This is a lovely cabin surrounded by nature. It was spotlessly clean with a great bed and wonderful deck to relax and unwind. It was a great launch pad for exploring the surrounding area. Our host was fantastic and accommodated our last minute trip to Smithville. We will definitely visit again!

Perfect for a solo getaway, clean and peaceful.

My wife got this for me as a surprise 2 night alone time getaway. I live 2 hours away so the drive was a perfect distance away. If you live in a rural/farmland area, the neighborhood near the cabin is nothing unusual. I didn't see or hear other people during my stay. Great seclusion. The woods surrounding the cabin are not walkable but give a beautiful atmosphere. I am usually very worried about wasps near cabins. I never saw any at the cabin.The cabin was very clean and provided typical cooking utensils, pans, and pots. Coffee filters were also provided. The oven was very nice and easy to use. The TV and sound system are excellent. Temperature control was easy for such a small space. The bed is very comfortable.I might make this into a yearly event. And the owner, Devin, was a top shelf communicator. I could say more but I think you get the picture.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was beautiful but very dirty inside it looked as it wasn’t rented or cleaned in weeks. 2 year old expired olive oil and seasonings for the guests to use. The whole house was just very dirty, and there were cameras on the back porch which were not stated in the booking. I would have preferred for there to not be cameras at all where guests will be relaxing and enjoying there time.

I truly enjoyed your cabin 😊 I spent most of my time on the deck looking at the view. I wanted to stay another night just to sit on the deck and listen to the rain we are having tonight 😂 That will be my next stay! Thanks so much ✌️💖🙏🙌 J. Williams

Cozy secluded cabin

We enjoyed this stay. The neighborhood has some run down houses, but this one is further out and private. Everything is super updated and modern while still feeling like a retreat into the woods. We enjoyed Burgess Falls, Cummins Falls and several fun restaurants, coffee and ice cream shops. It was a great getaway!

Nicely done place in a poor neighborhood

Our best advice: Ignore the ran down houses between the highway and the property, it’s truly a cute & clean little place once you get there! Despite the neighborhood, it seemed secluded/safe enough and we had a pleasant stay. The deck was amazing - enjoyed our coffee each morning while the birds chirped. Kudos to the owners for a very well-done BnB.

Not for us

We were not aware of the numerous acorns falling off the trees onto the tin/metal roof. It was not relaxing to me at all. I need quiet when I sleep. Also, we killed two spiders bigger than half dollar size in the cabin and after that we had to leave. We could not even stay the first night in the cabin. I do not mind listening to rain falling on a tin/metal roof but the sound of acorns falling was very startling, I could not sleep. I know this is a cabin out in the woods but the spiders we saw do not belong in any house and I could not go to sleep not knowing if there would be another one crawling on the floor. The last one we killed was in the bathroom and that did it for us. We packed up and left that same night we checked in.

Neighborhood

The cabin and view was awesome and amazing. Very quiet!! Now upon arriving , the surrounding homes were questionable, as was the entrance to the cabin. While we understand you can't control others property appearance, it would have been comforting to have been made aware of the area before arriving.
