Very good

Ive stayed at the cabin twice and decided to go bigger since my grandsons couldnt play outside. They had so much fun with the jenga and other games. We had a great time!
It's the perfect place for me and my family to get together. I live 6 hours away and my daughter is 15 min. away. I got to spend a weekend with my daughter cooking for me and I got to play board and card games with 5 of my grandsons. The boys love to stay overnight and have a little vacation. The kitchen is nicely equipped and there are many games available to play with. There is a large yard for activities. I brought badminton for the kids to play with (and a birdie ended up on the roof). My 14 yr old grandson thought the bathrooms were awesome! This is my 4th stay and the owners are very attentive if there are any concerns. Grocery stores are less than 30 min away.

Not like the pictures
It was not really clean, lots of dust on the ceiling fans, dirty comforter. The sunroom/porch needs to be cleaned and dusted out. There is a really nice barn but this really needs a cleaning as well.

Hi Linda, we want our guests to arrive at a vacation home that is 100% ready for their stay, so we take the cleanliness of our properties seriously! We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:- The cleaning team will be contacted immediately to ensure that the ceiling fans, comforters, and sunroom/porch are thoroughly cleaned and dusted for future guests- The barn is a shared space, and while we strive to keep it clean, we are reconsidering its use to ensure it remains in top condition for everyoneThank you for your insight, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!
