Loved seeing the old photos and antiques. Lots of character. Most of the 'flaws' come with the territory of renting an OLD cabin. However, the mattress is very worn. We enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

Vintage look with modern convenience
Super sweet My one complaint was it had a below average height toilet—not good for tall, senior, weak kneed folks but doable.

Did the job.
The bed was comfortable, the water was hot and I liked being able to cook and store things in the fridge. Watch out for the forest friends in the attic, though.

Pleasant surprise!
The perfect little rustic cabin get away tucked in the woods. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The loft for the kids was so fun for them and we had everything we needed.

The place was great and clean and well stocked. However, the kitchen sink leaked all over the counter and the tub leaked into the bathroom floor.

My husband took me away for a weekend here and he knew we needed to be out as far as we could get. And it worked perfectly! The house was amazing and the property was just beautiful! We had everything we needed plus and I was able to just read and relax all weekend.

It’s a quiet location and very cute. However some of the furniture could be replaced as in the bed and the couch. However it was very much needed to get away and unplug from time to time.

If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place. Beautiful countryside and close to adventure. We had fireflies by night and bunnies in the morning. The small stream was peaceful, and the area is beautiful.

This is a true Rustic Cabin in the woods off a good dirt road that was very clean and had exactly what you needed. I was disappointed the wood burning stove didn’t work as that is why I chose this cabin.

Cozy cabin
Cozy cabin. Decorated nicely. Do make sure you get there before dark. The road leading in is difficult to navigate. If going before the gas heaters are turned on, your should bring a small electric heater.

Peace and quiet
We had a wonderful time on the property we met the owner. He was a very nice man and we he dealt with my husband for a while about service so he was happy but it was clean. It was beautiful and it was quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. We had a great time. We were close to the places where we could go in and see what we wanted to say. We were very very, happy with our choice

Owner needs to spend some money on this place
I understand that this is a old mountain cabin but there are certainly things that need to be addressed. The management company was great and did everything they could to help us out including trying to find a new place for us.

Cozy little cabin
Our weekends stay here reminded me so much of our ancestral home back in the village. Everything here has a rustic charm.. my little one loved looking at old artifacts around the house like phones, old stove, old pots and pans etc.. We had no trouble getting here. Cause the GPS worked the entire time. Wifi was fine on the first day but barely worked the next day.. we were out and about so this wasn’t a big issue.. Overall the stay was good for the price we paid.

Quiet
This place has so much personality. I loved the antique decor. The mismatched eclectic feeling. You could feel the history in the walls. The road up is extremely narrow, but pretty smooth. We had no issues in a small compact car, but luckily never intercepted anyone coming up or down. Plenty of sleeping space. The pots and pans were in pretty rough condition but other than that everything provided was nice. It was very quiet. Very remote. There was some kind of magic in those walls and I could feel it. Although we could've used a bit more toilet paper lol

Very rustic cabin
Very basic, rustic home. Large space, put together in a very choppy fashion. Place was clean, except floor did not appear swept or mopped recently. Also, I was not prepared for lack of central heat/air, heat was through a variety of electric heaters throughout cabin.

Rustic, charming and off the beaten path
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as noted by the 5 star rating and our title. It was clean and spacious in a beautiful surroundings. One thing to note for future guests. There are multiple small step ups and steps downs of less than 5 inches. While they are clearly marked with orange tape, could still be a challenge to someone not as mobile. Also would recommend to install a handrail near the tub. It’s a beautiful cast iron tub, but can be difficult to get in and out of, especially if you older or aren’t as mobile.
