The cabin was everything that we needed. We were in search of relaxation, peace, and calm from the storm(s) of life. This cabin gave us that and so much more. My sweetheart and I were able to reconnect and connect in new, unimaginable ways, paving the way for a fresher and stronger relationship. We have already made the determination that we will do business with Melissa in the near future. She was professional, kind, and hospitable.

Verified traveler

the cabin was as described, really quite and private property. we arrived and were thrilled. the host messaged me saying she was laid back and lived on the property but was working at the time so we were welcomed to check in at our convenience. everything was great until the host showed up unannounced and started mowing just as we were going to grill our lunch. she proceeded to argue with us about our additional guest claiming her “liability doesnt cover guest.” when we tried to offer solutions and explain we were having family time she was extremely rude and uninterested in finding solutions. we were extremely disappointed as everything about the location and cabin was perfect for a day get away but had to abruptly pack up and leave due to hostile host. there was nothing on the listing about maximum occupancy and claims events were allowed. if you want no privacy and a hostile host that will argue semantics, perfect place. otherwise, dont waste your money and peace!

10/10 Highly Recommend

If you’re looking for the perfect place to escape reality (and your laundry pile), the Little Sugar Shack is it. This cozy cabin was the couple’s getaway we didn’t know we desperately needed until we walked in and saw mushroom-print sheets that instantly cured my anxiety.Clean? Spotless. Cozy? Like being wrapped in a flannel hug. Romantic? Let’s just say the bed was so comfy we actually considered never leaving it.Everything about this place says, “relax, reconnect, and pretend you’re woodland creatures who pay no bills.” 10/10 recommend for anyone who needs a break from life, work, or just wants to live in a Pinterest board for a weekend.We’re already planning our next trip back. Might even buy matching mushroom pajamas to really commit.

This little cabin was just right for the two of us. We were traveling during the day and staying at the cabin at night. The sunsets were beautiful. The cabin was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was very quiet at night. The host was very accommodating and responsive to texts. We had a good experience at the Sugar Shack.

Frustrating!!

The yard and area were definitely not as plush and nice as pictured. It said small dogs welcome (which is why we chose it), but nowhere in the description or listing did it mention a pet fee. So when the owner emailed asking if we were bringing a dog, to let me know that there was a camp dog who was bigger but friendly. I replied “yes we are bringing our 4 month old small breed puppy. After that text exchange I got a Vrbo email telling me I owed a $30 pet fee. We were already an hour out so we had no choice but to pay it. There is very inadequate signage telling where to turn into to get to the cabin. The only check in info or instructions we got was that it was ready and the key was inside. When we finally got there we put our puppy down to pods and apparently other guests had dogs who proceeded to chase our puppy and scared her to death. Also, the listing said “adults only, no one under 21 allowed; but there were a couple of younger teenagers there hanging out. It was very disappointing after we got semi settled because we were hungry for dinner but there was no welcome note or book giving info on restaurants etc in the area or giving us the WiFi info to use, but the listing description said WiFi was available and the login would be provided beforehand, it was not, so it was difficult to get service to google for info. The listing also said Tv/satellite was available to the tv but it was only a RUKU box with the Ruku remote which HAD NO way to adjust the volume and there wa
