We were unhappy that we did not have Direct TV as advertised for our four-night stay. The Overseer knew there was no service a week before our arrival and did not let us know. He did not set up a repair appt during our stay. I am assuming the subsequent guest will experience the same. The password for the Wifi was not located as the directions stated on the frig. There was no "pass" as stated on frig for taking trash to a depot. Another renter had stated this in a previous review that I read while there. We ended up bringing our trash home (7 hrs). There had been (or currently) a roof leak in the roof above MBR bath. We did not have rain. It was evident there was leak damage based on ceiling. The house was "surface" clean but was in need of a deeper clean. The toaster was so dust-ridden we did not use. The rocker seat along rungs and wooden area had not been cleaned for a good while and the chair cushion also had debris. We did not use it. The headboards were dusty. The furniture was comfortable, and the house was fully appointed with all supplies needed. The layout of the house was nice. We did not find a vacuum to address some of the needs such as the rocking chair. The driveway and parking will not comfortably accommodate a 2nd car. It is a longer steep drive. We found we had to back down it or do a lot of three quarter turning to get one car out. It was tricky for a renter.

Great communication, check in process, location, amenities, kitchen utensils, cleanliness, space, grill, bathrooms, bedrooms, furniture, outside area, etc. Everything is 10/10 and this will be my first choice if I'm back in the area! Deer all over the property/area at different times of the day. Peaceful, cozy, safe, fun! Everything you could want from hiking, grocery, food, casino - is within or about 15 min away.

Beautiful mountain cabin!

My husband and I, along with our little Maltese Buddy thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay. The cabin is so beautiful and had every amenity we could imagine. The bed was so comfy and the fireplace so warm We enjoyed having coffee on the porch, watching the deer each morning and evening. The host was so nice to call and check in. Would definitely recommend!

It was the best rental we have ever stayed at! The location was great! The home was very comfortable! We slept so well! It was a clean & spacious cabin with beautiful landscaping and a gorgeous view! We loved the river and so did our dog! Judy was so sweet and was there for us if we had any questions for her. We loved the paved roads all the way to the door! It is not steep on the roads, you just have to drive slowly through the development. There were deer around every corner. We will stay there again!

Awesome wonderful cabin

We have been staying at VRBO's for over 10 years. This cabin and owner is by far the best location and owner we have ever had. Judy could not have been more helpful. She is outstanding! The cabin is fully furnished and is absolutely beautiful. My wife and I have already reserved time for next year. We were very blessed to be able to stay in Judy's cabin.

Cant Wait to Return

This was our NINTH stay in this neighborhood and first stay in this cabin and it was wonderful. We can't wait to book again. The cabin is roomy, clean and fully stocked. We loved being on a dead end with no neighbors on one side of us. The mountain view was AMAZING. My husband and I sat each evening on the porch watching the sun set and deer that visited the front yard. We actually tried to book for next year, same time and it's already booked but we'll definitely book again. 10 out of 10.
