Weekend Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed 3 nights in the cabin with our 2 sons (6 and 9). The boys loved playing in the stream behind the house. At night we sat by the fire and made s'mores and mountain pies. We took a trip to Seven Springs for the day. The Alpine Slide was tons of fun!

beautiful cabin - wonderful host

Walking in to the property was like coming home. I absolutely love every single thing about the cabin. The very few things that caused this to not be a perfect location have little to do with the property itself. Everything that you need to enjoy your stay is in the cabin, bring food, your personal essentials and a good book and you're set. The pictures do not really do the site justice. The fire pit and stream behind the cabin walk the line of magical. One concern is the noise - the road is very close and the dump trucks that drive by are apparently trying to escape the invisible bats from hell that must be chasing them. This is no fault of the cabin, but if you are looking for absolute silence this will not happen here. The only other concern was the beds - which is a losing situation no matter what. It is almost impossible to find a comfortable bed outside of your own, but the sleep number bed is filled with air and when my husband, who is a bit larger than me, would get in to the bed the air would blast over to my side and either knock the wind out of me because it was like being punched in the diaphragm or if I was on my back it would sort of shoot me upward which when you're sleeping feels like you're being launched in to space. So whoever is bigger just needs to get into bed slowly. Dave was a fantastic host and went out of his way to answer questions quickly and help us out with a concern. This is a great property and a wonderful place to spend time with whomever will bring you happiness. Thank you Dave!!!

Thank you for your review! Yes it really can be a magical place. A few comments: - It appears that you were there when they were doing some construction down the road with related truck traffic. With that said, would agree that since we boarder a road it is not going to be completely quiet. There are pros and cons to everything; During the winter is a good thing to since many other places can be inaccessible. - Yes, can't seem to win when it comes to mattresses. Initially we had used standard mattresses, and received comments from some guests that it was too firm, while others said it was too soft. It is hard to please everyone since it is a personal preference, but to try we invested in the highly rated Sleep Number Mattress, which is air adjustable and can be made to be as firm as or soft as anyone likes. Since they we have had no other complaints.

Absolutely Beautiful Cabin in the Perfect Surroundings

Bottom Line The “Great Room” is worth the stay in itself.. Overlooking the Trout Stream, we were able to watch deer drink from the creek and raccoons play in the waters edge.. ALL from the Living Room.. The best summary of the Trip came from my wife who said, “ It felt Like we were living in a Tree House”

Great escape!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The main room with three-sided windows, gas stove, and pull out couch with queen foam mattress was wonderful. The kitchen was well equipped, but would have been nice to have instructions for operating the stove (older model). Consider adding more back up batteries for gas stove remote (they were all dead). Great access and view of creek, trails, and fire pit with dry wood. Nice large bathroom and laundry washer and drier worked great. The noise from the main road was noticeable, and only a concern if you’re looking for complete quiet. Would definitely come back b/c of the great main room and access to trails and creek!

Pictures are deceiving

We have used VRBO dozens of times and this is the first time I feel compelled to express my dissatisfaction. Upon arrival, we opened the front door to a strong smell of must or mildew. That small permeated the entire cottage, the furniture and our clothes. We enjoy vintage cottages and look forward to how they are preserved and restored. This one shows little skill in the efforts given the uneven floors and doors, eight different heaters required to heat the place, and generally a lack of concern about the finished work. We booked the cottage for two nights but left early in the morning after the first night to seek out other accommodations. We love the country and we love rustic cottages. This was not the case. We are not looking for a refund. We will simply be more careful not to pay total attention to the photos or the narratives, because in this case, all the pictures on the wall touting the age and history of this cottage were not well served by the current appearance, workmanship, or amenities.

I am very disappointed to hear this; It has been several weeks since your stay and this is the first we have heard anything from you with about any issues, or that you chose to leave early. Perhaps if we would have heard from you we could have addressed and have our housekeeper come by to inspect? For example, we have another cottage about a block away which we could have perhaps moved you to. The fact that we did not hear anything from you is perplexing and and your comments are out of sync with the reviews we have received from our guests in general. We are sorry you if somehow it did not meet your expectations, but perhaps if you had communicated we could have addressed.

Cozy cabin!

We absolutely loved this cabin. We spent a lot of time in the great room looking over the creek as the snow came down. We made Thanksgiving dinner and played board games. Truly a charming Thanksgiving.

Beautiful cottage and surroundings

We loved the cottage, stream, bridges, woods, etc. The property is really beautiful and it’s obvious much love and care has been put into it, including many tasteful and charming touches. The proximity to the road and pretty loud trucks going by often are absolutely the only negatives to note. Thanks for a wonderful getaway!

Magical Getaway

Dave was very helpful and responded very quickly to any questions we had. The pictures don't do the property justice. The cottage was so cozy, well maintained and clean. The beautiful scenery was magical. We sat at the fire pit and listened to the stream. There was plenty of firewood. We cooked on the grill, made mountain pies and toasted marshmallows on the open fire. The Laurel Mountian Inn is right next door. We met friends there for lunch and the food was excellent (don't know why the reviews on Yelp were bad) I would have given the Sylvania 5+ stars if it weren't for having to go down steps to get to the back of the property, which made it a little difficult to prepare your food on the grill, and it is on the highway but was not that noisy. We loved the Sylvania, and David was great to deal with. We will definately stay ther again!

So close to perfect...

There are so many great things about this cabin. It is super cute, roomy, and settled in a beautiful location. The kitchen is properly appointed and the caretaker, Lee, is attentive. However, the beds and couches are not superbly comfortable, and the shower is quite weak and sometimes wobbles between hot and cold. Further, the cabin rests on a busy highway, so it is not as rustic and tucked away as we had hoped. We immensely enjoyed the hike/walk from the property to Kooser Lake and appreciated the cozy cottage feel of the cabin. Even with the few downsides of this cabin, we would stay again as it really is lovely.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr, 2020
Thank you for your kind review! A note about the hot water you may have missed in the Guest Guide which pointed this out: The property features an on demand hot water heater, which is a state-of-the art system that conserves energy, and unlike a conventional tank heater you will never run out of hot water!. Since it is heats water on demand by sensing when water is being used, it requires a minimum flow and may not sense low flow such as used for for shaving or to rinse dishes for example. You simply need to fully open the spigot and there is plenty of hot water. If you would have inquired during your stay, we could have easily addressed. Thanks again for your review and you are welcome back anytime!
