Great Family Stay

My friend, parents, sister, and her husband and 2 children stayed here during my wedding and found it to be great spot for all 3 generations! There was plenty of entertainment for weeks and also nice quiet places to tuck away. The driveway is serious! Bring good shoes and listen to the advice in the listing.

Honest Review

This is the first time in my extensive experience with VRBO that I have felt compelled to lodge a complaint or request a refund. I believe it is imperative that this property be removed from the VRBO platform until the owner can provide evidence of proper maintenance and upkeep. The current state of the cabin presents both safety hazards and cleanliness issues that are unacceptable, especially at this price point. Do to character limitations I cannot provide a full review for this property. Steer clear.
