"The property was clean and in a lovely area. It was close to local shops and places to eat perfect for a quiet getaway. It appeared that the property was still under construction a bit, and a few surfaces were unfinished and a few things didn’t work perfectly, but that did not disruptour stay. The property is beautiful as a and everything we needed was available to us. The most enjoyable part of the property was the large living room and open kitchen concept.

8/10 Good
"The property is beautiful and has a lot of amenities. The game room was perfect! My boys loved the table games. The cabin was adorable and had many cute touches. The spa was very relaxing but a little difficult to use the cover. It also didn’t have quite enough water so the jets were pretty loud. Communication was difficult. We left a message about having a late check out and it was never answered. Also there was a mandated power outage for several hours on Saturday, and the owner didn’t let us know until the power had almost been returned. It was slightly inconvenient because we wanted to relax at the cabin. Had we been well notified, we probably would have stayed out for most of the afternoon. Overall, it’s a very cute cabin and we had a great stay!"

New! Bearadise ~ Peaceful Pinegrove Chalet

8/10 Good
"Overall we really enjoyed the cabin. The deck and the yard are such a nice feature for summer renting! The beds were comfy and the bedrooms were spacious. The place feels very cozy and welcoming. The kitchen is huge but come use some more pots, pans, utensils, storage containers, etc.What I would suggest is to fix the stairs. I am a Realtor so I now what home inspectors look for and those stairs to the 2nd floor don't have a bullnose and the runners are loose and just placed on each step which is a major slip & fall hazard! We were very carful and found ourselves walking side ways down the steps to avoid a potential fall.I would have given it 5 stairs if it weren't for the stairs."

"Perfect location, close to everything. Shops, food spots, grocery store, and short little drive to the Lake. Locals are so friendly and the smell of the air is so amazing-trees and nature-clean air. The cabin is fabulous and cozy. We enjoyed cooking and listening to records just as much as we loved our dinners out. Beds are so comfortable and rain down shower head was divine. Cabin has everything you need for a lovely time. Very quiet at night. Neighborhood is safe and enjoyable to walk in. Lumberjack cafe right across the street has the most insane sourdough waffles-to die for. Host is friendly. House is well stocked. I highly recommend this property."
