Cabin itself was neat and clean, with good water pressure in the showers and really nice furniture. Hot tub was clean and worked great, they allowed us to trade in dirty towels for fresh, and the cabin we started in was close to tourist attractions and Grandma Faye's general store, which was a lifesaver.
The beds and couches were extremely comfortable and you could smell that the linens were fresh! Modern in all the right ways and yet rustic in all the right ways, with lovely quilts on the beds, nice big stone fireplace, porch swing and country decor, yet updated plumbing fixtures, and lots of lighting in the cabin, as well as natural lighting.
Three small issues: 1. The cabin was really close to the road so it didn't feel as much off the beaten path as others, but not much can be done about that. 2. The kitchen was not as well outfitted as it could have been - I feel like we didn't have enough dishes, mixing bowls, cooking utensils in good condition, pots and pans, potholders, etc. I know the cabin is only meant for four people, but the kitchen supplies were REALLY minimal, even for a cabin this size. 3. The stove was really wonky - some burners were dysfunctional, so cooking was uneven. The binder warned us of this, but the solutions suggested didn't work.
All in all, a nice relaxing stay that could have been made top-notch with a little more love and attention. Good value for the money, and true, personable professionals working the...
Read moreWe rented a sauna pod for an hour. We had such a good experience our first time there in sauna pod #3, and we rented the same one again. When we showed up to check in, they told us that pod #3 (which we had reserved online several hours ahead of time) was not available and they put us in pod #2. Pods #1 and #2 are much less private (because they sit in front of several cabins and have lots of traffic going back and forth). We also had someone walk into our pod during our hour reservation. The kicker was that the front desk person lied to us and pod #3 wasn't being used by someone else (you can see it from pod #2 and it sat vacant the whole time). I suspect they didn't want to heat it for us and just gave us #2 because it was already warmed up. This is just bad business practice. Why make specific pod reservations available if you aren't going...
Read moreMy boyfriend and I came here for our 3rd time, and it just keeps getting better and better. This time we were surprised by the new Sauna Pods they had there. They are definitely worth a try if you've never experience them before. You walk into a changing area with towels and water already there waiting for you and the wonderful smell of cedar wood everywhere! Once you sit in the sauna area itself, be prepared to do some serious detoxing!!! It was very rejuvenating! We were able to gaze out of a HUGE fish eye window and onto the beautiful woods. It really was truly relaxing and something I've never experienced before. It was a nice self care hour that we got to add to our trip!!! Thanks for always being AWESOME...
