Easy to find. There was plenty of laundry detergent/dish soap. The one air conditioner was working pretty hard with the warmer temps but it did cool down at night. Hot tub was nice to come back to after a long day of riding.

Reo, thank you for staying with us at Rustling Wind Haven! We are so glad you were able to have fun at this home and had everything you needed. Thanks for being great guest, we look forward to hosting you again!
We enjoyed our stay there very much. Property had everything we needed as was accurate to the listing. Very well organized and everything was labeled so it was easy to find. Hot tub was great and we had a very relaxing weekend. Only issue was one of the beds upstairs had a suspicious looking stain on the comforter and the other had long black hair all over the pillows and sheets. We moved to the downstairs bedroom and all was well. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay.

Hi Linda, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We apologize for the stain on the comforter and the hair on the bedding, that is not our standard for cleanliness, and we will reach out to the cleaning company.
We had a wonderful 6 night stay during the summer at this cabin and are interested in booking again. It's a comfortable place and met all our needs without being fussy. The hot tub was a highlight and was clean and in good working order. We loved the location.....it was near a lot of dirt bike and atv trails. The neighborhood was quiet....the cabin was near other houses but felt secluded. You couldn't see other cabins from it in any direction. I definitely recommend this property.

Hi Esther, thank you for staying with us at Rustling Wind Haven. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay!
The road in is HORRIBLE. And we are used to gravel. Pot holes big enough to swallow a car. But everything else was as expected.

Weren’t Ready for us.
Great setting. Nice , roomy house, but needed a hide a bed, was told there was one but the one there had not been serviceable for months, even though it was advertised. So, was told to use the air mattress. Wasn’t where it was was supposed to be so we had to borrow one from the guy answering the phone. Later found the air mattress but the pump was incompatible, so it would have done us no good, anyway. Upstairs wasn’t cleaned, garbage still in garbage cans including Kleenex and a used mask, used silicon earplugs on the floor. Not super reassuring during pandemic times. Alerted the host and she promised a very modest refund. Place has potential, but they were clearly not ready for guests when we arrived

Robert - thanks for the feedback. We got that sofa bed replaced with a sleeper sofa that actually works. We do apologize that it wasn't there for you and were glad to give a refund. The upstairs was cleaned but she had left those items in one of trash cans - we have reminded them to get all those emptied.

Nice Location
Nice and convenient location. However, a little disappointed in the cleanliness of the bathrooms, I ended up cleaning them myself. There was to be a pull out sofa bed upstairs in the loft, however there wasn't one when we got there, we decided to use the air mattress, but it didn't hold air. This cabin really only sleeps 6 adults comfortably not 8, unless you have kids that would sleep on a lumpy couch. The downstairs bathroom tub did not drain well as you end up standing in quite a bit of water by the time you are done showering, took the garbage out, but didn't have any garbage bags to replace it with, good thing we brought our own. Also agree with previous reviewers on the little air conditioner that is not big enough to keep the cabin cool, we opened windows at night, however you have to take the screens out in the morning to get the windows closed. This cabin has a great location, however, it could use a little TLC.
Our stay at the cabin was nice. It was nice having all the room and kitchen supplies available during the stay. We used the grill and hot tub a couple times which was very pleasant. It was a little warm during the afternoons and evenings due to the window unit not keeping up. The nights were cool enough to open the windows but some of the windows wouldn't crank closed very well. I had to remove the screens to close them in the morning. The space inside and on the deck was very welcoming for a vacation rental.

Hi Josh, thank you for staying with us at Rustling Wind Haven. We are glad you enjoyed your stay!
Great location. Very quiet. Only issue was fireplace did not work and on the last day/night it was very hot in the house. One little AC was not enough to cool every room off. Loved our quiet time here.
