We came here for our anniversary and thus cabin exceeded our expectations! So perfect for a couple! Everything was clean and updated nicely, and the bed was very comfortable!Definitely plan to be back for longer than just one night!
When we walked in, we had to sweep automatically there was dog bones under the bed… went to put coffee by the coffee machine and there was grease all over the coffee machine had to go out and buy a coffee maker mold in the bathroom. They hide it behind a hamper and when I addressed it, nobody said anything but other than that check-in was awesome and all the hiking was great
We LOVED butterfly ridge! the cabins were easy to find, clean and very spacey and pretty on the inside. hard to get ahold of host at first but once we did she responded quickly and answered all questions quickly and thoroughly. hot tub was AMAZING as well
We had a great stay, I wish I had pre-arranged some firewood. Thank you.

Nice cabin, poor communication
The cabin is just as advertised. Some of the dishes looked dirty but overall it was very nice. Our only real complaint was the lack of communication from the property owner. I messaged 3 seperate times asking for information and check in instructions with no response. I finally hsd to call the property directly snd all they gave us was a curt response with the door code and no other instructions
Clean, up to date, and very comfortable from the bed, to the hot tub. Only negative, the shower goes from hot hot to warm the whole time. Also not the greatest communication.
Perfect for a couple to stay. The bed was a little firmer than we liked but it was cozy. Enjoyed the hot tub and the amenities the cabin offered. Directions were easy to follow. Communication with host was quick and easy
This was a great get away for my girlfriend and I and all around great experience. The bed was a little hard to sleep on but, besides that it was a great stay I would definitely recommend and come back
We arrived to the cabin on a Friday staying until Sunday and were very satisfied with how well it met our expectations. Everything was very clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Be aware, the roads going into the cabin area are gravel and dirt so I'm sure they are quite interesting to traverse in rainy or snowy weather. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Cabin was as expected
Communication with property manager left a little to be desired. Check in instructions need to be sent a little in advance. It all worked out and we enjoyed our stay.
We have a beautiful time, only problem that we have was I did not receive e mail with lock door number, but we solved that issue without any problem . We had good time .
Long and needed weekend getaway! The cabin is very cute and clean. We had a short delay in getting in contact with the owner for the appropriate key code, but VRBO assisted with that. The only other issue we had was that the charcoal grill on the premises was not useable. Other than that we were very satisfied! The cabin is about 25-30 minutes away from a lot of the main site seeing activities but we did not mind the drive. Pizza Crossing in Logan is delicious and we highly recommend zip lining with Canopy Tours!
Lane going to cabin was not good at all , a lot of mud , did not like the wood fire place , thought it was gas , so it smelled like smoke inside , cabin was very clean , thought price was high for the amenities, overall not a bad experience just would not rent again
Had a short stay but it was wonderful! The inside was very clean & the cabin was the perfect size for two. There was trash left in the fire pit outside from the previous people that wasn’t removed, but other than that the property outside was clean as well. Only real issues I really had were communication about check in & actually locating the cabin. I got a confirmation email after I booked which gave me the check in/check out time & the address to the cabin. There was no info on what to do once I got there, so I messaged the day before to see what I needed to do & never got a response. I had to call & speak to someone once I got there to get a code to get into the cabin, the woman on the phone was very nice though & got me the code quickly. Getting to the cabin though was a whole other issue. I put in the address that was given to me in the email & it took me to an empty lot on that road. After driving back the other direction to make sure I didn’t miss it, I turned back around & continued down the road. The cabin was probably a half mile further down that road & down a little gravel road on the left. This was using Apple Maps, not sure how it shows up on Google maps. Not the host’s fault but just something to point out for people to be aware of. I was also looking for a sign or something with “Avenwood” on it, since this is how it’s listen online. But it is actually marked as “Colonel’s Quarters” which threw me off. But overall a nice stay & I would book again!

Cute cabin, lacking in communication/customer service
To start, I did not receive the check in information through vrbo when I was supposed to, so I had to text to get it a few hours before check in. Once we arrived at the cabin we booked on vrbo, we tried the code only to find out there was another couple in our cabin. We tried to contact the property manager first, however she said she was at an event and gave us a separate number that did not answer calls or messages until 30 minutes later. I explained that we were waiting outside for what ended up being about 40 minutes until we got a cabin and the correct code for it. The inside is very cute with plenty of privacy. The downsides were old food on the dishes from the previous people and dirt/mud on the floor still. There was also trash out by the fire pit on the ground that we cleaned up as well as the deck lights not working which was pretty disappointing. I also never received the check out instructions so I had to text to recieve those as well. Definitely would have appreciated some acknowledgment on her part about the lack of communication during the whole check in process.
