The View - The name says it all. And a great location. 50% Off Resort Zipline

My family went up for a week after a long year of learning to be parents to a little boy we welcomed into the world in January. We needed a big enough cabin to accommodate my father and my husbands mom, dad and sister. This cabin was a perfect fit. You couldnt beat this view or easy entry if you tried. No winding long road and just far enough away to not hear traffic etc. Very peaceful. It was a much needed retreat from the real world. Kitchen was fully stocked, and everything in the house worked just fine! No bats even though we have been many times to cabins in the smokers and know wild life is a possibility!

The home was very clean. We

Only had to buy paper towel . It has a great view. It was closet to every thing

It was a great place to stay. It was roomy and open. The bedrooms and bath combos were wonderful. We enjoyed our stay very much

The cabin on the inside and the outside looked pretty good; however, there were some minor and MAJOR issues.

1. On the first night we noticed that it was very hot and muggy downstairs. Upon further review the next morning, we discovered that all the vents downstairs were closed. When we opened them, the smell of mold and mildew hit us right in the face and never really went away. We ended up closing the vent in the 2nd bedroom downstairs (that's were the smell was the worst), bought a box fan and used the ceiling fans to keep cool. Both my boys ended up sleeping with us in the master bedroom to get away from the smell. Also, the footboard to the master bedroom bed was broken. I reported this first thing.

2. The washing machine broke while we were there as well. After many calls to the owner, maintenance man, as well as a "service call", we were told by the owner to break the door off to get out our wet clothes that were being held hostage. Thank God the dryer still worked.

3. There is a horrible bat infestation in this house. I reached out to the owner on the first morning to report what I thought was a huge amount of rat droppings. He emailed back to let me know that it was not rats but bats. He said he was aware of the problem and that the house was being treated in-between guest. We still had to sweep the front steps before leaving the house and upon returning to the house so we didn't track bat poop into the house. Very inconvenient and gross to say the least.

4. My friend and her family stayed upstairs in the cabin. She said that the smell of "whatever" was over powering at times and she could hear the bats all night long. She also said that there was bat poop stains coming down the walls in the bathroom.

5. The kitchen wasn't well stocked. There was no baking bans or anything to use in the oven.

6. The cleaning people did not leave enough towels. There were only 6 washcloths in the entire house. There were 7 of us staying there. After asking twice, I was finally able to have the cleaners bring us some more towels to get us through the rest of the week since of course the washing machine didn't work.

Because of all these issues, I spend a lot of my "relaxing" vacation on the phone or emailing trying to get in touch with the maintenance man (who only called me back once) and the owner. I think the owner was understanding of my frustration; however, nothing was done to compensate our horrible issues with his cabin.

Our 3 families enjoyed every minute of this large, accommodating cabin. It was clean and cozy. It had more than enough bathrooms for 10 people! We will be back :)
