Over all the place is nice could use some update fixtures. Some of it was a little worn. We had a mishap we were able to fix but it felt like the owners was watching cameras like a hawk

Property management team reviewed the outdoor cameras and seen you running the back of your truck into the cabin and damaging our gutter and corner of home . You said that you would fix the damaged property and we let you do so.

quiet, clean, comfortable. I'm only 5'4 and the bed though comfortable required a bit of a hop up for me ;) We drive a Ford Edge and I worried daily about the tight turn in the driveway. I was afraid we would hit the house. I'd recommend some kind of curb. Furniture was very comfortable. Not far from Blossom Music Center.

Neat Little Place

The cabin was just right. Neatly done, tucked away from the neighborhood and on the water. Everything you need here at the cabin. The only issue we had was the water had a foul smell. Not sure what was causing it. Other than that, A+

Quiet, peaceful stay

Property was a little hard to find with gps but property manager was very helpful with good directions. It is a quiet and peaceful little cabin next to a small lake. It was nice to sit outside but there is only a small space to walk by lake.The house is located behind owner property, which is fine. Very immaculate and clean, comfortable. Place is cozy. Front porch is wonderful. Spent a lot of time out there talking. Bed is comfortable and medium firm. Tub is deep and was nice. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils and dishes. Full size refrigerator, stove and keurig were great. As a note, there are securtity cameras outside of property. The living room had ample and comfortable reclining seating. Smart tv in bedroom and living room. Overall, great stay. Very relaxing and good communication from owner.

Danielle, I am glad to hear you had a great stay. The cabin is its own, fenced in, waterfront property. I also own a waterfront cabin on a separate fenced in property with a shared driveway. These are two separate cabins on their own waterfront properties. Just wanted to clarify this for any future interested guests. Thanks again for taking care of the cabin so nicely, it is greatly appreciated!

Refused to let us rent due to service dog

I am very unhappy with this rental property. The owner refused my daughters sercice dog. This was a very tramatic experience for my family. As we had to find alternative housing. This cost my family more money, loss of time with visiting our friends . This caused a emotional impact on my daughter. I will not recommend this rental. This renter broke feudal laws by denying my daughter's service dog. I am owed a refund and they refuse to give it to me.

You never disclosed when booking that you had a dog. It was not a service dog. Once we caught you staying there with a dog you tried to say, ‘oh sorry I have a dog.’ Money was refunded and you stayed at the cabin which there was dog hair everywhere. It’s a Log Home and all wood. No dogs! Service dogs are welcome. You should be ashamed to falsify your stay. People stay away from Katina. Hosts STAY AWAY! Katina does not go by your house rules.
