Cozy cottage
Overall very nice cottage. We had a lovely time and the views were amazing. Not great ventilation in the place and the water did not stay warm for longer than a couple minutes but that was in the description so we were prepared for that. We spent a lot of time innthe juccuzi and the wifi worked well enough with only a few hiccups here and there, which is to be expected as the property itself was secluded. The fridge didnt seem to cool much but i communicated this with the property owner. We would definitely stay here again but it would be better suitted for 2 people rather than 4. Overall a lovely homey place.

Great View
The home was cute and the view was awesome. It was a bit close to the main house and the access was down a trail which was not well lit especially in the dark. Other than that the hot tub and the view were really great! The option of the second bed was also a nice touch!

No privacy
We weren’t very happy with our stay. Although the property itself is unique and beautiful, we felt like we were being watched. My daughter and I were using the hot tub and took a break for a snack. We stepped away from the hot tub for maybe 10-15 minutes. My husband was approached by the owner in an angry manner about putting the lid on the hot tub. He was looking at us from his property and that makes me uncomfortable. We also saw a camera pointed directly at our patio area where the hot tub is. It’s unacceptable. I called to make a report and still haven’t received a call back to resolve the issue. Also, the stove didn’t work and WiFi was very spotty.

Cozy cave
Cozy place with lovely views and great private hot tub. Only downside is the flood light in the parking area that shines through the windows all night. Not ideal if you like it dark when you sleep.

Beautiful dome house above the river
I booked this place for two top reasons; The fact it was out in the country with a river view And because it had a hot tub on the deck I was disheartened that the hot tub was not functioning. I reached out to the property owner( right next door) and she said she knew nothing about the hot tub, but her husband did. I then reached out to the property manager- left a message and sent a text- never got a reply. I loved the done house itself. And the view was amazing!!!

Although the property is beautiful and unique, we didn't appreciate the feeling of being watched during our stay. The owners live right next store and have a view directly to the patio and hot tub area. My daughter and I were using the hot tub and stepped out for a few minutes to grab a snack. Within 10-15 minutes the owner went up to my husband and told us we had to close the lid of the hot tub when not in use. Not in a friendly manner either. That man was watching us and it left me feeling yucky. There is a visible camera out back as well that we saw from the other property. I don't think that is ok. Also the stove wasn't working so we couldn't cook inside.

Review
The vacation home was overall very beautiful, cozy, quiet and peaceful. The river in the back was soothing and relaxing. However, the biggest reason I reserved this place was for the hot tub and the hot tub didn’t even work and there was a review from last month (April 2024) that expressed the same issues I had with the hot tub not working. This should have been fixed before renting it out to the next guest, being that is one of the sell points of the property. Additionally, the hot water was only warm about 6 minutes then turning very cold. There was 2 of us that stayed here and only one of us was able to use it until the next day. The bathroom sink was also clogged when we used it. (could use some drano) we are coming back out for an event In June and I’d love to consider staying here again if the items mentioned above are fixed.

Gorgeous River Views
We really enjoyed our stay here. We felt very relaxed, loved the views, the hot tub and the comfy bed. Some things that could be improved- very bright flood light fills the unit up with light at nighttime (had to hang beach towels over the existing window covers). We really enjoyed it. Feel very relaxing with the views in the hot tub in the complete bed but some things I could be improved. Here was the very bright flood light that filled up the room at night time we had to hang him beach towels over the existing curtains and lack of privacy for the bathrooms, and that the kitchen probably could use some more cooling tools. Beware that the bathroom is not private/separate from rest of the unit. Overall we had a lovely stay.

Disappointed
Cute little cottage. Unfortunately your experience was disappointing and anxiety-filled. There is little to no privacy, seeing how the owners live next door and their balcony and windows face the cabin directly. The blinds are very thin and the porch lights make it hard to sleep. Upon entering the cabin the back door was wide open it smelled of damp and mold. The hot tub was dirty with residual scum on the filters and pine needles. Again little to no privacy on back porch. The hot tub water left a rash on your skin. Went to go wash our clothes and found a dead mouse in the washer. Was a cute cabin with an amazing view. But unfortunately the stay did not reflect which was listed.

Disappointed
It’s a cute property in the woods, which we loved. There is just little hot water, not enough to support (2) showers, and barely one (as my daughter complained of it getting cold quickly). The shower is also not nice and the first day of showers, I ended up having to take an entirely cold shower. We also noticed after a day (when we left and came back) that we could smell mildew/mold. It is because of these two reasons we ended up checking out a day early. I don’t like to give bad reviews but I also don’t want someone to have the same experience we did.

We love the beautiful surroundings and we enjoyed the hot tub after a long drive. The place is big enough for the 4 of us to spread out, my son was able to sleep on the couch. We had problems with communication, no one answered my questions before or during the stay. I wanted to know about what kind of grill they have on the property because all the stores would be closed when we arrived the day before Thanksgiving. The Wi-Fi dropped completely not just intermittently, and we were without WiFi during Thanksgiving. TV also went out without WiFi. My son figured out how to reset the router and we were able to gain access again. It would have been so simple to leave a note for guests to find and reset the router. Other than communication and WiFi issues, the place had everything we need. I brought a few other kitchen appliances because I didn’t hear back from the owners. The electric kettle and electric griddle I brought turned out to be very useful.

Looks nice but do t be fooled . Filthy spiders lair
This won’t be nice I’m afraid . Close to many little shops and hiking trails (but none of the 2021 dated literature tells you about anything in the local area.) We found them due to All Trails app. The shower pressure is a slow drizzle of cold/luke warm water. In fact all the water pressure was terrible I’ve lived in 3rd world countries with better water pressure. The bathroom sinks drains very slow and is cracked. It drained so slow we stopped using it. See the pictures. Cobwebs and spiders: we killed over 50 and that’s not an exaggeration we counted. That’s an infestation in my opinion. Literally every corner had cobwebs , over the bed, over the kitchen, the couch. Lighting and temperature issues, the place is muggy and even with the ac / vent running it’s a damp semi greenhouse effect making your towels never really dry. It’s a damp cool feeling 24/7. The outside flood light stayed on all night so you felt like you were sleeping in a van in a parking lot rather than a bungalow. Amenities: the dryer barely worked, there was a K cup but no coffee pot , the dishes were dirty with nice coffee stain in the cups and food stuck to plates and forks. No instructions on the stove at all. It did have a mini fridge Overall this place is 100% not what we were expecting or was presented in the site. We are completely disappointed and feel this was false advertisement at best. I would recommend people stay at any big chain hotel before here. Shouldn’t have to sweep for cobwebs

Great escape
This home had everything we were looking for: it was private, the view was beautiful, close enough to drive in and out of town and rural enough you felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. We watched eagles from the balcony, and hot tubes into the night. Loved the design of the home, and will for sure be back again. Thank you!
