This cabin was the perfect set up for us two! The place was very clean, and the host quickly responded to our questions. There is a Walmart nearby in case you need anything.

Owner Chris was very helpful. The cabin is very nice. It has all that's needed to stay for any length of time - just bring some groceries you'll be set. 2 thumbs up, and 5 stars for this one.

This host is a creek who likes to harass female guests and had a hidden camera in the rental. Has been reported please beware of this man. He also uses his relatives to try and strongarm the guest for extra payment outside VRBO

Response from VrboOwner on 26 May 2026
Thank you Danni, for your feedback. I must correct several inaccurate statements in your messages to us. 1. You were notified of the checkout time and reminded again after you were given another night on our terms, which you agreed to. You were reminded of the checkout time. 2. The photos that you sent in your messages are not of our cabin. They appear to be stock photos or AI generated of another structure. The camera you say you found is black in that pic. Our cameras are white and located outside and those are disclosed in the listing. 3. We expect honest and accurate reviews. Posting false statements and unrelated photos is misleading to future guests and unfair to the hosts and housekeepers.
