It had been cleaned but it seemed like it was a while ago. There were dead bugs on the floor. There were also some live jumping spiders in the tub and sink. There was very little water pressure in either bathroom. The tile heaters didnât work.
The cabin was very remote and had great views. The patio was amazing. It was very quiet. Only thing you could hear was the brook way below the cabin. The email prior to arriving had great directions and made it easy to find. It was well stocked with everything we needed for our trip. The only thing I thought was missing that I could have used was a hair dryer. They also stated that if we wanted a later check out, it needed to be arranged prior. I reached out and they said it needed to be asked the day/night before. I reached out again and they never answered, so that was a little annoying, but we ended up not needed it luckily. The cabin itself was great and we would definitely want to return to this cabin as it was clean (there were a few bugs, but that is to be expected up in the mountains). I was also a little worried as there was a bathroom trash can that was filled with trash already and they are very strict about their two trash can limit, but that ended up not being a problem either as we only had one bag of trash by the end of our trip. The fireplace was great and they stocked us with plenty of firewood and kindling wood to get it started. They also had the fridge stocked with water which we also appreciated. We would recommend this cabin for a romantic getaway or even a group trip since there were three bedrooms. Just be aware that there are quite a few rules not mentioned before you book!
The house is really nice, and in a great location. It is way off the main road, and you might need 4wd to get there depending on the weather. My only issue I have with this listing is the rules. They supply a very limited quantity of things like toilet paper, paper towels, etc. If I am paying to use this location, I would expect all of that to be included. And the trash situation is unreasonable. If I am paying for the cleaning, the house should have onsite trash containers, and it shouldn't be my responsibility to take the trash with me to another location.
This is a nice cabin high up in the mountains. Itâs a beautiful area and the cabin was a great place to rest for the week. We were still able to go on adventures that were about an hour away from the cabin. I would highly recommend this if you enjoy a secluded area all to yourself.
Larryâs Mountain Cabin is the perfect getaway. The Cattail Community is about 20 minutes from the quaint (but growing) town of Burnsville at approximately 4200ft elevation. This cabin is beautifully renovated with a kitchen stocked with plenty of cookware, dishes and appliances- including a blender, toaster oven and hand held mixer (for the bakers in your group). We are coffee drinkers so the drip coffee pot was almost always going. The house is superbly clean with comfortable beds, soft sheets and towels.
Our family has rented VRBOâs all over the US. We only ever stay once at other places but we keep coming back to Larryâs Mountain Cabin.
If you are a hiker or just want to relax on the big porch while listening to the sounds of Cattail Creek this is the place for you!
Thank you Melissa and Helen for fantastic communication throughout our experience.
