Cute property and really loved the hot tub as well as fireplace. However I would recommend bringing an umbrella or shade as it was extremely hot and could not enjoy the large patio for the one main day I was there. It was dark inside the cabin so not great to spend time in there during the day when so pretty out (but hot). There’s also a lot of dogs in the neighborhood, one right next store that really liked to bark. There needs to be more privacy from neighbors.

Safe, clean, cozy place. Does not look like the pictures from the outside. Is small but cozy. Loved the fireplace and great kitchen. Would stay again. Didn’t like the late check in. 4pm.

Pictures are angled with lighting edits to appear more posh than the location really is. No working heat, aside from small electric heater in each bedroom. (house instructions require unplugging heaters when not present) no heater in kitchen or living room. indoor fireplace doesn't heat full house. multiple power outages. living room power was off the majority of the two day stay. Hot tub was at 20 degrees and takes 7 hours to heat up so we didn't use it. 497.00 to freeze for two days with broken amenities and no power is infuriating.
