The cabin was beautiful and exactly as described. The location is nice and most trails are just a short drive away. There are other cabins around but we still felt secluded. We really enjoyed the daily visits from deer and a relaxing break from our normal day to day routine. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to make a couple simple meals. This is a very kid friendly cabin and the extra amenities for kids was appreciated.
There was a power outage in the area when we first arrived and the owner was very quick to respond and kept me updated on the status. Lucky for us, it was resolved within a few hours. Prior to our stay, the owner answered all of my questions and was very helpful in our planning.
My overall rating was 4 stars, there were just a few minor things that would have put this over the top and made it a 5 star cabin in my opinion. First, having board games and some toys available for kids is a nice touch BUT when we went check out what games were there so we could play one, the pieces to all games, cards, everything was just thrown into the drawer and no longer in the correct box. While I feel this is a result of inconsiderate previous renters, it should be checked and re-organized. I'm not spending my vacation sorting all that out so I just shut that drawer and we watched a movie instead. Second - while this is fully communicated, I think a one towel allowance per guest is a little stingy...especially when there is a hot tub. There are many other cabins that have a basket of towels by the hot tub. Little things like this always factor into my decision of whether or not I'll come back to the same cabin. Extra towels are a nice touch. Finally, and this shouldn't be an issue for anyone else, but the owners were in the process of replacing the chandelier in the main room and it couldn't get installed before our stay. Even with the couple lamps, it was kind of dark in that room (our not so great weather didn't help with natural light). We were notified of this issue prior to our stay and I understand the issues with subcontractor availability but the lack of light was noticeable during our stay.
Overall it was very nice and we enjoyed our time here.
