We loved the property and the accommodations. The cabin has literally anything you could ever need. Location is perfect to get to lots of local events and attractions. We enjoyed our stay so much!
Quaint little cabin in the woods, cozy, quiet, and beautiful! Excellent communication from the host and everything you need is there. Will definitely be back..
Meggin was a wonderful host with quick response to any questions I had with the booking. The place was just perfect for my friends and I to hang out and just unwind. I will for sure book again in the future. 10/10 recommend this place!
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin! The beds were very comfortable with great linens, and the kitchen was well-stocked, the stove worked perfectly and having a dishwasher was a nice bonus. The cabin has two bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a tub, which made it convenient for our group of four, but anymore than that might be a challenge waiting for the shower to open up. I enjoyed the bathtub. Water pressure was great with plenty of hot water and towels. Just a few notes for future guests: the stairs to the second floor are steep, so just something to be mindful of (though it wasn’t an issue for us). The upstairs bathroom could have been cleaned a little better, as we noticed old toothpaste in the sink and the tub wasn’t as clean as we expected. Also, the door to the downstairs bedroom with the bunk beds didn’t close or lock properly.The outside grounds were absolutely beautiful — we wish we had stayed another night! We would definitely love to come back.The only real challenge was getting the key. Since we all arrived separately, it was tricky coordinating because the host only allowed me to pick it up, and cell service was spotty in the area. I’m more used to self check-in options, but the hosts were very kind and accommodating when we arrived.Overall, we had a fantastic trip and would happily stay here again!
