  4/5

  PROS- This property is beautifully nestled in the Mountains of Duck Creek Utah; it is Semi secluded- neighbors are a decent distance away/they are not on top of each other. Beautiful area for getting out and enjoying what Mother Nature has to offer! Just down the Hillside from the Cabin runs Strawberry Creek, depending on the time of year you visit it will be flowing or frozen, either are beautiful. The Cabin is well equipped for what you may need in the kitchen and bedding. The Electric Fireplace in the living room is a nice feature. It definitely gives off the rustic cabin vibe which is what we were looking for. Washer and Dryer are on premises, the Pool table in the Basement area is nice. Notes to come prepared for a great experience- yes this is an older Cabin and the floors creek, they really creek. The person sleeping in the main level of the Cabin with others above in the loft are very affected by those above during the night, moving around in bed, going to the bathroom etc. Wood Burning Stove is nice but, there was not any wood to burn to heat the house. it has just snowed a few days prior, so we weren't able to locate any dry wood. The Cabin doesnt have central heating, which is expected, however, to not have wood for the wood burning Stove or the Fire Pit was difficult, we had brought the Axe as mentioned in a review, but nothing to chop it with. The bedrooms are freezing, we located 2 space heaters, which worked well in the master bedroom, the Basement area with bathroom and pool table is literally like a freezer and the space heater isnt enough to heat the entire area to be able to enjoy this feature (worked good warming the bedroom in the basement) but to go to the bathroom during the night :(Smell- Im not sure if this is an issue in Duck Creek or just property but there is a "sewer-musty smell" that is thru out the cabin consistently. Preparedness for guests: as mentioned it had snowed 2 days prior to our arrival. The driveway is a Ushaped gully. With that said, as the snow is melting it flows to the bottom of the driveway where you park. At night when the temps drop to 12 degrees, all the mud and melted snow refreezes. Snowplow from the road piles snow at the top of the drive on both sides. 1/2 bag of salt was all we had -no shovel, wood, tools anything that could be used to clear the mess in and at the top of the drive. Used the axe we brought to break the ice, had to walk quite a ways to find a shovel I could borrow. Had to get crafty

• No hot water for most of our stay, in the snow.

  2/5

  Unfortunately, the water heater was broken and so upon arrival there was no hot water. I messaged the host and they sent a handyman (who was great) the next day who temporarily fixed the hot water, but it was only enough for one shower so we were not able to bath our two kids. The handyman came back out again and fixed it again, but only temporarily we got one bath out of it and then it was gone again. We ended up leaving a day early as we have two young kids and it was pretty cold so we had to head home so we could all get a shower. The Wi-Fi was also intermittent at best. Don’t expect high speeds in the mountains, but it was barely functional.We messaged the host about getting a discount because of these issues and they basically said we resolved it with the Handyman and so no discount for you which is pretty appalling given we didn’t have hot water for 50% of the time and couldn’t even have more than one shower or bath before running out of hot water. I would stay somewhere else to avoid issues, the place does not seem overly well maintained.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Ben, we want all our guests to have a seamless and comfortable stay, so we’re sorry to hear that the hot water wasn’t consistent during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - As soon as they were notified, we sent a handyman who made two service calls to restore the hot water. During the final visit, the handyman tested the water and confirmed it was running hot before leaving.
  - Our cleaning team also verified the next morning that the hot water was working properly.
  - While mountain Wi-Fi may not always be as fast as in other locations, it is functioning at its full capacity and is typically reliable for remote work.
  We understand how frustrating it must have been to experience these challenges, and we appreciate your feedback. We’ll continue working with the homeowner to ensure future guests have a smooth and enjoyable stay.

• Great Experience

  The cabin was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The surrounding area was beautiful and access to the cabin was easy to get to. The property checkin was smooth and the property manager was easy to communicate with and fast to respond! Overall we had a great experience!

  Very nice cabin, nice view, only the wifi services have very little data and I think it's a shame that they charge for cleaning if you have to leave it clean.
