A co-worker and I stayed here for 3 nights while in town for a job. It was great for our needs and nicer than staying in a small hotel room.

It was a very nice, quiet little cabin in the woods, for the most part it fit our needs perfectly, the only thing missing was washer and dryer, other than that it was an amazing stay

Overall enjoyed the stay. Buetiful home and propert just what we were looking for. The only complaint is the sense of intrusiveness around security. We understand the need for exterior cameras. Didnt even have a fire because camera overlooking the fire pit left use feeling like we were being watches. Additionally, interior noise monitoring? What does that even mean.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We're so glad the home and property were exactly what you were looking for, and that you enjoyed your stay. We hear you on the security setup, and we appreciate you sharing how the camera near the fire pit affected your comfort. Your feedback about the monitoring approach is valuable, and we've passed it along to the team to review how we can better balance safety with the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere every guest deserves. We'd love to host you again. The VueStay Team

The property was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with pot and pans. Two beds out of the three were comfortable. We noticed that there was not alot of hot water, as I ran out of hot water within 5 min of my shower. The property does not have central air but has a air conditioner that works pretty well. Overall it very peaceful and we would visit again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad the space felt clean and peaceful and that the well stocked kitchen served you well. We're sorry the hot water ran short during your shower. If we would have know this while you were here we could have sent our maintenance team to look into it. Just so future guests know, the home is cooled by an air conditioning unit rather than central air, which is noted in the listing so it's clear ahead of booking. We'd be glad to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you this way. The VueStay Team

A fun place to hangout inside or outside. It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Loved the seasonal porch for some calm and quiet time. We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin and the quiet time we had.

Perfect 4th of July getaway

The house was so beautiful and cozy and had all the amenities we needed. The property is very spacious and the beaches were within 5 minutes. The location is ideal, we had lots of peace and quiet, very little traffic on our road, and the stars were a sight to see at night.

Great place! Will rent again!

Loved this place! It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked for any cooking needs. Location was perfect for us to attend a family reunion nearby. We will definitely rent again. Only complaint was that the AC was not turned on when we arrived - it was hot day and a window unit in the living room so the bedrooms were super hot and took all night to cool off.

Great nature getaway

We had a great weekend seeing deer on the property everyday, the cabin had everything we needed. Our only issue was the beds were too firm for us, I had to sleep on the couch all weekend but it didn’t take away from us enjoying our weekend away and I would recommend this cabin to anyone.

Very spacious and clean cabin. Nice remote location near lots of hiking! I liked that it was dog friendly and there was a 3 season porch and two regular porches. Very cozy and well equipped! A/C unit worked well and we appreciated having it.

Surroundings could pass for set from Deliverance

Despite poor curb appeal, overall cabin was fairly comfortable. Nice parks within 30 min drive. Highlight was spotting a smallish black bear enjoying the ripe raspberries surrounding the lawn. Screened porch very pleasant in early mornings and after sunset (Temps in high 80s and high humidity)
