This was a perfect location to spend a weekend for an event at Fall Creek Falls. Subdivision was pretty much empty. At first wasn’t quite sure it was the right place . Wished that the neighborhood store was open. And we were too early in the season to go to the pool.We arrived early and Cliff was able to allow us to check in at noon. Cabin was very clean with the necessary amenities needed. We were hoping that the fire place was located at the deck area.

The building itself was wonderful. It was spacious and well designed with great places for the family to be together or to retreat to their own space, both indoor and outdoor. Mr. Davidson and the rest of the staff were very helpful and responded to all of our questions. The check in procedure was seemless. Our only minor quibbles were the long gravel road to get to the cottage and a lack of a guide to nearby activities. The lack of a guide is probably due to the cottage being remote, which was what they advertised. Our family loved our stay and would highly recommend this place for other families' getaways.

Autumn Fall Creek Falls family getaway

Beautiful property!! Very roomy and comfortable inside. Exterior could stand some attention and the Weber grill needs to be replaced...minor issues!

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Oct 2024
Thanks for your review and feedback Joseph. We discovered and replaced the grill right after your stay. Cleaners should have caught that. . Agreed. It’s time to stain the exterior and deck. This is scheduled for the off season. Glad you had a great stay. Come back often.

Wonderful home in a secluded community

This home is spacious and wonderful for a large group. We loved that there were not only beds for everyone, but tons of space in the living room and dining room. While in a community, homes were very spaced out and the lots are wooded, so you had privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

Nice house in the woods near fall creek falls

Spacious house in a country development, big lots, mostly wooded. Very quiet and dark at night, great star viewing. About 20 min drive to FCF visitor center. Host was very good at communicating. Expansive outdoor decks but in need of renovation.

PERFECT CABIN

This property had everything you would ever need!! Beds were comfortable, kitchen fully equipped, the built in speaker system was great for our family game night. The cabin is in walking distance of the pool which we took advantage of every afternoon after all day hikes. AMAZING VACATION

Nice home on the inside. Upstairs AC did not cool during entire stay. Made for an uncomfortable time getting ready for a wedding. Sorry, but probably would not rent again.

The rental was perfect for as a new landowner at LBL to check out the amenities and enjoy some time on the water fishing. The house rental was clean and very comfortable. Very quiet and great place to relax and slow your pace.

Family Lake getaway

Came for some family, fishing and fun. Great weekend trip and the house was perfect for our stay. The only negative I had is poor lighting in the drive. There are stairs leading to sidewalk to front porch and cannot be seen at night. We had to use our flashlights to make sure no one fell getting in the house.

Perfect Accommodations for Family - Great Location for Area Attractions

We had 5 adults and 3 very excited children for this 4 day getaway (3 generations). The joyous sounds of the children exploring and playing in this home were constant and priceless. The 5 y/o wished we would've rented it for 100 days. Visiting Fall Creek Falls and hiking trails every day was a fantastic experience for all. The fire pit was great on a very chilly night. If you're renting be sure to bring extra TP, paper towels, and Kleenex. Bring laundry soap if you think you'll need it. We would rent it again for sure. The General Store/Restaraunt had some great food and friendly service though they told us immediately we weren't allowed to use the amenities - I assured them we were. She thought we were condo renters and agreed we had access after discussion. We would all recommend this home.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we had a good time. The area seemed to be vacated overall...the general store was only open for a few hours a couple of days per week...the house had a bunch of mousetraps everywhere and lots of mouse droppings. The important things were cleaned (kitchen, bathrooms, linens) but the home still felt like nobody had been there for a while (dead bugs on the carpets, needed to be vacuumed). The confirmation paperwork had lots of contradicting information but I always got quick responses when I texted for clarification, which was nice. The lighting was horrible, the furniture was very worn. I probably wouldn’t rent again, but my family and I had a good time together.

Haley, Thank you for your feedback on our property. We certainly apologize for the cleanliness errors. After your departure we discovered that a new cleaning helper had been hired and she was not doing a good job! She is no longer with our cleaning provider and the house has been thoroughly cleaned and all lighting checked. I am glad that your family still had a great time together. Again, I apologize for the problems. We pride ourselves in cleanliness and usually get good reviews about it. I hope you will reconsider a return stay sometime and give us a second chance. Thanks!

The Preserve Review

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was more than helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is wonderful with wonderful surprises around every turn. They had even added another queen bed in the bonus room. We especially enjoyed the porch, the kitchen and all the space. We thought there was going to be a gas grill outside but instead found a charcoal one. They had no sponges to use wiping counters and washing dishes but this was a minor inconvenience. Our biggest disappointment was that the pool was closed- something we had not expected in June. A home owner told us that Long Branch Lakes property was in bankruptcy, so management didn't want to open pool until there were new owners. We were glad we got our supplies the first night because this property is quite a distance from any stores, restaurants, etc. We also got a bit lost because GPS on our phones would not get good reception. All in all, it was a wonderful weekend. Just wish we had known about the pool ahead of time.
