Happy to find this option in Marion! This was an older but very charming cabin that was clean, very well stocked with supplies and anything we needed. It was like staying at Grandma’s cabin. We enjoyed it very much. Location was surprisingly remote feeling even though it was only a couple miles out of town.

We had an amazing time during our visit. The cabin was perfect for us. We left after a week completely relaxed. We fished, did some sightseeing, side by side (ATV) and horseback riding all within a short distance of the cabin. Deer pretty much every night outside the cabin. We loved it!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Lots of room, pretty woods in back

Positives: Lots of room, pretty lot on top of hill. Big kitchen. All bedrooms, kitchen and living room were large. Convenient to downtown restaurants and Theatre. Negatives: No dishwasher, toilets were dirty, have to drive thru a very poor unkempt neighborhood to get to property. Carpet seemed dirty. Very basic TV stations.

For a location with a cleaning fee, you would expect it to be clean upon arrival. It had clearly been “spot” cleaned, but we found stained, dirty sheets, dishes with food still on them and dirty bathrooms. There is an infestation of smallish black spiders in the master bedroom and bathroom. We had no communication from the owners, instead found notes left around the property with instructions. It was necessary for us to use air conditioning due to unseasonable warmness, but even with that the “cabin” was so overly warm we opted to sleep over with family two nights of our stay for comfort. Comforts are minimal, with the warm water barely lasting long enough for two short showers and the shower heads creating a lack of water pressure. The supplied “limited” paper products, soaps and shampoo are also very very limited, we found a half roll of paper towels, a partially used container of shampoo and a used toothbrush. Location is undesirable, do not be mislead with the title “close to Hungry Mother State Park” it is still a 15-20 minute drive. There is also a mention of the cabin being “river front” this is an absolute lie. The driveway is steep and rough, leading to a repair needed to our sons’ oil pan. Though we knew ahead of time, paying an additional $50 per person per night for more than two guests on a property designed to sleep 6 is outrageous. Overall I would not recommend anyone stay at this overpriced, outdated and uncomfortable “cabin” in a less desirable area.

Everything was perfect!

My husband and I purchased tickets to see Rhonda Vincent at the Lincoln Theater in Marion about a month ago. So we were on the hunt for a place to stay. We enjoy staying in houses/ cabins rather than hotels because we like to cook, sit by the fire and just enjoy ourselves. So when we found this place we thought it fit the bill. When we arrived Wednesday evening it really was perfect. Everything, bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms and living room, were spotless. The fire pit was exactly as described. We enjoyed cooking out meals over the fire pit, sitting by the fire and also the nightly visit from 2 beautiful deer. If we ever want to catch a show at the Lincoln Theater again, we will surely stay here. It was only 9 minutes from the Theater and 11 from the grocery stores. Very convenient. Overall a fabulous trip that I would recommend to anyone!

The property was good for my parents and I to stay at instead of a hotel. The rental had most normal things, but no iron. Unfortunately, the sheets were not changed prior to our arrival and were absolutely filthy with excessive amounts of hair. We were able to find additional clean sheets to replace them with. The master bath was also quite dirty. Communication with the owner prior to our arrival was great, but communication after letting the owner know of our findings was nonexistent. Overall, pretty disappointed in the fact that we paid a hefty cleaning fee for a property that was not clean.
