Sawmill stay
Beautiful position amongst the trees in Sawmill Settlement. The house is a really cool design and build and bathrooms are lovely. The kitchen is modern and very well stocked with utensils and kitchen equipment. I meant to leave a note for the owner that it appears queen bed in room without the ensuite may have broken slats on the bed as the couple in that bed said they kept falling into gap so might be worth checking. Would be lovely base for hiking too.

Stunning spot
We had a lovely stay with two families at Darren’s place and couldn’t fault it. Beautifully designed home and extremely well appointed. Location is fantastic in a quiet corner of Sawmill Settlement. Darren was very helpful with the booking and self check in was a breeze.

Great stay
We had 4 nights at Sawmill Settlement. The house is very well equipped, clean, warm and comfortable. It is a 20 minute drive to Mansfield so you need to be organised with food - the fridge and freezer are sizeable and there was a good selection of condiments and general items if you forget something. Overall a great stay and would recommend for a group of friends/family.

Dissatisfied with the facilities provided
It was a clean place However, we did expect milk/milk powder to be provided for morning tea and shower gel at least considering how far the place is from convenience/grocery store Also some of the items in the pantry were expired and outdated for example olive oil bottle was expired (photos can be shared ).

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Jun 2022
Sorry to hear this was an issue. As you can see from all other reviews this has not been an issue for anyone else. The olive oil is provided for in a refill porcelin container which is an environmentally freindly way of providing this product. The bottles were left by a previous guest and not removed by the cleaners. The house is located in a beautiful remote location and all pantry and fridge perishable items are to be supplied by the guests and taken with you for your stay. The is a geral store 10 mins away if required. Its a pity that there was no comment about actual house, and or the beautiful location amongst the Mountain Ash Forests.

Beautiful escape
The property was clean, warm, quiet and beautifully situated overlooking bushland. We had a wonderful stay. Darren was great to communicate with. We were however a little disappointed that supplies weren't provided or a description as to what we needed to bring was not provided given Mansfield was a distance to travel to (e.g. coffee pods for coffee machine, soap and shampoo). In our experience these items and more have been provided whenever we have rented previously. Otherwise we loved our stay at your beautiful home. Many thanks

Tranquillity at its finest
After the year 2020 has thrown at us it was just what we needed. Great location to just chill out and reflect on a year that has been.

Awesome place!
We had an amazing stay here. So close to Mount Buller. Was a great base to get to the mountain. House was very comfortable and big enough to fit two families easily. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful house
We were a large family with 6 adults and a toddler. We all had a wonderful time. Great cosy and comfortable house with good facilities, beautiful views and gorgeous wildlife. Darren was lovely and great to communicate with. No one wanted to leave at the end of the stay. Will definitely go back and recommend to friends!

Great property and location
The house is perfect for a little get away with all the comforts needed, place was tidy and warm. Only suggestion is to add a TV to the master bedroom. Thanks again Darren for a wonderful place to stay

Amazing house!
The house is amazing, really felt like a home away from home. Immaculated clean, warm and with everything we needed for a perfect weekend away! Darren is great, nice and easy to communicate with. We definitely will come back next year for another weekend away.

Big Beautiful property
We stayed at the cross river retreat in sawmill settlement. It's a large and beautiful property that suited our group well. We enjoyed our stay very much. Our suggestion for improvement would be to include instructions for the house including, Wifi passwords, local food options etc. (We eventually found the wifi password on the router)

The perfect escape
This place is an absolute treasure. I stayed here during a work stint in Mansfield and was fortunate to find this little slice of heaven. The house is beautiful and luxurious whilst being warm and comfortable. The house looks even better than in the photos. Clean and spacious with a fully-equiped kitchen that was perfect for cooking at home and dining amongst the gum trees on the balcony. Everything had been thought of. Perfect location to explore the river and nearby trails. Will happily return and highly recommend.
