We had a great stay, the location was perfect for day trips all along the great river road. Casino, great parks with amazing views, and antiques. The deer and 10 points bucks were out right outside our window every day. The hot tub was a great place to watch from..

Real life is much different than the pics on the listing. The creek bed wasn't running. No central air (window ACs and they are filthy master bedroom doesn't have a window AC). Property inside NEEDS a good cleaning. Outside has weeds everywhere and the deck screws need attention. Don't rely on the kitchen pots/pans as they are trashed. Fridge snd freezer need lower temps (of course those settings were locked). We cleaned fans before we'd plug them in, cleaned the dishwasher filter since it stunk, and washed the bath mat. Bathroom hand soaps were watered down. My six yr old didn't mind all that and was so excited for the pond so we stayed and dealt with everything. For the money, it's a disappointment. I also messaged Cory shortly after we arrived with a simple question and never got a response. The pond was fun though and the potential is there but it needs work and some TLC. Invest in some black out curtains and take down the taped trash bags, please. Maybe an umbrella for the deck (especially since the photos show one). Also, fix or replace the loose exterior door handles. I so wanted to like this rental...the kid did though and we made some good memories.

Great cabin
The cabin and location are great. Everything was as described. I wasn’t impressed with the cleanliness. There were stains on the floor from spills and marks/crumbs on end tables from previous guests having drinks/food. It’s nice that pets are allowed but with that comes additional cleaning that was missed. Pet hair on furniture and a spot by one of the doors that appeared to be from a pet having an accident. Hopefully those can be areas of improvement. I’d overall recommend this place and I’d book again.

quiet getaway
The place was as listed and very nice. The hot tub was very nice to have, as it was crazy cold the night we stayed. Overall it was a great experience.
