much enjoyed the screen porch! Everything was great, but I do wish the check-in time was a little earlier, the bathroom a little bigger, and the porch fan had an adjustable speed.

So glad yā€™all enjoyed! Check in is published in listing at 4pm and we did letcha get in anytime after 3pm. Sorry it canā€™t be any earlier. With cleaners having to run between multiple locations and only 5 hrs to wash, dry, make up beds, clean and put away linens that 5hrs goes quick. Bathroom is on the smaller side but the coziness of the cabin is what we love about it! We have a big bathroom at our full time residence so itā€™s nice to us to just be a little small when we are on the mountain.
