Avis Elmwood · Elmwood Escape ★ A Cozy Retreat at The Hideout ★

The pictures look great. The reality is a very small, musty cabin with uncomfortable furniture that is too big for the space. Upon arriving I was met with a large dead raccoon, a bag of dog poop at the door and a very moldy grill on a wet moldy deck that I wouldn’t even let my dog sit on. I let the “superhost” know as soon as we arrived about the issues and they quickly responded. They offered me a credit and sent a cleaner over. I still have not received the credit despite reaching out twice and there was no way I would have put food on that grill even after cleaning. Overall communication with the host was unclear, confusing and contradictory. I will add that the host’s name changed throughout our chat so I had no idea with who I was even communicating. This is clearly an investment property where corners were cut and no one has any sort of personal interest in. The community was awesome and I would definitely go back but I’d choose a different house.

My husband and I spent the weekend at the Elwood Escape for our wedding anniversary. We really enjoyed the set up of the home and we spent a lot of time in the back yard by the fire pit. We took advantage of the hikes and were able to bring our small dog with us. We also loved that one of the restaurants/bar was across the street from the home and were able to walk to the location. Over all we enjoyed this nice quiet escape from the city.

Nice cottage in The Hideout. Close to front gate so easy in/out access. Owners are easy to work with and very responsive. House is very clean. Would rent here again in future.

Nice clean property. Owner very helpful. Definitely would recommend!

From the amazing decor to the amenities, the house was perfect for our family. Even with a bit of rain, we still enjoyed a nice game of poker in the upstairs area, and the beautiful view of the trees outside from most places in the house. Jennifer was very responsive and my questions were answered promptly! We will definitely be going back!
