Squirrel’s Nest
Great location, easy access. Beautiful home. Very clean overall though some dishes/cookware needed washing before use. Would have liked more room for trash, 2 bags full for a full house isn’t quite enough. Enjoyed our stay. It would have been nice to have a checkout of 11:00 vs 10:00. We made it out but it was kind of hectic. For the price 11:00 doesn’t seem unreasonable.Thanks.

Squirrels Nest Review
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was very nice. It is advertised as sleeping 11, but that is a bit of a stretch. Fortunately only 7 of were able to come and it was perfect for 7. I am not sure but maybe one of the couches made out into a bed. The kitchen was modern and well equiped. It was nice to have so many bathrooms. Everything was clean except the sheets on one of the beds had not been washed and smelled of BO. But inspite of that I highly recommend it. It was very quiet and peaceful there. Very little traffic going by and it was a holiday week.

Great Getaway!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the perfect house/cabin for 3 couples; each of us had our own room and bathroom. The kitchen is big and very well equipped, and we enjoyed cooking in it. The living area is very open with a comfortable sectional and a nice conversation area with two comfy chairs in front of the cozy fireplace. There was a small visual safety issue on the stairs that could be fixed with simply placing a small area carpet on the area, 2 cleaning/maintenance issues, and only one outdated hairdryer, but after our trip, all were reported to the owners for future renters. These did NOT affect our enjoyment of this beautiful property!!! Wonderful location for walking in the neighborhood, too! We'll be back!
