Disliked: Location
It’s a beautiful cabin, but not well maintained. There were weeds all over the front yard. The manager said someone was coming to clean them up, but never did. The air conditioning was monitored and we had to call several times to have it lowered. There is not a proper dining room. There was some weird table instead of the table in the pictures. There was a large table on the deck but it was hot. It was too hard to carry food downstairs. The games in the game room were all broken. Broken net on ping pong, big hole in basketball game, and air hockey wouldn’t turn on. Overall not a great experience.

This property was very comfortable for a large group. We had no complaints. Lots of things for the kids to do.Due to the amount of stairs inside as well as to your parking space you probably need to post not handicapped accessible.

Awesome family weekend house!

We all had a blast at this very comfortable house! The home has everything you need and the kiddos loved the garage/basement game room. There were many hang out spots for visiting. All the beds were very comfortable too. We loved it all!

We enjoyed the beautiful home. However, we had to wash our own bedding. The sheets and blankets were dirty. The washing machine did not work well. We had to rewash the same load a couple of times. And make sure we were watching it because it would stop randomly.

Birthday Celebration

We needed a house for our entire family to visit and enjoy an 80th birthday! Perfect house for a family with younger kids. The gameroom games were all a huge hit to keep all ages entertained!

We enjoyed our daughter’s birthday weekend at this beautiful cabin. It’s the perfect cabin for multiple families with enough space and games to keep the kids occupied. Thank you for allowing us to rent the home for the weekend.

Payson getaway

We rented this property with two other families for a baseball tournament over Memorial Day weekend. The property was great. The gathering spaces between the living room, the game room, and the wrap around patio were amazing for everyone to hang out. There was also a ton of space for everyone to have privacy while sleeping. The property was close and convenient to town. Would highly recommended this property to anyone with a large group who is looking to get away.

We had a great time overall, with a few exceptions. The A/C didn’t work properly, and although Scott was fantastic about trying to fix it by sending someone to check the unit, the house was simply too big for it to cool efficiently—especially the bedrooms in the basement. The first night was pretty uncomfortable, and it took about 15 hours for the house to cool down. Even then, the basement bedrooms stayed warm. Once the upstairs finally cooled off and the sun went down, things were much more enjoyable. We also noticed that the neighbors were not very friendly, which put a bit of a damper on our stay. On the bright side, we did get to see elk from the back patio, which was a wonderful experience.

Beautiful house...but

The house was beautiful, but there are things that aren't in the description of the property. Extremely limited parking for the amount of people was a problem. The house was freezing cold and took 12 hours to get the heat up to a comfortable range. I left a note of several things that needed to be repaired or added to accommodate a large group. As a VRBO host myself, you don't always know something is broken if no one tells you. The house was lovely, but the extra fees would keep me from rebooking.
