The home is filled with little love touches throughout. From the coffee bar to the twinkle lights on the porch. It was all fantastic. We had a fire in the back with hobo pies and hot dogs and smores lighted up by there lights surrounding us. We would stay here again in a minute.
This place is cute as a button and immaculately clean. The front porch is very charming with its own mini fire pit. I love that the backyard is fenced so my pup can run around. One warning: watch the stairs to the second floor. They are carpeted and very narrow, and three people in my family slipped/fell down them during our brief three-day stay!

Thank you for your detailed review. We appreciate your positive feedback about the charming front porch and fenced backyard. Your feedback is valuable, and we hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future.
Decorating nicely. The only issue was we visited in the summer so there was a lot of bugs that would come in from the window and I left early early morning so the driveway was a little dark. The lights were all labeled so that was really helpful.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you found the decor pleasing and the labeled lights helpful. We hope to welcome you back soon.
We loved our vacation at your beautiful cabin. We spent a lot of our time just relaxing within the cabin and letting our dogs enjoy the surprising fenced in yard. Our youngest dog had quite the "zoomies" throughout the yard LOL! We want to thank you so much for allowing us to bring all 3 of our dogs for which we are pretty sure this was our Bretta's last vacation due to her health which made this vacation together even more special! The cabin was very clean and well stocked. The yard lights made the night scene so beautiful too! We loved the porch time in the early morning hours. Although it rained it did not put a damper on our vacation, so thank you and we will be back!!! Donna Leonard

Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful review and for choosing our cabin for such a meaningful vacation with your dogs. It means a lot to know Bretta’s trip was special and that the fenced yard, porch time, and night lights added to your stay. We’re glad you found the cabin clean, comfortable, and well stocked, even with the rainy weather. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back.
Loved the interior of the property. Very clean and spacious. The outside could have used some trimming of the lawn and raking of leaves in the backyard. We selected this property because it had a fenced back yard but it was really basic wire fencing that was bent in many areas with a lot of leaves accumulated around the base. We were concerned our dogs could get out or be bitten by unseen snakes. Also, the roof needs to be repaired as birds had torn a hole and were making loud noises inside their nest.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the positive comments about the interior, cleanliness, and space. We are sorry for the concerns you had with the yard, fencing, and roof, especially regarding your dogs’ safety and the noise from birds. Your feedback is very helpful, and we will review the lawn care, fencing condition, and roof repair needs with our local team. Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable stay, and we will use your comments to make improvements.
