    Check-in was simple, host was responsive, and amenities are nice. Cleanliness could be improved upon. Cob webs and dead bugs in bedrooms, hair in bathroom drawers, and there was a dirty plate with what looked like spaghetti still on it that was put away with the clean dishes. We had to go to Walmart and purchase some cleaning supplies. Could also use new pots and pans. We were unable to use the main tv in the living room because the cable box was broken. WiFi, when it worked, was very slow. Overall, we were happy with our stay. Next time, we would probably book the ruby cabin instead of the sapphire.

    Beautiful location

    The property was beautiful. Quiet and private. Loved watching the deer. And the kids really enjoyed the pond fishing. They had items that you tend to forget which was awesome. The beds were comfy and plenty of space was availabile for all of us.

    Great cabin

    Stayed at Sapphire Cottage during a hunting trip at Gus Engling WMA. The cottage was only 15 minutes from the WMA, making it a great location. Stayed with 2 aother hunting buddies. The cottage was well stocked coffee, soap, shampoo. Susan was a pleasure. Excellent communication and helpful when we needed assistance. Highly recommend and definitely plan to return to enjoy the beautiful property and great cabin. Susan, thank you do much for hosting us!
