The Guest Cottage in Lake City

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! You’re absolutely right- the cottage is cozy, and it’s probably best if you’re on good terms with your roommate. We’re glad it was just what you were looking for, and we’d be happy to host you again anytime. Safe travels!

Thank you so much! Looking forward to it!

Thank you for the review. I’ll take a look at the settings on the hot water heater. Seems like your experience was positive overall, yet you have a 40% satisfaction rating. Is that accurate? Thank you!

Hi Walter, I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, but I do need to correct several statements that are simply not accurate. Our listing does not advertise a patio, outdoor furniture, or a television — none of these are listed in the amenities or shown in the photos. We make every effort to represent the space exactly as it is so guests know what to expect before booking. When asked about a TV, I explained that we don’t have one because most guests come to enjoy the peaceful mountain setting — not because we’re trying to limit anyone’s experience. I understand that may not have suited your preferences, but it was communicated clearly in the listing. The bed and sofa are both clean, newer, and in good condition. Describing them as “crunching plastic” is inaccurate and misleading. Honest feedback helps us improve; inaccurate statements do not. We take pride in being transparent with our guests and providing exactly what’s described. I hope VRBO reviews this and flags the dishonest claims for removal, as they do not reflect the property or our listing in any truthful way. Sincerely, Hunter (booking manager l)

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I apologize that the supplies and details you mentioned weren’t up to expectations — that’s on us, and we’ll make sure those items are better stocked moving forward. We do a thorough cleaning between guests, but I’ll have the shower re-checked and address the spiders and trash situation as well. For future guests, please know we’re always just a message away and happy to bring over anything extra you might need during your stay. I’m glad you still enjoyed the place overall, and I appreciate your input to help us improve.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the cabin’s curb appeal, shower, and vanity, and we sincerely apologize that several light bulbs were out at check-in — that has been addressed. For clarification, the cabin is advertised as having a kitchenette (not a full kitchen), and all furnishings are shown in the listing photos and description, including the absence of nightstands and a coffee table. We want guests to know exactly what to expect before booking, which is why we make every effort to present the space accurately. The step into the bathroom is pictured in the listing, while the step down into the kitchenette is not as obvious, and we’ll work on making that clearer for future guests. Regarding the heater: during the summer months, when temperatures are in the 90s, we disconnect the stove heater for safety, but it is available for use in the colder seasons. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to make the cabin as comfortable as possible for future visitors.
