Smell

The property was beautiful, but the smell in the cabin was terrible. It smelled like it hadn't been opened and aired out in years. They had left us with only 3/4 of a toilet paper roll, no shampoo, no conditioner, no dish soap and the powered coffee creamer was as hard as a brick. We were planning on staying for 3 days but left after one day because couldn't stand the smell. They also don't provide any kind on maid service during your stay, so had to buy toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner and coffee creamer.

Stayed in The Owl Cabin

Our stay was okay.. road was a little scary getting up to cabin.. the cabin was nice enough but needs way more lighting at and around the cabins and around the lake to view it while sitting on the deck after dark. Extremely remote and far from ANY civilization except for when our neighbors arrived in the cabin next to us. Was our first time here . Was nice enough , just needs updating and cleaning up around the grounds area.. decent weekend mountain getaway, just not sure will stay again here

Detail cleaning

Clean the porch so we could have spent time outside. Stain on sheet. Window in the kitchen does not lock at all. Dust on blinds and valance.We understand that it is a cabin but the porch should be cleaned after each rental .

Cozy Cabin

Extremely enjoyable location, small but cozy cabin in a beautiful area. Loved watching the ducks on the water, walking to the waterfall, enjoying the all the creeks nearby, sitting by the fire pit and sipping coffee on the porch sitting in the rocking chairs. My only suggestion would be to replace the couch. The springs on the back have no support and actually bounce back and are very uncomfortable. Other than that it was a wonderful weekend getaway!

Scenic and delightful but minimal

A beautiful place to get deliberately “snowed in”. Loved walking the property; don’t miss the waterfall! Power company was quick to get power back on; cabin stayed warm. I would have liked a mattress pad under the sheets, more cups, glasses, etc., in the kitchenette, a sofa that didn’t “spring” when you sit down, and cuter decor (lose the cactus), but those are just my personal preferences. Overall, it was a delightful, well-kept place!

Cabin

The view was beautiful. The cabin however had a musky odor, sofa is worn out and sheets on the bed were a little rough. With a few updates this cabin would be perfect!

Perfect place for us

The location is secluded , beautiful, well cared for and perfect for relaxing get away. But if you want to get out and do things thay are multiple places and things to do less than 20 minutes away. The cabin was clean and just the eight size for the two of us. Wifi was great . We love the Clayton area and have stayed in different places. But this is where we will be on the future visits.

Cozy cabin for two.

Really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We loved the front porch with the view overlooking the lake. It was very clean upon arrival. The bed was comfortable but a little squeaky. The sofa was okay but had a spring popping in the back rest. And it could use a little more silverware and dishes. The location is beautiful but you are a little closer to other cabins than it shows in the pictures. Overall a very nice place. Would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for the stay.
