• Great cozy place

  The apartment was extremely clean and great for our two night getaway. Close to many adventures. The little details left by the host were much appreciated! Description was perfect

  This property was an absolute disappointment and falls into clear false advertising. It’s described as a 'cabin,' but it’s actually a loft above a garage that’s part of the owner’s home. The listing claims the owner may be on-site — in reality, they live in the same structure, and the noise from the garage door disrupts any sense of privacy or peace.

  The yard was overrun with wasps, ticks, and dog waste from previous guests. As well as dog bones that were underneath the kitchen sink. If you're going to allow pets, the property should be cleaned accordingly — that’s basic hospitality. Within five minutes of letting our dogs out, one of them had a tick attached, which we had to forcefully remove. This is a serious health hazard — ticks can carry dangerous diseases, and we did not feel safe staying.

  We had booked Thursday through Sunday but left within the first hour of arrival. It was simply too risky to remain there with our family. When we reached out to the host for even a partial refund, he refused — a disappointing and telling response. Based on our experience, I strongly suspect many of the positive reviews are not genuine.

  This was one of the worst stays and hosts I've ever encountered. I would never recommend this property to anyone

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Sabrina, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  -The listing clarifies that this is a guesthouse attached to the owner's home, and this was also discussed prior to your arrival when you reached out with concerns.
  -The garage door is used minimally and not between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. to help ensure guests’ comfort and privacy.
  -The yard is regularly treated for pests, but we understand nature can sometimes bring unexpected visitors. We’ve flagged your feedback with the team to ensure everything is in great shape for future guests.
  -We’re sorry to hear about the dog waste and appreciate you bringing it to our attention—we’ve reminded the cleaning crew to double-check the yard and home between stays.
  Thanks again for your feedback—we’re always working to improve the guest experience.

• Amazing property and ammenities!

  Our stay was very relaxing. The property setting is outstanding. The apartment was up to date and all the amenities where outstanding. We enjoyed the covered patio and using the gas grill.
