Thank you for taking the time to post a review about your stay at our Koi cottage.
Pleased, you enjoyed your stay.
We had a great stay! The hot tub was fantastic and the surrounding area was beautiful. There are two extra cabins on the property that were unoccupied but we were unaware of before arriving.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our koi cottage.
Glad you enjoyed your stay.
Those 2 cabins you mention, are only for storage. Sorry, if you were concerned that guests might arrive to stay in them.
I hope guests contact me, with any questions or concerns they have during their stay.
We made the best of a difficult situation. When first walking in, you are hit with an overwhelming musty smell. The one air purifier does not eliminate the smell. Within the first few hours mice will be eating your dinner on the counter. Although the host seemed surprised to hear this from me, there were obvious signs of mouse issues (bite marks on plastic silverware holder and mouse poop throughout cabinets and drawers) The pictures are outdated and do not reflect the cabins current state. The coffe pots lid is broken, so beware of spilling. The fridge has multiple broken components, making it hard to store items from mice. When communcating with the host, she was overall argumentative, saying that she thinks I'm just a little extra. Unfortunately, we were not able to relocate given our money was tied up in this property. She did go get us mouse traps and peanut butter. We had to spend more money on eating out because we weren't comfortable cooking in the cabin. Not once did the host attempt to give me a break on the price. She did offer to reimburse the food the mice ate, but that felt more like an insult than a soultuion. Please beware of what you are signing up for especially if you are uncomfortable sharing food with mice, have asthma, or allergies.

One thing I have learned in hosting, I cannot please everyone. I would like to and I try to.
This guest said she saw mice and I was surprised because no previous guest had mentioned that to me and I spend a lot of money to keep them out. She wanted mouse traps and peanut butter so, I went out right away and purchased those items plus a plastic tub with a lid for storage.
The cottage is located in the woods. We have a professional service to service the cabin for mice and bugs but, being located in the woods, it can be a battle.
I am not an argumentative person but, I can only be screamed at for so long.
The refrigerator is a nice refrigerator. A previous guest broke two shelves on the door. I didn’t realize that the plastic was cracked and unable to hold heavy items.
I disagree about the pictures. We have actually done some updating since those pictures.
We found the cabin to be very comfortable. We enjoyed ourselves that we stayed an extra day. Sunday, Nov 16th - Thursday, Nov 20th.

The home and location was perfect for a relaxing getaway before the rush of the holidays. It was clean and comfortable. Meeting Cindy was a highlight, fantastic host. I will be booking again.
Very comfortable & quiet cabin. We had a nice relaxing time both inside & outside. The hot tub was wonderful as was the fire pit & Koi pond. The cabin was close to great activities as well, Caves, museums & Route 66.

Cabin was very clean, very spacious, great mineral, hot tub, nice patio with fire pit, barbecue grill, and wood for the fire. Would definitely recommend the host responded quickly. Hope to return again someday my dogs loved it.
Nice place, only couldn't stay a full night due to bedbugs. Had reserved for 2 nights and couldn't stay 1

Bed bugs are an owners worst nightmare.
My pest control company came out right away and we closed the cabin for 2 weeks for treatment. Our cabins are sprayed twice a year, instead and outside.
The owner of the pest control company told me that bed bugs are usually brought in by guests suitcases. She recommends to never store your suitcase on a floor of a hotel or rental home.
We were very sorry that this guest needed to cancel their reservation and refunded full amount after we knew that there was an issue.
