The hot tub was set on sleep mode and was set to 65 degrees when we first arrived. We had to wait 24 hours for it to warm up and half the jets did not work. We asked for a one hour later check out and couldn’t get one. The only reason we asked for a slightly later check out was due to the weather that came in over night caused some delays. I understand the property is a rental and money gets made when house is rented but it’s not always about money, care about the people first. Other than those two issues the cabin was awesome and extremely convenient location. We will be coming back

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience with the hot tub upon your arrival. This has been corrected, and our team has reinforced checks to ensure it’s properly set and ready for future guests. We also understand your request for a later check-out and appreciate your flexibility with scheduling constraints. We look forward to welcoming you back for an even smoother stay.

Very nice has all the things

The place was very nice, had all the things. I liked that it was all one floor and no balconies to be worrying about with little ones. The kids loved the game room and the swing set. I would just advise anyone with a flighty toddler the yard is not fenced in, the door handles are the lever kind that are the easiest for kids to open and there is a busy road with semi trucks very close down the road. There is one house next to this cottage and then the road. I had to be on guard the whole time with my toddler who constantly wanted to take off and apparently try to walk home.
