  Overall an enjoyable stay. The cabin itself was very nice with nice amenities like the heated toilet seat and heated towel rack. Biggest critique is the location. It was in a gated community, and took a while to get outside the community. Because of that, all groceries and food was a minimum 20 minute drive away, most of it farther. Lakes and community center were nice but also required getting in the car, but that was a lot closer. We did go during the off season, so I’m sure this would be a lot nicer with the lakes and pools in full service. Only other note is to make sure you bring sandwich bags and other food storage because the kitchen is not fully stocked. Besides that, the place is really nice. The woods are very peaceful and it’s a very comfortable stay!

  From the owner: "We’re glad to hear you enjoyed our home and appreciate your feedback. We were sad to see the 8/10 rating. The home’s remote setting is intentional, designed as a peaceful getaway from the usual hustle and bustle. We encourage guests to review the location before confirming their booking. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and food storage containers for use during your stay. To support our eco-friendly practices, we don’t provide single-use containers, so guests should bring their own if they’d like to take food home. We hope you’ll visit again soon to enjoy more of what the area has to offer."

  Quiet property - nice getaway . As a senior it was difficult to walk my dogs with a motion lite on the front of the home . Difficult going up and down stairs with a light that did not stay on . Hard to get lock box open in the dark with a phone flashlight . Had to go to DG to get a broom and swifter refill ti leave home clean . Could not locate at the property . Four roaches found in BR and kitchen . Some type of wild life in the wall between the two bedrooms . Nicely decorated . Screen door detached from patio door .

  From the owner: We were surprised by your review, and we'd like to clarify the following;
  - We expect our house rules to be followed not only for our safety but also for the guests and the property. You registered one pet and brought two. You also did not clean up after your dogs, which included a ruined entrance mat due to dog urine.
  - We have motion sensor lights that stay on with motion, but turn off to protect the wildlife.
  - We provide our guests with a vacuum, broom, and Swiffer; they are located in the closet.
  - This is the first time we've heard of any animals in the wall, but we will look into it.
  - We have never had any issues with pests of any kind, and we have proof of the condition of the home before your arrival. If the door is left open, insects from the forest can enter, and you may have mistaken the species.
  - The screen door is attached, and we also have photographic proof prior to your arrival. 
  - We wish you had contacted us; we would have done our best to help you. We never heard from you about any of these issues.
  
  We try our best to be understanding, but with the condition you left our home, we feel it necessary to respond honestly.

  Great little cottage in a very nice community that was clean, warm and welcoming! We all loved it; my parents who are in their 80's, me 60, my daughter 30 and my senior dog (who didn't want to leave, and we had to pick her up and put her in the car - she's 50lbs, she kept sitting at the door waiting to be let in).Commnication with the property manager and owner (via PM) was quick.Would stay again in the future!
