The paddle boat needs repair. One of the kayaks was not operational and the other activities shown were in disrepair, however the cabin itself was beautiful and trout could be seen in creek near the area. The large yard allowed the children to run free

Thanks for letting us know, we are actually working on the paddle boat and the kayak. We were unaware of this and definitely want our guest to use these safely. Thanks for letting us know.

Fun little Cottage

This was a fun little cottage perfect for me and a friend to get away for a weekend. The property provided enough space to do activities outside, including a short trail they have around the property as well as enough space to watch movies and play games inside when we weren't out and about doing things in the area. Definitely plan to stay here again if I do more trips to the Mcgregor area.

I liked the quiet rural aspect of this cabin. It was very clean and organized. The cabin could use some blackout curtains for the room and loft. Also a curtain for the front door window to add a little more privacy since it is a small interior. Other than those few things it was a great place to stay. I would definitely recommend checking out the spook cave tours across the road at Spook Cave campground.
