Quiet and secluded location and a great little home base for our stay. It had everything we needed. On the downside: The drive way (actually the last bit of road) isn’t paved and is a bit rutted. The ice maker in the fridge is noisy since it’s not surrounded by cabinets so it woke me up several times during the night. Guess we could’ve turned it off for the night. Oh well.

Awesome place to stay near everything!

So close to all the places we wanted to see! All the falls , food and sites. We even came upon a really big and beautiful apple farm called Jeter Mountain. The little house is roomier than the photos imply. Clean, comfortable and decorated beautifully! We will return.

Nice little cabin up on the mountain

My husband and I stayed here for a night and enjoyed our stay. The front porch was our favorite part because it was so peaceful drinking coffee and listening to the wildlife! The cabin was very clean and cozy. You do have to do some additional steps for cleaning before you check out but we didn’t mind!

Adorable cottage near great hiking

When I first walked in, I was so pleased with the aesthetic of the cabin. Larger than it looked, and very nicely decorated. Everything seemed very neat and clean; however, the restroom could have used some attention-to-detail (mostly dust and a new shower liner). The kitchen had everything you needed, including Keurig coffee, creamer and sugar already onsite. The beds were extremely firm, so if you are used to soft beds, they might be a bit too hard for you without a topper. I was a little shocked that not only were we to strip the beds and place the dirty sheets in front of the washer at checkout (normal), but we were also to remake the beds with clean sheets for the next guest. I've never had any other VRBO require that, but also, it made me wonder if the previous guests actually did that, or if they just remade the bed with the sheets they slept on and threw the clean sheets in front of the washer as an easy out. Something I hope the host considers could be a possibility. We also had a little bit of a mixup with a double booking, so a random guy walked up on the porch after dark claiming he had rented the place and even had the same door code. A bit unnerving to say the least. Thankfully, the host took care of that issue pretty quickly. Overall, I would stay here again as it's a great central location to lots of parks & hiking trails, and very affordable.

So much about this rating is unfair but I can't honestly give the cottage a higher rating. On the day of our departure all the smoke detector alarms (3) went off at 5:30 AM. Needless to say we were scared. After searching the cottage and the surrounding area, we could find no sign of a fire. However, we also were unable to turn off the alarms even though we removed the batteries. As a result, we had to scramble to get our things together and leave. We still had to put clean sheets on the bed and start laundering the ones we used along with the towels. We also had to wash the dishes all the while the alarms were screaming. We were drove to an area where there was cell service, we called the owner and left a message. He texted us and we called again to make sure not to let someone stay there until the problem was resolved. He said he would change the batteries. What caused the problem, we don't know but for all the alarm batteries to have gone bad at the same time seems improbable. Anyway, although it is really a lovely cottage we just wouldn't feel safe staying there. And no, there was no refund offered.
