Very secluded. Place was very clean. No foil, plastic wrap, spices etc. Hot tub is old and dated. Some jets didn't work. Overall a nice stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Sept 2026
This hot tub itself is older but has no blemishes. It has had a new computer system and jets replaced very recently. The jets need to be turned and pushed in to adjust them. I’m sorry you had an issue. As a matter of safety we do not leave spices in our cabins. We do not represent that we supply foil or plastic wrap for our guests. I am sorry that you had any issues at all during your stay.

There is only 1 shower for both bedrooms. I do not consider the bed on the enclosed porch a bedroom. Access to the bathroom is back through the living room or through the 2nd bedroom. The unfilled hot tub on the enclosed porch is hideous and serves no purpose. The bath off the 2nd bedroom has a giant jacuzzi tub but no shower.Not suitable for two couples.

This cabin has no enclosed porch. There are two bedrooms and an indoor hot tub. There are two bathrooms a garden tub in one bathroom and a shower tub combo in the other bathroom. The reference to enclosed porch is perplexing. The second bedroom has many windows In order to enjoy the privacy and the wooded surroundings. No enclosed porch exists at this cabin.
