8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Tough place to get to. Well appointed. Good a/c. Good water pressure. Bigger than expected.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
This place was perfect for the family and our pets. The pictures don’t do justice to the amount of space you get. This place was much larger in person than the pictures show. The back yard was very spacious and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Wish we would have gotten pictures of the deer in the back yard. My daughter loved the creek at the bottom of the hill. We also love the price as it was not over priced like some of the other cabins. Will definitely be back.

Very relaxing atmosphere and plenty of room for family.
6 / 10Average·May 2025
The property and the house were lovely. Just enough space for everyone, and the dogs loved the open yard. However almost all the little things didn’t work. Such as: The guest tub drain.The surround speakers.The jets in the master bath.The floors were filthy. All the light switches are on the wrong light for some reason so you have to play a game before you go to bed lol. There were no balls for the foosball table.The microwave didn’t work.A hot tub was advertised in the description and there was no hot tub. And for some reason there were a lot of spiders inside. So yeah, it was a great property, just needs upkeep.
