We weren't given the correct address for the property while using the VRBO app. Asked the property owner twice for the address because we do not know the area and still wasn't given an address for the gps.We were given attitude from the property owner about checking in at 12:30 instead of 4pm. They asked us to leave for 1.5 hour and come back so they could clean. Even after telling them that it's clean and to not worry about they still sent someone over to ask us again. It's more of a tiny home than a cabin. They left long instructions just to control the air and heat. The lights flickered on occasion.

Beautiful property!

We loved this place! Very clean, cozy, and just as listed. I had the best morning sitting on the front porch with my coffee. It was also convenient to get to the most popular Shawnee National Forest hikes.
