• Pictures on the listing were not accurate

  3/5

  Broken railing with caution tape on it, dirty and cracked chairs by the fire pit, screens on the porch were missing or torn, no wood for fire pit, wifi didn’t work, grill was disgusting, cobwebs inside the cabin and the park for the kids had caution tape all over it that said no trespassing.

  The host was very nice and did her best to accommodate us but this place needs a little TLC.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Kevin, we appreciate you sharing your feedback and are glad to hear the host worked hard to accommodate your family during your stay. After discussing your experience with the homeowner, they wanted to address your concerns directly:
  -The porch railing has been repaired, but the spindles are still being replaced as part of ongoing updates.
  -The plastic chairs by the fire pit were damaged by a previous guest, and the homeowner will ensure replacements are provided.
  -The porch screens are being removed, and the listing has already been updated to reflect this.
  -Firewood is not currently provided for the fire pit, but this detail has been added to the listing for future clarity.
  -Wi-Fi and cell service can be spotty in this remote, forested location, depending on the provider, weather, or traffic in the area. This information has also been added to the listing to better prepare future guests.
  -The grill and interior are regularly cleaned, but the homeowner will follow up with their cleaning team to ensure cobwebs are addressed more thoroughly.
  The homeowner is working through updates and repairs while continuing to invest in this property’s maintenance. Thank you for helping us identify areas for improvement. We’re confident future guests will enjoy the peaceful forest setting and a refreshed experience, and we hope to have the chance to host you again!

  If you live in the city it's a great place to recharge your connection with nature.

• I love this place

  5/5

  We first visited in 2015, and fell in love with the grounds, cabins, and Bob. He was one of the nicest people you would ever meet. The cabins were rustic, quiet, and in the middle of nature. Loved coming here to get away from life, and enjoy the peacefulness.

  Sadly, this world lost Bob, and White Oaks have new ownership. Guess what, they only made it better. They are working hard to update everything (wifi, tvs, and even Bob's Activity barn).

  White Oaks is still an amazing place to visit to get away from the world. We will definately be back, and encourage everyone else to visit.

  5/5

  My best friend and I were looking for a secluded cabin for a tech-free reading vacation and came across several listings for the White Oaks cabins. We picked this one because it appeared to offer everything we needed.

  First off, the host was great, answering all my questions and offering help for whatever we needed.

  Checking in was flawless thanks and the welcome text included a map and helpful hints. Definitely drive cautiously, the gravel road is not one to be taken quickly. The cabin had a beautiful old charm but also every amenity we needed. We didn't use the wi-fi much but the signal was strong. The furniture was clean and comfy. I already miss the recliner. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and serve meals. The beds were comfy and we both slept perfectly well.

  The cabin is showing its age, but to us that was just a picture of how loved it is. There's some wear and tear that fussier people might complain about, but it didn't bother us at all. The one suggestion I would make is that the bathroom needs a stronger light. It was a bit of a dark shower.

  I look forward to booking again. It was a lovely time
