• Beautiful and accommodating

  5/5

  The cabin was great, clean and very accommodating. Nestled in a densely wooded spot with frequent wildlife views from the balcony. The fresh mountain air was pleasant to breath. Absolutely hope to revisit.

  Perfect location. Clean and well stocked kitchen. Have seen other comments on the road access-it is not terrible and the norm for the area.

  The cabin was fairly nice. Was a little frustrated at first as the listing said 2 twin beds and we couldn't find the other (It was under the other twin down stairs). Like other reviews stated, the dirt/gravel roads were kinda cruddy; not the property owners fault. Similar to roads where we're from so it wasn't to bad for us. They few issues that we experienced:- No vent in the kitchen for cooking on the stove. One morning, I went to make breakfast for the wife and kids and just a little smoke set off all smoke alarms in the house for 5 mins. Sadly, kids didn't get eggs for rest of the week. - The water temperature was kinda all over the place. Not able to get hot water in the kitchen and it would go from warm to hot while taking a shower (not hot enough to burn but hot enough to adjust down some)- Feels like there is a step missing outside. When walking from the drive way up to the front stairs, every step is good until you get to the last one. It was twice as high as the others. - With 6 of us, the garbage can outside got full quick. We had to leave a day early and it was completely full. - Some garbage scattered on the property. Not necessarily on the owners. Being Midwest nice, the kids went around and picked it up. There was also left over garbage in the can. - Talking about Midwest nice, the wife found several things in the cabinets left over from previous vacationers that were way past expired. To make sure no one got sick, she threw some o

  Hi Kyle, we want our guests to arrive at a vacation home that’s 100% ready for their stay, so we take feedback like yours seriously. After reviewing your comments with the homeowner, they’d like to share the following:
  
  - The second twin bed is a trundle, tucked underneath the other downstairs twin, and we’ll work with our team to ensure this is made clearer in the listing.
  - The roads leading to the cabin are maintained by the county and can be rougher after the snowmelt, though they’re typically manageable with a standard vehicle in warmer months; 4WD is recommended in the listing.
  - The kitchen doesn’t have a vent hood, but with high ceilings and operable windows, there’s enough ventilation for typical cooking, though we’re sorry to hear your breakfast plans were disrupted.
  - The home uses a tankless water heater, which can lead to some temperature variation, especially at peak usage times. We'll take another look to see if adjustments can be made.
  - The landscaping is designed to blend with the natural slope of the property. We do note the stairs in our listing description to ensure guests know about them before booking our property. We are sorry you had difficulty with them.
  - The outdoor trash can has a set capacity and may fill quickly with larger groups. We’ve followed up with the cleaners to ensure it’s fully emptied before each arrival. Thanks for going the extra mile to pick up litter; snowmelt can occasionally uncover debris from neighboring areas, and we’ll continue to monitor the grounds more closely.
  
  Thanks again, and we hope that you keep us in mind for your future travels!
