Our fall vacation 10/27-11/1

We had a really relaxed enjoyable time in this cabin. We'll stocked, clean and the view was beautiful. Very clean hot tub and the firepit was awesome. Rap around porch, many board games and videos. Saw deer below us which was a treat. There were 2 skylight bulbs out over the living room and down stairs was was one but it didn't really effect us. The gas fire place was nice too! Thank you again!

Dear Ronald - We have never had any complaints about the driveway. Yes, it is paved and very accessible. We can not refund your money. We spoke with you multiple times about this issue. We let you park the bike at the owners personal home, which you were very happy with when you were in our office. There was one picture that said it was accessible, this was the last picture out of all of them. On the main page that talks about the internet and other amenities it says • No - Not Recommended for Motorcycle Access- Approximately 1 mile gravel with paved driveway. If you had any concerns due to the information you could have called or messaged us about it and we would have let you know that you should not bring your bike to the cabin. You could have also parked the bike at our office. The roads are easy access for everything but a motorcycle. We did give you a discount off 10% off the nightly rate that when you were in our office you and your wife were very happy with. We will not be able to refund you any more.
