The ac had a hard time keeping up, but honestly most ac units would with a large place. Its understandable!. The hot tub was relaxing. The grill was dirty and there was mouse poop in drawers and food on the fridge handles. There was a dead mouse on a sticky pad outside a broken window and a broken door knob. Not complaining, just want to give a heads up for maybe the next guest in case they're a bit more picky. But overall it was a great much needed get away! The couches were super comfortable as well! And im in love with the layout of the place! Also, have a great day! Romans 1:18.

Kitchen was fully equiped for cooking. Nice size driveway and yard. Everything was clean. The heat distributed a little funky as the 2 downstairs bedrooms got a bit cold at night. Probably should add a note that there isn't any cell reception in the house (we had nothing on Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile). The wifi had good signal strength and was fairly fast and it was definitely our lifeline without reception :). Host had good communication.

My girlfriend group of four stayed as we were participating in the Mammoth March. The home was a bit challenging to find and the cell service is spotty but it was indeed a relaxing refuge following a grueling 20 mile hike! They had a well appointed kitchen, lots of towels and the air conditioning worked nicely! The hot tub was absolutely a dream after the hike!

I was very disappointed when we got to the house. Previous conversation with the renter and they told us there was a pool on the property, that is the main reason I rented the house. My kiddos were super bummed. We made the best of it, but don't rent it thinking there is a pool, you will be very sadly disappointed.

Could be fantastic..

House was nice enough and met the one level needs of my mom with mobility issues. However, one large issue i had with our stay was the wifi. The signal was super weak and we had connection issues.. tv would not connect at all. Host tells you to call with any issues, but there is zero cell service and no land line so wifi is necessary to do so. Was able to send messages on vrbo, but didnt get much help. Asked them to reset router, looked all over the house for it and couldnt find it.. service was great outside the house on one side but zero on the side with the hot tub (so no music while we were trying to enjoy it) okay in dining room, kitchen, and entry room, but didnt work in bedrooms downstairs or living room where the only tv was.. put 2 and 2 together and realized that the internet is coming from the business next door that the host company also owns. Explains why i couldnt find a router and was told that the internet wasnt working due to "being out in the woods" and the "weather" despite the dozens of reviews saying the internet sucks. Its a shame the host would rather lie to customers than get a wifi extender as suggested by so many reviews. Also wanted to note that when i specifically asked about the router i didnt get a response, nor did i get a response when i told them there were ants on the kichen island which got into some of our food. They make it clear they dont give refunds for bugs or wifi issues in their welcome book.

Hidden costs

The place was beautiful. My experience beforehand was quite negative as the overall price was quite a bit higher than the total cost I was quoted. Every time I try to find out why this was so I was told five times that the costs were clear, and if I just looked, I would find them. Obviously, if that was true, I wouldn’t have kept emailing asking for the summary of costs. It took two weeks to finally get a detailed invoice, which every other time I’ve stated VRBO that’s automatically provided. The other issue was when we arrived at the cabin. The temperature inside was 90°. They had turned the air conditioners on, but obviously just before we got in there because it did not cool down until 2 o’clock in the morning, and it was never comfortable while we were there. It was warm. Space is beautiful and there’s some great hiking trails. So I recommend it as long as you find out beforehand exactly what it will cost.

Birthday weekend

The property was great. Very roomie. Cell phone is not good in the area. Had some ants on the counter close to the microwave and toaster. Rained off and on all weekend and had some car troubles. But overall God was with us and blessed us with a great time and made a new friend as well.

Spacious & Private

Overall an okay experience. Lots of room & the property was relatively secluded from neighbors. However, there were many areas in the bathroom that my teenager dismissed as paint, but turned out to be bird poop—which we figured out when my youngest found a dead bird under her bed the morning of checkout. When I addressed this with the staff, she seemed to just dismiss me. I won’t rent from this company again because I feel that if something major would happen, they wouldn’t make it right.

Memorial getaway

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean, I did have to wash the frying pan before using, still had food on it from the previous tenants. I had forgot to bring spices, having a few basics in the cupboards would of been great. Other than that it was great stay, and woulddo it again..

Spacious, clean rural farmhouse

This house was perfect for our needs- a place for our family to stay for OU graduation and some time exploring HH after. The house is well appointed, well maintained and comfortable. The hot tub is large, clean and hot! We enjoyed sitting outside listening to the birds, swinging on the swing and soaking up the sun. I did want to go for a walk to get my daily mile in so I wandered down the side road. This isn’t really a place for that. Many of the neighboring homes are pretty run down but the home we stayed in felt safe. The employees at check in and check out were very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

Great trip!

For the price, this place is a steal! It was very clean, spacious, and had all of the things we were looking for. We had a great hike and enjoyed being outdoors the majority of our time. The only thing I would have liked better would be a contactless check in, instead of driving into town to sign in and get a key. All in all, this was the prefect two day getaway for the three of us and our two dogs!
