The cabin is outdated, and honestly not as clean as other places I've stayed.The beds are hard as rocks and the pillows are thin as paper.The 2 cooking knives are so dull, I could barely cut through avocado skin.Having an extension cord running across the living room is a tripping hazard, even though it's covered up.The light switches should be labeled. I could never get one of the remote for the fans to work, even though I changed the battery.

Great place to stay!

There were 4 couples and there was plenty of room and we really enjoyed it! The only downside was the water is Luke warm and lasts about 3 or 4 quick showers before it becomes ice cold. We enjoyed the pool table and had a great time!
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr, 2020
Thanks for staying with us Wendy! We are glad you pointed out the issue with the hot water. We had a repairman in and he found an element that was blown and it was replaced. I am so glad you had a good time. Come back any time!

Great Getaway

We brought our four kids (teen to adult) and had a great stay at Jake's Hideaway. Lots of room for everyone and the dog. The cabin was clean and cozy. There are lots of activities in the area! Great place to get away for a few days and relax.

Perfect little getaway

We had a great time at jakes hideaway! It was an easy drive to get to and we seen lots of deer which my kids loved. It was close enough to town to be able to come back and forth during the day. Whenever we go up again we would definitely stay here again.
