It was a bit more rustic than I expected but Earl was a great host. We had some early issues that he took care of quickly. The main reason we booked this property was for the river view and fire pit and enjoyed it immensely.
Earl is an excellent host and kept us up-to-date on the weather issues and always responded quickly to any inquiries! The cabin was really cute, rustic and cozy. My friends and I had a really nice time. Too bad it rained one day.

Glad you enjoyed your stay on the river. Thank you for being a wonderful guest. Visit again sometime 🌿
Earl was a great host, he made sure to check in and see if we needed anything and made sure the air conditioning was on prior to us arriving. Great location, my kids loved playing in the river and running around outside. I definitely recommend staying at this cabin!

It’s not what I expected. I didn’t realize this was more for just guys to stay at. It wasn’t as peaceful as I hoped. There are neighbors next door mowing the grass. This was not for me.

Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay as much as my other guest do. It's listed as a cottage and all pictures are online. Not sure what the (a guys stay) is supposed to mean. I have had many women really enjoy their stay on the river.
Sitting outside by the river watching all the birds, ducks, geese, otters, deer etc. is very peaceful.
It was the perfect spot to stay while my son drove a car at the race track!

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
There were no instructions for anything. Namely, the air conditioner needed to be emptied at least once a day no instructions on how to do that. Carpet in the living room is a tripping hazard couches were very uncomfortable no end tables in the bedrooms or living room. The listing says air-conditioned when you really get into it. It’s not fully air-conditioned no air-conditioning upstairs. No instructions on how to use shower overall there should be instructions about how to do. Said there was firewood there to be purchased there was no firewood. Overall, the property needs a good cleaning and it needs to be upgraded. There was also no cleaning supplies for the kitchen no sponge no nothing. I cannot recommend staying at this property while the location was convenient. The overall experience was highly disappointing.

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay. Communication is key to any issues or questions. We strive to make our guest have a great experience. There are check-in instructions and property details that addresses most of your concerns. It is in the property details that there is air-conditioning downstairs only, shower instructions, etc. There is always dish soap on the sink and some cleaning supplies under the sink. If there wasn't a dish sponge my apologies that the cleaning company might have forgot to put a new one out.As for end tables the cottage is exactly as you see in the pictures on the listing. There is a night stand in the main bedroom and one of the upstairs bedrooms. As for the firewood it must have just recently ran out,if you would have messaged I would have told you that there is a place right up the road.
If you would have called or messaged me everything would have been taken care of for you. Without communication I can't do anything to help.
Nice and peaceful. Enjoyed the fireplace and the foosball table. Host was very accommodating when we asked to move our check in date one day ahead.
