Poor communication

VRBO listing was misleading. Owner listed property as having Wifi in the house. I took a screenshot to show my friend whom I was booking the cabin with. In fact, I had filtered my search to show only those properties that had Wi-Fi. That’s how I found this listing. When we checked in, we contacted the host asking for the Wii password. The host said there is no WiFi, it’s for the hosts’ residence only. We had no choice but to stay there, and had to go to a local grocery 4+ miles away to check emails. There were no other listings nearby and it would have been the cancellation of our vacation if we did not stay there. We were not happy at all. Tried messaging host a few more times and was ignored. Do not recommend this listing. Beautiful location, deceitful host who does not communicate at all! We left early.

Will miss the pig!

Absolutely wonderful property and location that was so relaxing and fun for a weekend with friends. It's a well-equipped and well-maintained cabin that is cut off from the internet (much-needed amenity). The lake is amazing with great boats. Overall, no complaints, although a pier/floating dock would've been sick! Wish we could've stayed another night.

Simply Wonderful!

We chose to stay here for a family getaway to relax, hike, and see some fall foliage. It was perfect! Very quiet and truly unplugged. The lodging was top notch and very comfortable; It was a very spacious/accommodating cabin with that rustic feel we were hoping for but with all of the modern day amenities. There wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t already provided. Our children loved running around the farm and seeing all of the animals… a bald eagle, turkey vultures, cattle, deer, working dogs, and even one very cute pig who enjoyed some petting and some food scraps (apparently he was in a tiff with the other pig and retreated largely to our part of the farm lol). All whilst the grandparents enjoyed rocking on the porch with the most amazing view of the mountains or sitting by the fireplace. We were even lucky enough to get a bit of rain and see a rainbow appear right over the pond. The farm is vast and beautiful with plenty to see and do. Luke was very hospitable and introduced himself after happening upon us during a walk. He pointed out good places to visit on the farm and even gave us a short tour. We felt very safe our entire stay. The working dogs were out on the farm and on the job! It was actually quite cool to hear them baying far off in the distance. Definitely would go back. It’s been my husband’s favorite family trip so far.

Great getaway!

Views are amazing! My wife and I loved our stay and had a great time with all the hiking trails close by. Tons of wildlife all around! We really enjoyed eagle watching and the domestic residents as well. Especially the two pigs my wife wanted to take home with us. Cabin is very private and had everything we needed during our stay. Expansive grounds to explore on the property.

Words cannot describe how beautiful the views from the cabin are. You can spend the entire day exploring the beautiful property and fishing or just staying in enjoying the spacious property. The hosts couldn’t be more welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend, especially factoring in how great the price was.

Great weekend getaway!

Though the weather wasn't ideal, we had a great time! It rained the entire time we were there, which kept us in the cabin or on the porch. The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed. The ¾ porch kept us dry when we wanted to get fresh air and take in the view. Highly recommend and will be back

Excellent Stay!

This is a beautiful cabin in a beautiful location. The owners were super nice and very accommodating when we made a mistake checking in. Luke brought us flowers and offered worms for fishing. We enjoyed seeing the animals and getting a visit from Ferdinand, the pig. We would come back and stay there anytime!

Relaxing weekend

We had an amazing weekend at the cabin. It was great to unplug and just hang out as a family. My favorite part of the day was watching the sun rise while enjoying a cup of coffee. My kids enjoyed boating, fishing, and running around outdoors. We also played board games and watched movie on DVD player. They loved it when the pigs stopped by the house. We loved eating at White’s Wayside, located 15 minutes away. They have amazing fresh bread. Overall, an amazing weekend away and would highly recommend this cabin to others. We would love to come backs again!

This property was beautiful and clean. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. The DVD player did not work, however it just gave us time to hangout with each other and play games! Ferdinand was the best part and is the sweetest guy! Loved this property and would love to come back again!
