Very Nice Weekend Away

We needed a family trip and this did the trick. It was perfect for 3 couples and there was plenty of space. It was walking distance to most of the places we wanted to go.

Bare Necessities

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin this weekend. The cabin was very clean and welcoming. My two boys enjoyed the pool table and arcade game. The only negative that we saw was that the foosball wasn't out. Other than that it was a solid 10/10. We are planning to go back next summer so we look forward to using your business again.

House is nice but needs maintenance and pest control

House is nice but top railing was not stable. The stairs were damaged that go from garage to 2nd story. The kitchen is on the third floor up and has ants. Over all our stay was great besides these things.

Great location

So close to town and the house had great games for the family (pool table, ping pong, old school standup video games, foosball). The beds were great and the kitchen was filled with everything we needed. The house needs a little attention (wobbly deck posts, warped deck, trees need pruning, gutters filled with pine needles, etc..) but it's a rental, so we didn't care.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy

Not like pictures. Poorly managed.

Came up for a friends birthday. All outside areas were very dirty and unkept. Grill was dirty and propane tank was empty. When we called they made us drive to the leasing office and pick up a replacement tank ourselves. Jacuzzi was dirty, the patio areas were covered in dust, leaves and spiderwebs. Inside the house was ok but nothing like the pictures. Empty booze boxes from previous visitors were on top of the shelves. The night we arrived asked them to come clean the outside and the girl at the front asked us to call in the morning because she had no way of communicating with the day staff???? Can’t you just leave a note or something? Why do guests have to jump through hoops to get things done right. We ended up cleaning everything ourselves. Good location but poorly managed property.
