Stay was great as always. Nice and relaxing. I took one star off cleanliness because the sun room had a strong cigarette smell. Other than that everything was good.

Disappointing experience
We rented this property with high hopes, but unfortunately, we left disappointed due to a few issues. Firstly, there were no working smoke detectors in the home, which is a major safety concern and a non-negotiable for me. Secondly, the hot tub was in terrible condition – the water looked green and filthy.For future guests, I hope these important matters are taken seriously and fixed promptly. It’s a shame because the location and overall layout of the home were nice, but safety and cleanliness should always come first.

Great place for a family getaway
Beautiful home that was well decorated for the holiday season. Plenty of space for an extended family of 18. Cleanliness was 10/10. Driveway was plowed and salted which was a great peace of mind with the winter weather. Would highly recommend. Hours of fun and laughter to be had in the many spaces.

Overall a great stay in a beautiful home.
Nonstick cookware was scratched up. Lots of cooking utensils provided. Corn kernals found in one bed, pinecones found in another. Plenty of towels provided, but could use more wash cloths. Night stand in master bedroom unstable. Liggts are dim, could use more/brighter lighting. Directions to home via Google Maps are about 1/2 mile off. Overall a beautiful home. Host very responsive to messages.

Family Getaway
We were a group of 12 (10 adults and two kids under 3) and fit comfortably at the property. Everything was as advertised in the property description except for the water access since the stars down to river were roped off. We'd stay again!

Good for large group
The property is large and equipped ok however the cleanliness was not great. We found a joint and numerous other pieces of trash around the basement rec room. The carpeting is in serious need of cleaning. It did not seem to have even been vacuumed. The property was advertised as being accessible to the river but the stairs leading there were closed off with caution tape, a fact that should have been communicated to us ahead of time. The basement was freezing but the upstairs was very warm making it hard to sleep. The layout is a little difficult for a large group for taking showers as one of the 2 full baths is ensuite in the primary bedroom on the main floor so it was only usable to the couple staying in that bedroom. There needs to be another shower in the basement, as it only has a 1/2 bath but has 3 of the beds down there. There was no guest book for recommendations and advice. The property worked well as far as sleeping arrangements for a large group for a local wedding. The hot tub was nice but found joints laying around it as well. The "smoking room" needs to have all the cushions cleaned. Do not use Google maps to find the property, street numbers are not in numerical order and it will take you the wrong way on the road. The private drive is difficult to see in the dark.

Perfect Wedding Weekend!
We stayed here for our intimate wedding with just siblings & parents. It was absolutely gorgeous & worked perfectly for a venue. The property manager was very quick to respond to questions and the house was extremely clean! The hot tub was perfect! The stairs to the river are currently broken so they are taped off but we didn’t mind.

Gorgeous Log Cabin
The property is absolutely beautiful. 5 stars for sure. We had 18 men here for an ice fishing event nearby. There is a lot of space and activities for the group in the house. My only advice for other large groups like mine would be to carpool. We had a lot of trucks and parking had to be carefully planned. The Host was awesome and communicated very fast to questions. Enjoy this cabin in the woods.

Home was roomie enough to sleep 4 family's with kids ranging 4 to19 years old. We all had fun playing pool, pin pong, karaoke, and playing in river. (Steps were kind of sketchy, but was told they are supposed to be repaired in August.) The guys fished a local lake and caught some nice bass and blue gill. Kenan answered any questions in a timely fashioned.
