Exactly what we were looking for. It’s a great little cabin in the woods, very secluded and Tom was so very nice. The place was well stocked with everything we needed. A real gem, would definitely come back.
My children and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Tom's cabin over Spring Break. The pond was a fun place for my kids to play and enjoy themselves. The cabin was clean and perfect for the four of us. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Very peaceful and quiet. Had an old retro vibe. My kids loved playing tthe old pinball machine.

Fun stay with bad cabin scenery
Overall a good experiance and fun, owner was nice and was willing to work with us if we needed anything. The only real issue was the scrap littering the woods on the driveway to the cabin such as mattress frames, fuel tanks, and other random odds and ends. The cabin interior was clean and well kept and the pinball machine was definitely a cool addition that made up for the scenery.
Cabin was a very cozy quiet spot. Loved the arcade machine and owner was very relaxed. You are within 5miles of beautiful hiking over at giant city state park. We will definitely be trying g to return. Only criticism was the cabin could use a good deep clean. Wasn't dirty by a normal person's standards, but if you are a neat freak you'll probably not be pleased

Picture
The picture on vrbo showed a house with a pond right off the back deck. That was not the house we got. Poor communication on what the property really is.
Upon entering the property the smell of old cigarette smoke and dust over powered me. The place was filthy. I immediately call VRBO to tell them I could not stay on the property. The VRBO agent put me on hold and reached out to the property owner who was on premises in no time. The unkind property owner asked me what the problem was and when I showed him the dried feces on the toilet and the dirt and hair in the tub he admitted it was his fault for not cleaning. When I asked him about the smell and the dust that was an inch thick on all the furniture his response was “ your the only person out of 400 that has complained.” I attempted to have more dialogue with him about my concerns but he told me to get out. So my family and I left . We had to pay for a hotel room and to top it off VRBO won’t help me at all. They refused to refund my money. I have video evidence and all. Buyer beware! The owner is aggressive and mean.
We started off with the wrong address to the cabin. We were give the address to cabin three when we booked cabin two. We re

So much to say...Communication with the owner went well. He was very nice and knowledgeable about the area. He gave a lot of suggestions for where to go and what to do although he seems to be a bit scattered in his thought processes.
The cabins are located close to town, tucked away in the trees. If your not careful you will miss the drive to get to them. Once you turn into the road leading to the cabins, cabin one will be on your left. This is the cabin we saw online and booked but when we got our email, we were told cabin three. So, we continued down the drive. Here you will find a lot of junk laying aside the road, really unkept and "hillbilly" style.
Once we got to cabin three, the deck and exterior could use a lot of cleaning up, if you plan on sitting outside, know the table, chairs etc. will need to be cleaned unless you want dirt on your clothing.
Once inside the cabin however, you will find an eclectic mix of furnishings and decor. The cabin interior is clean and well kept.
Tom was a gracious host who was nice enough to introduce himself and being us more firewood when we needed it! I give this little secluded piece of heaven a 10/10! Thanks Tom!!
Our host were available, friendly and helpful. We visited/ toured all of the cabins on the property during our stay. Each unique and cozy in their own way. Quaint, quiet and relaxing. We will stay there again.
We will definitely be back to Cabin #2! It is in a good location to be able to get to places and things to do. Secluded, but not out in the middle of nowhere. We didn’t get to use the little pond, but that would have been fun to float around on a bit! Thanks for sharing your place Tom & Martha!
