Cozy Cabin in The Driftless

Glad you enjoyed your stay!

Glad you enjoyed your time at the cabin!

Thanks so much! Hope to "see" you again!

Thanks for the feedback - we will work on beefing up the kitchen supplies. Feel free to send me a list of things you were looking for but didn't see.

It sounds as though a cozy cabin in the woods was not the best choice for your vacation rental and I'm very disappointed to read this review, as this is the first time I am hearing about any of these concerns. Statement regarding doors is patently untrue, there are functioning exits on each level, as well as multiple sliding deck doors. There is tape along the bottom of the door on lower level to prevent insects from entering during periods of heavy rain. Microwave is stored in pantry due to limited counter space in kitchen - most guests elect to pull it out on the counter to use versus lying on the floor. Both Amazon Fire TVs (one on each level) are in working order and wifi signal is strong. Given the remote location there is no cable service but guests are able to log in to any of their streaming services. A DVD player with nice selection of DVDs is also available and in working order. Again, the remote nature of the cabin may have caused issues with your personal cell service - this is why we provide a land line in the home, but we have no control over your cell service area. Finally, I would argue that our pricing is very reasonable for a full 4 bedroom home for a party of 6 guests in Dane County, WI. I'm very sorry that our place didn't meet your expectations, but would encourage you to communicate with hosts in the future to address your concerns during your stay as I very likely could have provided some solutions for you, had you reached out.

Hi Jann, Sorry to hear that your experience was less than desirable. It sounds like perhaps a "cozy cabin in the woods" was not the appropriate venue for your large gathering. For the record, when you notified us that the track lighting in the kitchen was not functioning, I did offer to have an electrician out - however, given you were there for only 3 days over a weekend, I could not guarantee that someone would be there before you departed, and offered an alternative solution to utilize a spare lamp from the basement in the meantime. As far as the cobwebs and dust go, it can be quite difficult in a home with extremely high vaulted ceilings and two functioning (well used) fire places to completely eliminate, and often times dust settles after our cleaners have been through (especially in the fall season when bugs are looking to move indoors and fireplace use is more prevalent). I have definitely taken note of your other cleanliness concerns and will address with our cleaning staff. As you can see from our 8 years of prior reviews, this has not been something that has come up often as an issue, so it is somewhat surprising. The extra guest fee is something that is part of our pricing structure to remain more affordable for smaller groups. Most guests understand there is additional work required following a party of 8 versus a party of 2. I appreciate all of the feedback as it will help us improve for future guests.
