Definitely disappointing
From the minute we spotted the property, we were disappointed. It was located right on the corner road side of the property, car noise. It looked dilapidated, out-buildings especially. It’s an old house, so we expected some issues. HOWEVER. I am short (5') and have bad knees. The steps onto the "breezeway" were so high I barely got up, even with a cane, walls to grab onto, and assistance from my family. It was even worse TRYING to get into the house itself. I simply couldn’t. Since the bathroom (very tiny) was in the house, I wouldn’t be able to use it. So I thought my husband & I could sleep in the "cabin". NO WAY!!! It was overwhelmingly musty, and having asthma, not possible for me. I’m not the only one that had access issues. My brother-in-law had a bad time getting up too. He has a bad hip, making the entry stairs painful for him. The rest of the property was okay, nice sitting area under the trees. But all in all, nothing like we expected from the description. We all felt it was misrepresented, or at least missing a few pertinent details (like the stairs). All in all, way too tiny for more than two people. It should listed "possible access issues". We never spent our allotted time there; we are in the process of trying to get at least 50% of our money back.

Beautiful Historic Cabin
This cabin was just perfect! It was beautifully decorated with both the old & modern look. The cabin included all the cooking essentials we needed for our stay. The host was quick to respond with any questions. The place was super clean! We brought our 2 Golden Retriever girls with us & the fenced in field was perfect for playing fetch! They absolutely loved it! I loved the slanted floors & the old farmhouse appearance! I highly recommend this cabin! ❤️🐾🥰 The grocery store & other stores were only about 10 minutes away which was also great! I wish our stay was longer! Definitely will be back again! 💗

Linda is a wonderful host! She anticipated my needs, and was incredibly responsivewhen I had a question. The log cabin is warm and inviting, and the property is a dog Mommy's dream! I have every intention of staying here each time I return home.

Gorgeous Property!
Linda has an amazing little spot in Carroll County. It's close enough to Westminster to hop down and grab some supplies, but far enough from civilization to enjoy the wilderness. The neighborhood is quiet, the cabin is a cute little joy, and the bumble bees are a treat.

Relaxing time
We enjoyed our long weekend at the cabin. The house was interesting and we got used to its quirks (low ceilings, slanted floors and steep staircase). The king sized bed was super comfortable. The refrigerator is small with other food in there but luckily they have a separate fridge in the cottage bedroom so we could fit our food. The immediate yard off the house is not fenced but is largely bordered by hedges. There is a separate fenced field that is secure. Our dog loved the yard and there was plenty of space for ball playing. The neighborhood was beautiful and the roads were quiet for walking. The first couple of days we used the electric fireplace for warmth in the living room, but at the end of our stay we took advantage of the outside furniture and the beautiful spring weather.
