Bright ‘Green Gables’ Cabin: Hike, Swim & BBQ

House was fine - owner is a mess

Be advised, if you stay here - the guest contact is a hot mess. When we arrived to the house we couldn’t get the door unlocked for several minutes. It seems to just be stuck and eventually worked, we just had to try over and over. We reached out to the contact and they gave essentially no help, just the same instructions we already had, so we just left the door to the home unlocked until we left (not super safe, obviously, but we were afraid to be locked out). The home has a good layout and met our needs. The pond is right outside - plan for mosquitoes. Which were also inside and smashed onto the ceiling in the loft bedroom, which was kind gross. Kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. However, the listing I booked stated toiletries were provided and that was not the case, so plan for that. Closest store is about 20 mins. Worst part of the vacation for me came after - 4 days after we left the host called and accused me of stealing 2 comforters and two shams. I assured her we did not and she was incredibly rude to me. She let me know that her staff sent her pictures of what was in the home and that they weren’t there. I asked her to check again and magically they found them, but no apology was made for her appalling behavior. 0/10 for me. I would never accuse someone who just paid me hundreds of dollars of stealing unless I was 1 million percent sure. If you have any other options, I’d take it. There wasn’t anything standout about this house that made that worth it.

Ideal Getaway

We had a little family get-together of 6 at the cabin in late March and it was perfect. It is well-stocked- kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms- had all we needed and very comfortable. And we couldn't get enough of the campfire right out front, with the perfect view overlooking the pond and the forest. And the surrounding land for hiking and exploring were ideal: we loved adventuring in the woods, enjoying the creek, and hiking out to the lake. We hope to be back, it's a great location to gather for our families that live in Indiana and Tennessee. Thank you for the opportunity to revel in your little piece of heaven!

Perfect getaway

Quiet, comfortable and relaxing, this rural getaway is secluded but close enough to good restaurants and fun locations/activities. Owners have made good choices to enhance experience in this beautiful natural setting. Well equipped cabin. Short walk through the woods to a beautiful watershed lake. Easily accessible on good roads from all directions. Perfect for long weekend getaway. Would definitely recommend and visit again!
