Several items were not working like electric fireplaces. Those would have been enjoyable. There was no firewood available to purchase. Landscaping was overgrown and unattended Otherwise the bed was comfortable and the stars were beautiful
We enjoyed our stay and had plenty of room considering it was just us and our dogs. The temp was good and we used the wood stove for effect. It was a little unsettling at first having a big empty lodge over us but we were ok with the space provided and it was comfortable. Please upgrade the coffee pot to make mornings better.
Large kitchen. Well stocked. Nice tub and shower in the master bedroom. Slight odor first time using the tub. Limited seating in living room small couch and one chair for 6 people. Quiet area. Nice porch area. Overall nice stay.

Hi Anita, thank you for your review. The living/dinning room is very small and there no room for additional chairs. That is why we have 9 chairs in the dinning area, so everyone can bring them closer to the sofa and use them. I wish you would have asked. Nicoleta
We had so much fun staying here! The backyard is amazing! We planned to roast s’mores outside but it rained. The kitchen was full stocked and we enjoyed all of our stay! :) The owner/manager is fantastic and very helpful!
The property is beautiful and was very clean. There is noise if the top of the lodge is rented out. We had an issue with the noise after 11p.m., but it was taken care of immediately. The hot tub was definitely an added bonus and the grounds are beautiful. We would definitely rent again.

Kaley, Thank you for choosing our home for your spring trip. We apologize again for the noise upstairs. I am glad you let us know, so we can address it. We hope to see you again in the future.

This place is beautiful, and easy to access. Notes for your stay... We stayed on the lower level. As in previous reviews, you will hear the neighbors upstairs. It is a house. it is impossible not to hear your neighbors. Bring a fan or something so you can drown out the noise while sleeping. I think we had Bigfoot (and his children) as a neighbor upstairs and apparently he was hot. The upstairs unit controls the temp. We froze. Bring pants. There is a nice fake fireplace thing in the bedroom that definitely helped out. We did not complain because were on the river or outside most of the time. There was a note that said we could ask for a temp adjustment but we didn't want the guy to sweat so we left it alone. I love the big bathtub and Shower. We never ran out of hot water. The water tank was massive!! Definite plus. The views out back are awesome. We will definitely return. The host is awesome as well. We had some scheduling issues at the beginning and she quickly helped us out.

Very nice place, very spacious, would love to go back for longer vacation next year. Love the kitchen and all the space. Only draw back is kitchen is not equipped for a lot of cooking. Packing a set of pans would be essential. Phone service is minimal and expected but WiFi was very good considering location. GPS doesn’t work so I recommend a map if your not familiar with area. No complaints, just advice. Highly recommend if your wanting a trip to mountains and spend any time on Buffalo River.
The property is beautiful and the accommodations were amazing. The only issue is the fact that you can hear the people in the upper unit walking around. To be fair it is in the property description that we would be able to hear this, but the tenants above us were stomping around all hours of the night. So if you are a light sleeper this could be an issue for you.
Great appliances. Dishes for everyone. Comfortable beds (even the bunk). No flys or mosquitos outside. Incredibly nice staff. Serene. Perfect for late night romantic star gazing. Спасибо!
We arrived on 10/9/21 and the place was gorgeous! Exactly as described, peaceful and tranquil. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Do know that if someone is staying above you, you hear EVERYTHING; especially the 5 kids that were running around upstairs until 11:00 p.m., but we were outside by the fire and it was not that bad. This place gets an A++++ from us and we will be booking again!
