This cabin met our expectations completely. It is somewhat off the beaten trail, which we wanted, and while there are other cabins in the general area, you feel very secluded. The coded gates help prevent unwanted visitors. Everything worked well and was well kept. The open living area had an elevated ceiling and there was a loft area with bedding suitable for older children. It was accessible by ladder only. I did not evaluate this area. The washer and dryer were like new and seemed higher end than most rentals. Both bedrooms have TVs as well as the main living area and there is a large selection of DVDs available, and players for all TVs. A wanded shower head was a nice little unexpected bonus. Both the full and half bath were clean and well stocked. The kitchen had both standard drip coffee maker as well as a Krieg and more than adequate kitchen utensils and dishes. It does not have electronic games, foosball, or a pool table; however, this was not a surprise and was not something we needed or wanted. We enjoyed the screened back porch, with the babbling creek down the hill and we used the double glider extensively. It has a very nice hot tube; however, we did not us it, we just didn't have time, or maybe I should say make time. The unquestionably best aspect was Robert's communication. He responded quickly, informatively, and accurately to even the smallest, maybe even the stupidest questions. Excellent owner and host. Highly recommend as 2BR get away.

So. it took until midnight for the hot tub to heat up. The TV would not come on, and the next property had big loose dogs. But, the owner came out the next day and fixed the TV. The cabin was perfect. The river outside was beautiful. A steep hike to get down there, but worth it. It was hard to walk my dog, due to the other loose dogs. I wish everyone would be respectful with their pets and use a leash. Because, his were out without supervision, and he knew that I had a dog.

What a lovely place to stay! My large family goes to Mentone every Thanksgiving but this year my husband and I wanted a private place to really get away from it all and this gorgeous location really hit the mark. It has all the amenities you could possibly need but if you are a streaming junkie like we are I’d bring your Roku stick. The beds are great, the couch is comfy, the kitchen is fully outfitted, the water pressure is just right and the jacuzzi was delightful! Nothing like cold weather all around you while you stay warm in the jacuzzi! We also saw so much wildlife while we were there and that truly just made it all perfect. We hope to rent again ASAP!
