Very convenient location, easy to find, super clean, bed was very comfortable (the mattress was a little noisy with some kind of plastic covering I'm assuming), I love the extra large shower! We were not there much, however, I would 100% stay there again on our next Lake City adventure!

This was a great stay! I would note that I wouldn't necessarily want to stay here with anyone I wasn’t completely comfortable with -as there is little to no privacy, like for bathroom use and such. Not necessarily a problem, it’s just the way it is-due to the layout and size. I loved the stay and the place and it was perfect for what I hoped for, but I was just thinking it might be awkward with anyone who isn’t comfortable sharing all aspects of life with their chosen roommate It was adorable and had everything one might need for a little stay in a great location! The host communicated well & helped with certain concessions that weren’t mandatory and I appreciated him very much. I’d stay again!

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! You’re absolutely right- the cottage is cozy, and it’s probably best if you’re on good terms with your roommate. We’re glad it was just what you were looking for, and we’d be happy to host you again anytime. Safe travels!

Host did not respond or was not available on day of check in. Cabin had no heat (fireplace was not working and did not work over the two days we were there. The host did bring two space heaters the following morning, one of them never worked. Location was poor as it was right on Main Street and across from ATV rental/repair business. Overall we tried to make the best of it but it was a disappointing experience.

Thank you for the review. I’ll take a look at the settings on the hot water heater. Seems like your experience was positive overall, yet you have a 40% satisfaction rating. Is that accurate? Thank you!

Advertised a patio. There was no patio, no outside chairs or table. No Tv, the host said there is no tv because he wants guest to enjoy the mountains. After dark there’s not much to do except go eat or go to the tavern. The bed and couch sound like crunching plastic when you move around on them.

Hi Walter, I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, but I do need to correct several statements that are simply not accurate. Our listing does not advertise a patio, outdoor furniture, or a television — none of these are listed in the amenities or shown in the photos. We make every effort to represent the space exactly as it is so guests know what to expect before booking. When asked about a TV, I explained that we don’t have one because most guests come to enjoy the peaceful mountain setting — not because we’re trying to limit anyone’s experience. I understand that may not have suited your preferences, but it was communicated clearly in the listing. The bed and sofa are both clean, newer, and in good condition. Describing them as “crunching plastic” is inaccurate and misleading. Honest feedback helps us improve; inaccurate statements do not. We take pride in being transparent with our guests and providing exactly what’s described. I hope VRBO reviews this and flags the dishonest claims for removal, as they do not reflect the property or our listing in any truthful way. Sincerely, Hunter (booking manager l)

Fair

Only one roll of toilet paper for five days only two towels and two rags. Mold in the shower. Seen a few small spiders not a big enough trashcan for outside for two houses to share!! Needs more sheets and pillowcases if you’re gonna use the pullout couch. Other than that neat little place.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I apologize that the supplies and details you mentioned weren’t up to expectations — that’s on us, and we’ll make sure those items are better stocked moving forward. We do a thorough cleaning between guests, but I’ll have the shower re-checked and address the spiders and trash situation as well. For future guests, please know we’re always just a message away and happy to bring over anything extra you might need during your stay. I’m glad you still enjoyed the place overall, and I appreciate your input to help us improve.
