The property needs to update their linens. Bed sheets were unacceptable and the towels were not any better. Hot water took at least 15 minutes to warm up for the shower. One bathroom had a shower curtain that fell down when trying to close it and the other was wide open and super cold. We arrived late at night the house was cold no heat on. Attempted to build a fire but no dry wood, kindling or paper to get it started
We booked Seth’s place on a whim and couldn’t be more pleased with how it paid off. The house was lovely, calm, comfy, and well appointed. Seth provided super detailed instructions that made it easy to navigate the check in, check out and operations within the space. He was also super helpful when assisting me with my booking snafu and subsequent challenges after our stay ended. I would not only recommend this space, but would be happy to stay there again myself.
I want to start my saying Seth is. Very kind and attentive host. His communication is fantastic, the best I’ve experienced with and VRBO host. The deer and birds we saw were also awesome.
That being said, this listing is very inaccurate and the whole stay was a bit odd. Seth texted the day of our arrival to ask when we would be there and I let him know we would be there at the check in time of 1pm. When we arrived at 1:03, we attempted to enter the property but it wouldn’t work, service there isn’t great so it took a few tries to reach Seth, he eventually opened the door to the VRBO, and explained that the property wasn’t ready yet, even though it was check in time. He also stayed on property/in the attached garage for a large part of our stay. While he explained it was to make sure we had everything we needed, I will admit it was off putting. My partner and felt we couldn’t really relax or settle in because he was frequently walking around in the yard. We ended up not even feeling comfortable using the hot tub.
The home also doesn’t have central heat and the provided heaters were not sufficient to keep the home heated. It also has heated floors but we ouldnt figure out how to operate them and they kept turning on on the middle of the night and were insanely loud. There was also no hot water except for 1 day of our trip. The whole vibe of the property was very off putting. While Seth was nice, I personally wouldn’t bring my family back.
Seth was a great host and the home and grounds were lovely and very relaxing. We would definitely stay here again.

Way OFF Woods Retreat
Advertised hot tub, which was not at all. You can set it up & not have to heat it much in these hotter temps. We had anticipated the water fun the most. Place has mold, termite, & damages to the interior. Needs some major Love. Painting & work in the bathrooms, to upgrade to a better rating. Very hot in bedrooms, offers a window air unit downstairs only, small fans up stair well & even fans in rooms, were not enough. it was 105 degrees w/e. Very hard to sleep. Dead bolts on windows & main kitchen doorway so no access to escape in case of a fire. Bathroom rugs & Refrigerator, even outside furniture was dirty. Expired food in shared refrigerator & cupboards. Nice idea to share between guests, however, you should clean it in between? Also sponge in Kitchen sink, should be used & replaced for each group of guests, even bars of soap need replacing per group of guests. Notes on displayed items were comfusing & offensive about ((not using)) & making our own walking sticks. B
Our stay was great, our host went above and beyond making sure we were happy and comfortable during our stay and also accommodated us for my birthday, even went above and beyond helping us out while we were leaving (clearing the snow covered road for us) :) I would recommend this place, we will definitely be back to this cozy cabin nestled in the woods! Thank you Seth!
Very mixed review for this property....
The location is amazing. The house is very clean and has great supplies for cooking, lounging, etc. Very large TV and excellent WIFI. The radiant heating floors are luxurious and the wood burning fire place keeps the place HOT! The rooms are good sized which is nice.
One of the bedrooms has a REALLY squeaky bed. Luckily we only had our 3 year old w/us and there was a futon couch in the same room, so we had him sleep on that instead.
We specifically selected a property with a hot tub but given that it was late December and cold, it was having a hard time getting to temperature and wasn't ready our first night. Seth did however put some bucket heating elements into it and we were able to use it our second and third/last nights there comfortably.
Our big concerns and warning to others is the lack of privacy. I had read another review that said people were living in the attached garage. I asked Seth about this before booking and he said the entire Cabin House was private, but that other people including himself lived on the 2.5 acre property. We were fine with this. However, our second night at 8:45pm we heard someone drive into the driveway and then heard a lot of banging and voices coming from the attached garage (which had the door into the kitchen but had been blocked by a room divider so we hadn't tried to open it and assumed it wasn't for guests). My husband grabbed a knife and we thought someone might be breaking in. Luckily we called Seth before 911. We woke him up and he said he has an art studio and they were doing a supply run. He then texted me a screen shot of the instructions he had sent me the day before our arrival date that noted that he would be on the property doing "routine maintenance" and sometimes was in the "downstairs studio". This conflicts with what he originally told us. And also not what I would expect to be doing "routine maintenance" at night. It also would have been nice if he had called and given us a heads up that people were going to be in the house/garage. There would be 2-4 bangs every 10-15 minutes like they were building something. I went to bed at 10:30pm and could still hear it. I woke up at 2:04am thinking someone was knocking on the door but it was just the people in the garage. They left the following evening around dinner time and it was quiet. This was very off-putting. Also the curtains in the downstairs are sheer though upstairs are solid and private.
Great cabin in great location, away from all the hustle and bustle, but not far enough if you crave the hustle and bustle. We wanted to spend some time in the snow and Seth recommend we drive up about 20 miles from where we stayed, and there was plenty of it. A lot of great local establishments just a short drive. A big bonus was the commodity that we all can’t seem to leave without this days, GREAT WiFi, that makes posible all the streaming services in the middle of the woods while the fire place is going. The cabin had everything you need, toiletries, silverware, towels, pots and pans, TVs, and plenty of board games. All in all we had a very nice time and looking forward to come back. Thanks for the hospitality Seth!
Impressed by the pictures..sadly not what the property looks like.
In addition, the master toilet leaking sound, the noisy master bedroom fan and the very slick staircase.
The pictures show a vast deck...the deck was full of parked cars.
Many other inaccuracies.😒
Seth did give us a later check out time..this was due to the check in process problem
We needed a break from work and school, and had a relaxing and fun short stay. The best part was hot tubbing under the stars. It's a good sized hot tub, which was ready for us upon arrival along with a fire warming the house. The owner was very responsive to our questions throughout and we could see ourselves returning in spring!
For those looking for a large, beautiful piece of property away from the hustle and bustle this is the perfect spot. Seth is an excellent host and very easy to get in contact with for questions, which is much appreciated.
The cabin is eclectic and fun, and a great spot to relax.
The cabin was clean and the owner was very easy to communicate with. We had clear instructions about the checkin and checkout process. Overall, enjoyed the stay.
Our group of 5 enjoyed our stay very much. The house is very clean and cozy and was a great home base for exploring the area. We especially loved the outdoor patio area, grill, large hot tub and selection of games. My only note for future guests is that the futon listed as a 3rd bed was not large enough for an adult. I would say this house sleeps 4 adults comfortably, with a 5th either on the couch or cot downstairs. All in all it was a great stay. Thanks, Seth!
This cabin was amazing! It was quiet, serene and we felt right at home
Seth was an awesome host!! The cabin was cleaned and fully stocked with all the essentials. He made sure we had everything we needed! We will definitely be coming back!
Great and relaxing spot off from the street and among the trees. The flow of the house and property were great, plenty of room for the kids to run around. The house was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with all the tools needed to cook a good meal and the hot tub was perfect. Enjoy it!
