Check In/Check Out: this process was contactless and streamlined. There were no hiccups that we experienced. We are used to checking in by 2 or 3pm and out by 11am, whereas this cabin has a designated check-in time of 4pm and check-out time of 10am. We didn’t like those times at first. You will receive a Welcome Letter from the owner 1-2 days before your check-in and then a check-out letter on the last day of your stay. Owner was available by VRBO app and also provided his cell phone number.
Location: We love having cabins in the country side. We love traveling back roads and feeling secluded. This cabin allowed us those things. This cabin is in a very rural area, but it was easy to find. The neighborhood was quiet and clean. The nearest Walmart/Ingles was about 40 minutes away. There are no real “attractions” in the area.
Cleanliness: I would give this cabin a 3 of 5 stars. While it was not ‘dirty’, this cabin would benefit from a deep cleaning. We usually re-wash the dishes before using them only as a precaution, but in this cabin doing so was required.
Bedrooms/Bathrooms: This cabin is listed as 5 bedrooms, however, it has 4 true bedrooms and then a sofa bed in a sitting area on the lower level. There are several beds in one of the rooms on the lower level - this would be perfect for a group with several kids staying. This probably won’t be a big deal to most, but there’s only one bedroom that has a TV - it is the master bedroom/king bed on the loft. Our family has a couple that only sleeps well with a TV playing during the night, so this changed up our sleeping arrangements just a bit. There are 3 total bathrooms. The bathroom on the main level has a walk-in shower, which was nice for my elderly grandparents. This would also be semi-handicap accessible. There is a seat in this shower as well. Hot water was not an issue for our family, though we did try to space out the showers each morning.
Kitchen: There are plenty of utensils to use. There is a dishwasher and a touch less faucet. There is ONLY a Keurig and no traditional coffee maker, so be prepared if your family loves coffee like mine!
There is at least 1 security camera in the home facing outward. This was disturbing to some of our group. Just a heads up!
This cabin had wonderful outdoor seating.
