Avis Take it easy and enjoy rustic cabin life

We arrived to a nice little cozy cabin, and enjoyed our stay for the most part. The kitchen was spacious & had everything necessary: microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker & hotplate. However, a few things did make our stay a little uncomfortable. The sink in the bathroom did not produce water, the “fireplace” was boarded up & unuseable with two very small space heaters to heat up the entire cabin. It took about 12 hours to heat the cabin & it felt warm finally by the time we left the next day. Since it was December, we could see our breath at night while in the bathroom & kitchen area it was so cold! Luckily warm blankets were provided, but it would have been nice to have a working fireplace for comfort. The dvd player uses a universal remote which was interesting to figure out..about 2 1/2 hours after messing with the manual & codes we got it working, but that was not an enjoyable spending of our time. Also the listing says “hottub” and there wasn’t even a bath or shower in the cabin so that needs to be taken off the listing. Our group made the fun we could being together, but would have had a more comfortable experience if the listing had been updated. This cabin would be better used in the summertime for sure!

Everything was perfect, from the quaintness of the cabin to the communication with the host! It was exactly as described, and we came prepared! The only thing that didn’t go as planned was the hot plate, we couldn’t get our water to boil for some mac&cheese, but we had a backup! Our puppies loved paddling around in the water, and the scenery was to die for!

We had our intimate wedding on the property. 12 people all together for the wedding and celebration. Then 5 people in the main house and my parents with their dog in the studio cabin. The space is beautiful, rustic and everything I expected based on the listing. Everyone loved the cabin and we had a great time. We hope to go back for our 1 yr anniversary and more if possible! Thank you!

All was good, it was nice to go back to a quiet place and unwind.

Walking in brought immediate memories of our family lake cabin. Emily is a gracious host and the lake is lovely

Other than some glitches on the VRBO site with communication, the property was exactly as described and much cleaner and up to date than a traditional rustic cabin. The property manager sufficiently made up for the communication flop and my family and I enjoyed our Father’s Day stay and would rent the cabin again.

The listing for this property is mostly accurate, but needs to be read very carefully. It is a summer cabin with very limited amenities. There is NO: adequate heating or insulation, cooking facilities, bathing, curtains on all windows, hot water, ladder to the upper bunk, working fireplace, nearby parking, or safe walkway from the road. There is an electric kettle and hot plate. The dock is down a stairway along the cliff face. Auto parking is beside the road. The walk from the parking to the cabin is a significant distance, steep and a combination of dirt and broken concrete. For our visit, the cabin was dirty and the hide-a-bed was uncomfortable even to sit on. The frame was rusted and especially dirty. We would recommend this cabin only for a young family that would enjoy roughing it, or travelers needing only a bed. Be sure to communicate with the owner in advance about the entrance code and bedding. It is not automatically stocked and there is no extra in the cabin.
