The property was nice. Clean, comfortable. Even the sofa bed, which I normally hate, was fine.Don't slow down before you reach the top of Circle Rd. (private road). Especially if pulling a trailer and do not have 4WD. We made it up fine even when wet. But the first time, pulling a trailer, we slowed up just before reaching the top. And we got stuck. Had to unload the trailer. (Motorcycles).Speaking of which, I saw somewhere motorcycles may not be suitable. Our street bikes made it up just fine.

Cabin was close to the place we wanted to bike so was very convenient. Very few people around this time of the year which was very nice.

Great Place BUT...
Great place for 1 to 2 people. Super cute and comfy place and comfy bed. So many conveniences, blankets and supplies. Two issues... internet would never connect to any TV or device. Bigger issue was oven. Top burner doesnt work and of all three times we.tried to cook in it everything would burn the bottom and not cook top. Kinda major when you stay long term and hope to eat in.
Really enjoyed the place and check in was easy. We always appreciate pet friedly renters!

Simple and Sweet Vacation Rental
We really enjoyed our time at this vacation home. It had everything we needed, it was very quiet and not far from the places we wanted to explore. My only complaint was that the king mattress had a loose sheet and not a fitted sheet and we woke up on the actual mattress itself every morning, no matter how many times I attempted to tuck in the ends, it was just not long enough. I messaged a contact we were given for this property and was told the owner wants no fitted sheets on the mattress. Other than that, it was a beautiful place to land at the end of every day and we would recommend it!

Better than any hotel in the area
The loft was great. The only problem we had was no internet and, no one to fix it. We weren’t at the loft for very much of the weekend. Wasn’t a problem for us. But, if you had kids you were trying to entertain. It could have been.
