We would have given 3 1/2 stars if that was an option. Great place for a fall family getaway with lots of outdoor space with enough room to spread out indoors while still feeling cozy. The cabin was clean and well maintained and was a perfect jumping point for the national and state parks we wanted to visit. Shelly was also kind enough to give us a slightly later checkout time on our last day. Overall, our stay was pleasant, however, there were a few things that prevented it from being a five star experience.
Upon arrival, we were informed that the hot tub wouldn't be warm enough for use until the next day. We were only there for two nights and not having the hot tub for one of those nights was a big disappoint. The number of rules (and threats of fines if violated) made us feel less relaxed and little amenities (like soap and shampoo/conditioner for the shower, smart tv that is Netflix capable or additional cable channels, extra toilet paper and quality paper towels) would take this place to the next level. We also were given only one trash bag and had to haul the trash away ourselves. It was a great location and we enjoyed our time together but given the drawbacks, I'm not sure we would choose to rent there again.
