"The cabin overall is nice and does the job. However, the path to get to the cabin is very dangerous and I would not recommend this to anyone in the fall/winter months. The drive up can be very icy and the owner does not really care that my car (4wd) slipped down the hill and did not want to salt it when I asked. It was EXTREMELY dangerous. The cabin is very very far out from anyone or anything else, so it’s extremely inconvenient to get to and from. It was as photographed, though. Aside from a...

"This house had everything a large family could want. A secluded (but not isolated), beautiful large yard both front and back. A river, bamboo forest, old growth trees and large covered porch with ample seating and table. I wish we had longer to stay to enjoy a nice campfire in their rustic fire pit.

6/10 Okay

"The staff were very polite and helpful. The hotel seemed as if it was undergoing renovations. Some area’s were closed (pool, laundry room) and it was a little run down. Security was not great as the lock on the outside door was not working. Breakfast was there but was just basic. The online pictures were not really current."
