Liked: Cleanliness
First and foremost, it was clean, comfy cabin. Not overly private or woodsy, however.Some basic essentials were missing. There were only 5 squares of toliet paper, remote needed new batteries, and the shampoo dispenser was bone dry.It just felt like you are getting a bare bones cabin in a run down town for the price of a good hotel.

Perfect Weekend Getaway Spot

My girlfriend and I loved how the cabins were set up! It's cozy and private with lots of comforts from the electric fireplace to the beautiful little waterfall nearby. The trails were also chocked full of cool attractions! Definitely worth the visit!

Jennifer M.

Communication was absolutely horrific. Got there and the place was not set up for 4 adult guests as was promised. Only 2 bath towels, no hand towels, no paper towels and only 2 sleeping pillows. AND, there was a concession trailer parked in the driveway with a generator that ran non-stop for the majority of our stay. We arrived on Friday evening and left Sunday morning. Even though we contacted our host within a hour of arrival we never heard back from her!

Worst Vacation Experience

We drove 2.5 hours (with our dog) and arrived at a LOCKED cabin on Valentine's Day. We and VRBO couldn't reach the host by phone or messages. I received check-in details 3 days before travel. I paid the final rental payment the day before the deadline/check-in and there was no communication from the host to indicate that the reservation would need cancelled. VRBO kept us on the phone for an hour while in the vicinity of the cabin. We didn't want to stay in the local dog-friendly hotel for our getaway, so we drove 2.5 hours home. There was no apology or explanation from the host. Book this cabin at your own risk.

Great home base for exploring Cook Forest

Initially I was feeling disappointed because this cabin backs up to the road and there is a big white house across the street so it didn't feel as woodsy as i hoped, but it was actually a very quiet road and we enjoyed having a camp fire in the yard. The cabin was not unlocked but Brittany came right over and let us in.over and let us in.
