Tavern River Cabin, Historical, Riverfront, Log, Hottub, Large Stone Fireplace

Thank you for your review and your kind words as we always strive for excellence. Every business has rules and regulations. Our rules are put in place to protect the integrity of the cabin and to make sure there are no problems for the following and future guests. Our rules are simple and primarily request that our cabins are left clean, pick up after your pet, no slaming logs into fire place and breaking grate, no rip roaring huge fires that could cause a chimney fire and no trespassing onto other people's property. Just basic simple respect for the cabin and others. That's about it. Personally I would not feel comfortable staying in a place with no rules. Most guests are very respectful, however unfortuneately it just takes one to ruin it for others. Most of our rules were put in place after an ocassional unruley guest created a problem. Thank you.

The sign over the fireplace simply says "please do not "throw firewood logs" into fireplace, please place them gently as we have had several grates broken plus it can disburse live fire ash. Secondly, some guests have wondered over to private property not owned by us in the past and said owners have reached out to me to make guests aware. So we simply ask people (with a pictured frame) not to trespass on others' property, which is reasonable. Not sure where the dog hair comment is coming from. We do not have any signs about that but we are one of the few cabins owners in our area that permits dogs, so we do expect people to be resonable for their pets. If your dog is a shedder, please sweep up the hair and take your dog waste. Totally reasonable but there are no signs around cabin displaying such. Our confirmation letter tells people to pick up after your pets. This review of two Stars seems to be a bit exaggerated especially in light of the fact that it's all about a non-existent sign asking people to pick up their dog hair. It may be listed in the Welcome loose leaf binder with lots of other helpful information including things to do in the area. Either way, if cabin owners like myself are nice enough to permit people's dogs without charging a deposit, then folks bringing pets need to be responsible for cleaning up after them. Otherwise, you ruin it for other folks who want to bring pets who are responsible pet owners and pet parents. Not complicated!

In response, my cleaning lady accidently forgot to put sheets and towels in cabin as most people choose to bring their own. So as soon as we were made aware, we immediatly put the sheets and towels in cabin. It was not a dramatic situation. When we supply sheets and towels, everyone is told what we supply, so it was no secret that we supply queen sheets, two towels and two wash cloths. Incorrect post about laundry, we do not advertise coin laundry. All decks at all cabins were pressured washed in August 2023, old boards replaced with new, as there were a few boards that needed replaced, but it really wasn't a hazard, just a part of the maintenance and is now repaired with new boards where needed and wood preserver as well. The cabin is private from the office with lots of ever green trees and fencing between plus separated by 5 acres so the cabin is extremely private. You cannot see the office through the trees unless you are in driveway, so this is a false statement. And it is just an over exaggeration not to mention an insult to say the owners were inside the cabin with their belongings! Many people leave well before the 11:00 am check out time. If my cleaning girl sees a car gone and it's appoaching 11:00 am, usually the guests have gone. No one was inside the cabin with anyone's belongings. We always look through door window of kitchen before entering and knock as it is clear that guests are gone if the kitchen is picked up. So this is just a false statement. If someone's luggage is in livingroom, we have no way of knowing that unless we walk in. So this two star post is unaccurate for the folks reading this and over dramatic for no reason!
