Escape! Scenic Views, Wildlife & Hot Tub

Thank you for staying with us — I’m really glad to hear you and your family enjoyed the cabin. It’s always great to know guests had a comfortable and enjoyable visit. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.

I want to clarify a few points for future guests who may read this. Water Temperature: The lukewarm shower water was caused by a mechanical issue with the tub handle. The hot‑water stop had snapped, which allowed the handle to turn past the true maximum‑hot position. When rotated fully left, it actually moved into a range where cold water mixed back in, making the hottest setting appear lukewarm even though the home had full hot water available. I discovered this issue in late June and repaired it immediately. Communication: I never received any message from you during your stay regarding water temperature, cleaning concerns, or bedding odor. When guests notify me during their visit, I always respond promptly and address issues in real time. Floors / Barefoot Discoloration: We sweep and mop thoroughly after every checkout. The floors were clean. However, Bona and other wax‑based hardwood products can still discolor bare feet even when the surface is fully clean. This is a characteristic of the finish, not a cleanliness problem. Bedding: I respectfully disagree that the bedding smelled of cigarettes. Without any notification during your stay, I wasn’t able to inspect the linens with you or address the concern while you were on site. I appreciate that this guest felt the property did not meet their personal expectations. However, I do feel that the 4‑star rating was beyond accurate and crossed into vindictive territory, especially given the lack of communication during the stay and the factual context provided above.

GREAT price too!

Thank you. We got a new hot tub cover just after your stay so the hot tub is even better!

Best review ever! :) Thanks Courtney.

Thanks Sandra, we a appreciate your stay.

i have a place in the city proper and its convenient to get to things but we prefer our places out in this area. Its calmer and more peaceful.

thanks for the review. For those reading its not a condo. Its a single family home or cabin.

Donna, it is a great view, isn't it? Thanks for booking with us. We hope to see again in the near future.

We try to provide lots to do with wood burning fireplace, arcade game, smart TVs, hot tub, etc. Great for family bonding. We appreciate your stay.

Patricia, You are always welcome. Thank you for the review. Ed

Monica, I have detailed directions to the 3 pools. I wish you would have asked. There should also be a copy in the book we leave for guests. Thanks for choosing to stay with us.
