Not a safe property

We did not stay at this property. We we’re late getting to the property and we did not have information on how to get into the place. When we arrived at 10:30 PM, we realize that it was not a cabin, it was a trailer. The property was very overgrown. The fence around the property was dilapidated and was very unsafe. We were coming with two very small children and that made us feel very uncomfortable because it was out in the middle of nowhere. We walked into the property and one of the windows was unlocked, there were no deadbolt on the doors. We felt very unsafe and we left. We reached out to the property owner letting them know that we were not comfortable staying there because of safety. They would not refund our money and after the initial contact, they will not respond to any of my messages. Very bad experience and I do not recommend this happening to anyone bc of safety. A trailer is not a cabin either so I feel this is false advertisement

Much better than I expected!

The pictures don't show how amazing is this listing. Very spacious, amazing outside area, very nice and caring hostess (they left a bottle of wine for us upon arrival). For sure, the unit needs an update, especially in the bathrooms, and to fix the sliding door. Perfect location! Definitely, I would come back.

Nightmare vacation

The property needs outside maintenance, check windows for safety and privacy for guests; and eliminate cockroaches and mouses in the kitchen. We stayed one night there, and it was enough. Sent email to the owner about this, no answer so far. I hoped we could get a refund for the unused time of the property

Springs adventure

We enjoyed our family trip to the springs very much mainly because of this place we stayed. It was conveniently near the major springs and it had everything we needed to be comfortable. Thank you to the Shermans
