Cabin was clean & had amenities, hot tub was clean & the balcony had privacy screens so neighbors wouldn’t see, much less that isn’t an issue because they’re fairly spaced apart from each other.

We loved it only a 4 star because it was much closer to others and the drive wasn't the best for parking and roadway wasn't the best either.

Great place, not great location

House was lovely, super nice inside and out. The location is not great, should warn people with big vehicles or nice vehicles the gravel will hit your car and the parking is very tight.

Super clean adorable cabin.

We enjoyed a short stay at Owl's Tale cabin and thoroughly appreciated the clean and quiet time away. Close enough to the beautiful parks that the area has to offer. Very clean and stocked with the necessities needed for basic cooking and cleaning. The cabins are very close to one another but they are set up so the back decks and hot tubs are fairly private.

Overall okay

I reached out the evening prior to our visit for check in information and never received a response. Upon arrival we were unable to open the doors and had to drive around to look for what may be an office . There was a note with 2 numbers to text, which we did. After calling and texting we did get a code . Apparently we weren't the only ones in this predicament the neighbors came over to ask us how to get a hold of the host as well. We had no internet or tv for the evening while it stormed . I reached out about this and was told they were surprised it wasnt fixed and would issue a partial refund. I have not received this yet. Someone did show up to fix the internet but were granted access to the cabin without our knowledge and while we were not there.

Cabin in the eoods

Cabin exactly as advertised. Cozy clean and quiet. Bring our own coffee and toiletries. Some delay in getting entry code. Requested early due to lack of phone service in area but did not receive code until 4:15pm. Would still return if in the area again!

Fourth visit

As a returning customer, very happy. I would like the door lock number communicated better, also I still would like a blind on the small kitchen window. The cabin next door can see straight into the bathroom, or at least feels that way. Will be back for stay #5…

Great but grill was broken

All in all, this property was great. It was my partner and I and our dog staying for the weekend. The lights outside didn’t work, and the charcoal grill was rusted and completely detached. We brought things to grill and was unable to. Other than that, we had a great time. The hot tub worked beautifully and the property wasn’t hard to get to in my suv.

Cozy and Peaceful

I planned to go with a friend but they canceled on me so I ended up going by myself. I still had a wonderful stay even though it wasn’t what I had planned. It was peaceful and cozy! I had issues with the WiFi when I first arrived but the host got back to me very quickly and it was fixed. The hot tub was nice and the lights outside worked! Side note to anyone looking to stay here: You need to drive down a very long gravel road to get to the cabin which my maps did not show. It’s so long that you might start to second guess if you took a wrong turn and want to turn around lol. Just keep driving and you’ll eventually see the sign to turn in to get to the little neighborhood of cabins! Overall my stay was wonderful and I would definitely book again!

Good place to stay but not so good communication

The place we stayed in was very nice, the only thing we had trouble with was contacting the property manager. I tried calling and texting but they didn’t respond either time, not even hours later. Other than having to find out how we got into the place on our own, it was a beautiful experience

Nice little getaway.

Overall, I enjoyed this stay. The cabin and its setup is really nice. It has modern amenities and is quiet. Beware - I messaged for an entire week trying to get check in instructions. The property owner never replied to my multiple messages over multiple days (including a number of messages the day before/day of check in!) I also called the host numerous times the day of check in, straight to voicemail. Multiple voicemails, still no reply! Still didn’t receive check in instructions until I called the host 7 consecutive times, after not receiving check in instructions after 4:00 PM. You are about 20 minutes from town. There is minimal to no cell service. And you drive on a gravel road seemingly to nowhere until you reach this place. Be prepared as you book your stay. Overall, a great place to stay accommodation wise. But don’t expect any luck communicating with anyone affiliated with the property management.

Was ok, nice backyard view of the woods

There was good and not so great things but that is expected no place is going to be perfect. Most if the things were easy fixes. We brought our own wood but it was nice there was some at the place. The fire place you could tell had not been cleaned out in at least a couple visits (have pictures) the white board was checked off but it says for a remote started one so I can see why it wasn’t done. Easy fix just cleaned it out but there wasn’t a can to put the ashes in. No curtain on the kitchen window and it points straight into the bathroom so careful or you might flash the neighbor. Wouldn’t have been a big deal if the door latched, doesn’t need a lock but at least latch. Shower door doesn’t close all the way so you get water everywhere, easy fix we just put more towels on the floor to insure it didn’t get soaked.shower door could use a really good cleaning. You can expect hard water to leave spots but this was more than that. The back patio, can’t use the fan because there is a really big birds nest on it. To be expected wildlife. Hot tub had noticeable dirt/rocks/kinda sand on the seats in the water, but it did smell like it was cleaned. The refrigerator had a puddle of water inside, figured someone just spilled water but it was actually leaking from somewhere inside. The frig was really hot to the touch on the outside so probably the back fan needs to be cleared off. The swing in the room, if you look at the ceiling you can see a crack coming from it so we did not use it.

cute cabin.

The cabin was cute and clean, a lot of the doors had problems latching. And had a problem with tv. Other than that it was great. I did notice some algae or mold on a spot around hot tub. It doesnt tell in description there’s other cabins around and close but there is, but it was pleasant other then that!
