I hadn't read the reviews until the day before we left for our trip and i was really worried, but i got there and was very pleasantly surprised. This place isn't THE most luxurious cabin but it's in a beautiful location and we had a great time! First off... PAY FOR THE WIFI! I know it's kind of expensive but it's worth it! the connection isn't the best but there is no cell reception at all in the area and a little is far better than none. If you don't pay for it when you book you won't get it. Also it has central air conditioning that worked fast and was wonderful in the humid/hot weather. Second... the place is very remote. It's about 20 minutes away from all the sights and the nearest store/gas station, but in my opinion that's part of the appeal! no traffic, no noise, and the stargazing is INCREDIBLE! not to mention the all the wildlife in your back yard! If you go in the summer you will hear bullfrogs all night, it's kind of a strange sound if you've never heard it. PRINT OUT DIRECTIONS BEFOREHAND!!! I printed out directions to the nearest gas station, and to Logan (which is where most of the sights and all the nearest stores are, plus you get cell reception there). Come prepared and know that the roads are a little scary down there so have someone to help you navigate if possible. My GPS worked all the way to the cabin because i had it pulled up on my phone before i lost service. There is kind of a weird smell, i give you that. I had to wash ALL of the clothes i brought with me because the smell definitely lingered on them. But again, you're in a cabin in the middle of the woods so I don't think it's too unreasonable. The hot tub was great! It was a little dirty (a few leaves and sticks floating on top, nothing too bad) but if you turn the jets on for a bit and let it filter out, it was fine. Again, you're in the middle of the woods, you can't expect nothing to blow in there. Keep the cover on at ALL times if you're not in it. ALSO DO NOT turn the temp up past 99 degrees! that is the set temp point and it will shut itself off until it cools back down to 99. Something that took me forever to figure out and we were really worried it was broken. BRING TOWELS, PILLOWS, AND BLANKETS! I admit the blankets and pillows provided in the cabin were not great. There were not nearly enough and the ones they had were smelly and had old stains on them. They were clean, but there were some old questionable stains. I was very glad i had brought my own blankets and pillows. The towels provided were fine but there weren't that many and you'll definitely need them if you want to use the hot tub. (remember, you're going to need to wash everything you bring because it will smell like the cabin) There are only 3 beds, two are upstairs in the loft bedroom and don't have much privacy. The staircase is also very narrow and it's a winding staircase, made me a little claustrophobic. There is a master bedroom downstairs that does have a door. BRING DRINKING WATER! The cabin came with a jug of filtered water with a dispenser, but we just brought and used our own instead. The cabin has well water, which if you've never experienced, has a weird smell and is kind of weird to drink. (It's actually way better for your skin and hair though). Showering is fine, make sure you check the shower for bugs, again you're in the wilderness. We didn't find any scary bugs inside though which was good. I would also recommend bringing extra toilet paper, there was only 2 rolls when we got there and they were really small so we had to go into town and get more, but it was no big deal because we needed charcoal anyway. We also brought clorox wipes to wipe down the counters when we got there just in case, but we really didn't need to use them. They do provide a small amount of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathroom but not all of them were refilled so i would recommend bringing your own. There was a little pile of firewood there under the porch but i don't think they usually keep it stocked. if you plan on using the firepit, there are some locals that sell firewood at their house and there are also bundles for sale at all the gas stations. (please just don't bring any from home moving firewood can be very dangerous to the surrounding ecosystem). And there are a ton of sticks and logs laying around the back yard you can use. Also make sure to bring charcoal if you want to use the grill! We used it every day and it was really nice. If you use it at night i would bring a lantern, the back yard gets pretty dark and it's kind of on a hill. There are pots, pans, and cooking utensils there and a full kitchen! so i would recommend making your own food. There are no spices or anything so i would recommend bringing small travel packs of whatever you need. The nearest restaurant is about 20 mins away and driving at night there can be scary. We are not fishers so i cannot say how stocked the pond was, but i am a biologist and i can assure you that the pond was full of life. There is a cute little rowboat (no life jackets though) that we used and it was super fun! there is also a larger lake across from the cabin that you can swim in! Having our own little pond out back was beautiful and falling asleep to the sounds of nature was so great. When you book they tell you you need to be out of the cabin by 11am the day you leave, which is fine, but we were still packing up the car at 1105 and the cleaning people were already there, i was a little surprised. Make sure you're ready to go by 11 or else they will stare at you while you pack up your car. The renting company is hard to get a hold of. i tried calling with some questions and left messages and never heard back. they send you all the details you need in your confirmation email, but i admit they are not very customer service oriented. I didn't try them via email though so that might be a better option. Overall, we had a WONDERFUL time! I was sooooo worried after reading all the reviews and was considering not even going but it was non refundable. I'm so glad I went and so glad I chose this place. It was a little old but it wasn't outdated and it was in a beautiful location. I would definitely rent here again!…
