10/10 Excellent

"This host communicated very well. For example, I called the number on my email which was recent and easily accessed, to ask for coffee filters. Pictures of the cabin showed a coffee pot, so we brought coffee with us, but there were no filters. I called them at 8:30 Saturday morning, and they were delivered to us by 9:00 am. I didn't realize that pillows would be provided--that was a nice bonus.We had a great time. Thanks so much.Terri Allen and Family"

Big Corner Hideaway—Bring 12 ppl | IC61

8/10 Good

"Location of house was perfect ! Communication with host was outstanding. Our only issues were the guest bathroom. Toilet def needs attention and lacking counter space for 3 bedrooms to share. Master bath needs some updating and def could use more outlets to plug electronics into. Otherwise for the amount of people this house worked for our large group. Nice and quiet corner of Island Club"
