The cabin was very well maintained and cute. I knew that the shower was outside but thought each cabin had its own outdoor shower. This should be pointed out better on the site. Otherwise great experience.

Everything was awful. We arrived at the oasis and the door was open , the room Dirty - like f at one one had used a he bed and not cleaned for days. The experience was less than appealing , the host would not answer my calls , texts , messages they VRBO. The other cabin was left open as well. Vrbo has yet to refund my money. At this time I will not recommend VRBO ever to anyone it has been over a week with no refund. There has been a case opened and no response or refund from VRBO or the host. It was in the night so we had to drive around to find a hotel after the 3rd hotel we found something at night. This was not a safe situation or a place that should anyone feel like the host will keep them out of harms way. Also for VRBO not toRespond with the email that they clearly stated they were sending to refund this. This should have never taken this long for a refund the host took hours to finally text me. They said it was an oversight on their part. But again I paid for a cabin for my anniversary that I did not stay at and yet VRBO has yet to refund my money. This is a negative-1 experience!!! The Vrbo rep assured me that I would be refunded.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy little oasis. My partner and I finally had a break from our busy schedules and were lucky to find availability for a romantic weekend. The host responded quickly when we asked about a midnight arrival, assuring us late check-in was no issue. When we arrived, we had a small hiccup with the access code, but the host replied within literally 2 minutes, and everything after that was seamless!We stayed in Cabin A, a thoughtfully designed space with matching décor and charming details, there was nothing kitschy about it at all. The property has three cabins, a gazebo with hammocks, and amazing outdoor showers (one with a soaking tub we hope to try next time). Water pressure and hot water were instant. The split bathrooms were nice, though the men’s side lacked ventilation, which made it stuffy.We loved relaxing in our private outdoor area with chairs, a picnic table, grill, and fire ring. Surprisingly, bugs weren’t much of an issue. While rain kept us from visiting the springs, we didn’t mind, we were enjoying our stay too much. Saturday night we ate at Watershed Restaurant in town and highly recommend it.Checkout was very easy and simple! To be honest, as we were heading home, we were already feeling a bit wistful. Because it also meant returning to our hectic schedules. One thing is certain: we’ll absolutely be back, and while we hesitate to give away the secret, Rum Island Oasis is a true hidden gem!

Was absolutely stunning, peaceful, and pleasantly clean! The only reason I am leaving 4 stars is because the listing is misleading; needs to specify that this is Glamping with SHARED bathroom facilities.

If you want to disconnect from the city this is the perfect place. You can appreciate and feel the nature around you. The hot tube and the shower are amazing. Only complain is for the bathrooms that don’t have A/C and during the day was very hot inside.

Garden of Eden bathroom

Very cute user friendly. Id call it the Garden of Eden in the outdoor tub shower and bath common area; unique and beautifully designed-made the place a whole experience. My dog enjoyed her ability to run free on the property. Was a little confused on address, I thought it was withheld until day of check in so perhaps I was looking for it in the wrong place. Didn’t get any response back from property manager and cell went straight to VM but found it eventually.Also thinking some drinking water in unit or a dispensary to get potable water for making coffee would be nice. As we didn’t bring enough water with us. It’s definitely remote enough that would be helpful.
Best tub experience at night. Beautifully lit and feels great to be outside the plants are inviting.

Amazing

We just loved it here. The cute little cabin Sheds were perfect size . Didn’t realize the bathroom was in another cabin shed but after the whoops of shock we loved it. The outdoor bathtub and shower is a a fantasy come to life. We enjoyed the spring down the road. Rum 183 although if you are chatty sit away from others , they take the entertainment serious. But overall exactly what we want a quiet piece of heaven for a quick weekend trip.
