Very quaint 1940s cabin, beautifully remodeled

Very relaxing cabin with all the comforts of home, cute touches for pet friends also Safe neighborhood for walking and easy access to walk to the lake. There was no plumbing smell so that was handled. Thanks again.

Great, except for the plumbing

Loved the place, but the smell from the plumbing was over the top. I’m sure you will be able to fix it. Thanks for everything!

Charming cabin with potential

A quiet property gives you a camping feel with the coziness of a cabin. PROS: - pretty interior design - dogs allowed - nice patio area - close access to neighborhood amenities (can order delivery from local places) CONS: - water smelled of eggs which made showers unpleasant and was not suitable for drinking - fire place does not work - not the cleanest upon arrival - outdoor lighting is very minimal, this made taking the dog out at night difficult - listing pictures a bit deceiving, price point is a bit high for what you get

Thanks for your thoughtful review. We try very hard to work with our guests to resolve any issues, and feel that we could have addressed some of the issues on your con list if they had been communicated to us during your stay. As we mention in the listing, the fireplace is decorative. The outdoor lighting is there to create an ambiance effect, and a porch light is available to turn on when necessary. And if the property wasn’t clean to your standard, we would have liked to know about this and received photos to share with our cleaning team. As for the listing pictures being deceiving, I can only say that they were taken with our cell phones, no professional wide angle lense here! We’re sorry your stay wasn’t exactly what you wanted, but we do hope you and the pup had a cozy experience away from home.
