So, I’m having mixed feelings with this review. My fiancé and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. We had originally not planned to go anywhere and that Friday decided why not go out for the weekend. So, we called around to a few places, Annie the owner was who we spoke with (other places didn’t even answer the phones). We had a little hesitation about staying here due to the other not so great reviews but decided to give it a go anyways and see if we could make the best of it! Annie was more then nice on the phone. Very sweet. She talked to us originally about one named Pickerill , the website was half working so we couldn’t see photos. She spoke about it being more of a private location which sounded perfect to us. Just two adults wanting some peace and quite for the weekend! She then after pausing mentioned that for about 20$ more a night she could offer us the Salomon ll and that it was on the river front and very private as well. We thought why not! Score!! Being able to have river front private access for only a little more each night, done deal! Anyways, so we pay over the phone and head up. Getting all excited about the great weekend we thought we where in for. We get there and call because we couldn’t find the office, they don’t have one, ok that’s fine ya know a little smaller place, still all good. Her husband Mike meets us at the cabin and we had to wait around for a bit for Annie to get there, still no problem. Only concern we notice was that the cabin she booked us for was actually a duplex with a shared porch. No one was in it that night and we just crossed our fingers that no one would be the rest our time. None the less definitely an award situation, had she let us know it had a shared porch and almost right on top one another we would have decided otherwise. Move forward, we had everything unpacked and started “trying” to relax on the river at around 230. Mike her husband was still there and decided it was the perfect time on a Friday holiday weekend to be leaf blowing about 75 or so feet behind us and using all sorts of loud tools. This went on till about 430. Not the best start to peace and quite. Moving forward they also failed to mention that the cabin we are in and paying more then any other cabin there for was also there private office area and the community laundry building. So while where trying to prepare dinner and all mike is walking around and talking on blue tooth loudly and where able to hear his whole conversation is what Annie explained was a private peaceful area! He finally leaves and we have a good rest the night. The next morning we wake up go out and start trying to do breakfast, then people from another cabin come barging on over like a bunch of wild party kids.... great... anyways we try to talk to them and see how we could assist them, a little taken back by them trying to frolic around our fresh build fire and running along the river bank being wild. Anyways, they respond that it’s a public area and mike told them they can use the area and it’s everyone’s. We explain to them that it’s our fire we are making breakfast and tell them to take there wildness elsewhere letting them know of two other river locations we spotted on the property. After some back and fourth they finally decided the adults where right... fast forward I received a call from Annie and she wanted to know what happened as well as she explained that the river front and tables there where public for all the cabins. So this was very different then the original very private and peaceful setting she painted over the phone. Whatever we thought. Only one more night and then we go home... try to just stay positive as possible. No more occurrences happened with the wild children while we finished our stay thankfully. Going further, the beds where rough as could be. This could be a great area if Annie and Mike invested more into it and made truly private river areas. They have the...
Read moreMy husband and I just returned from our stay at the Okie Dokie cabins, we booked for 5nts July 17-22.||Too many rules that you aren't told verbally, but have to read in different places about the cabin. We missed one,||We stayed at the Trout Cabin, which was low end. ||The bunk bed mattresses are horrible!!! We did not get one good nights sleep on them. They are like the high school 4" wrestling mat. Okay, the sign that we missed was the one about the AC. I was quoted over the phone by the owner, Annie, that the AC was $10.00 a day. She denies it. What we didn't know that once it was connected that we would be charged for the 5 days that we stayed, actually, we left Thurs. night because we just couldn't sleep one more night on the mattresses. We only used the AC for the first night and thought that the owners had a way of telling when the AC was being used in the cabin, Anyway, they made away with $65.00 of ours because the charge was $15.00 a day. We had to brush our teeth and wash up in the sink because there isn't one in the bathroom. Also, way up at the ceiling on a ledge is a DVD player and tiny TV screen. We had to put our heads way back to see what we were watching. Come on! With the money they have there should be a flat screenTV on the wall. The furniture inside the cabin to sit one was so uncomfortable, like sitting on a park bench at the park. Don't drop the soap in the shower stall you need a handicap grabber to pick it up. We left a new roll of Toilet paper in the bathroom for the next person and man, I wish I...
Read moreI get two weeks off per year, and the owners of Okie Dokey Cabins ruined my “vacation” to New Hampshire. They then charged me $1,300. I paid for two weeks to stay at this place. I checked in at 6:00pm and within two hours I became nauseated because they use a compost toilet in the cabin which causes the cabin to stink like a heavily-use outhouse; the longer you are in it, the more the stench saturates your nostrils, bedding and clothes. As it was dark outside, and I had nowhere else to go, I attempted to get through the night. I was awake all night, and feeling a lot of stress. It was pitch black outside. The stench inside was overwhelming. Along with my nauseated stomach, I developed a throbbing headache. I paced the cabin, just waiting for daylight, so that I could evacuate. At 3:30am, my heart went into atrial fibrillation. I took extra doses of medication, and was forced to lay on the plastic mattress. The foul odor in the cabin was overwhelming. When the sky lightened, I managed to put my belongings into the trunk of my car, and left to go to a hospital. I called the owners that morning and told them what had happened; that I was unable to stay in the cabin another minute due to the horrible smell, and that I was suffering from a heart problem (likely triggered due to the stress of the night). They did not care. They refused any refund. They charged me for TWO weeks. I challenged the charge, but the owners provided a copy of my signature to my credit card company, and received my...
