Overall Nice Cabin

Accessing the cabin the first time was rough, as were the roads. GPS erroneously took us up the hill to a roadblock and we had to go back down, go to Walmart and start over. The cabin turned out to be much more "cozy", as its name implies, than we expected from the wide angle photos of the listing. It was immaculately clean, but failed to have little things like paper towels and garbage bags, which made another 1 hr round trip to Walmart necessary. The biggest problem we encountered was the fancy glass range hood which needs to be replaced or made higher as I bumped my forehead many times, once causing a gash in my forehead which resulted in yet another trip to Walmart to get bandages. (No first aid kit). I am 6 ft tall and the edge of the hood is just high enough to be out of my field of vision and each time I accessed the cooktop, I had to remember to squat down to prevent further injury. The views from the cabin are spectacular and, it proved to be quite comfortable.! The beds that other reviewers didn't care for were nice and firm and we enjoyed them. The local area had plenty to offer! We played pickleball each day, did some shopping and went on some very nice hikes in areas nearby. That hood seriously needs to be replaced. Having rented homes, condos and cabins fhrough VRBO many, many times before, this is the only one in which I was dissppointed.

Perfect home to see fall leaves

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we enjoyed our stay because the setting couldn't have been better. The views were beyond what we hoped for and made for awesome photos. The downside was the beds in all the rooms. Incredibly uncomfortable and made for a miserable night for everyone. The bedroom on the main floor also had some very strange noises all 3 nights that we did not get up to investigate.

Fantastic Cabin, Beautiful View, Interesting Water

So I want to share this first and foremost, the cabin was fantastic, the property management company were awesome and on top of things. Communication was outstanding.The only issue we had was the water in the house was a VERY dark color, even after we let it run for several minutes. This affected all water faucets, toilets, showers, etc. we called the property management company said it was an issue with a filter, they sent someone up, they replaced the filter and that helped A LOT. But the water wasn’t 100% clear, it still had a brown tint to it even after the filter was changed. We did not drink it. We completely understand it was well water…but it just didn’t seem clean.The other comment I’d share is that the property is listed as having a fire pit…..and it does. However, per the property management company, the HOA doesn’t allow renters to use the fire pits in the community, only the property owners. If things the case, that amenity should be removed from the listing.Again, the cabin, the beds, the property management company were all stellar. These are the only two challenges we had.
