The location and access to the river is fantastic. Kitchen could have a few more items for full-meal cooking (we did Thanksgiving and brought our own roasting and casserole pans, which was needed), but it was otherwise delightful!
The listing is deceptive. Read the full description before booking - this is not a three bedroom house as it appears on Vrbo. The host also attempted to charge additional fees not disclosed in the listing. I did not receive check-in information before the check-in time, and had to contact the host to get it. The condition of the property was also poor. This is the host of multiple properties in the area, and I will be avoiding them in the future.
The cabin was adequate for a comfortable stay. We appreciated the faux fireplace for warming us up, the recently renovated bathroom, and the well stocked kitchen. Unfortunately, the wifi connection was very spotty for us and we did find a few mouse droppings inside a kitchen drawer. Other than that, the place was extremely clean and well equipped. The proximity to Belknap is awesome for an adventure and time in the hot spring pool. The setting is very magical near the river! We found the living room furniture arrangement to be a bit awkward for conversation or watching a movie, and the beds are very soft, for those who prefer former mattresses. When all is said and done, I think we would likely stay again in the future!
While the details of the property listing are accurate, itâs quite misleading if youâre looking for a property for 7 and donât look at the fine print to see that the three beds in the garage cost an extra 125/night! It was already pretty expensive and too late to cancel without losing all of our money, so all 7 of us crammed in the little cabin. Seems pretty greedy to charge that much extra for a room!
It was more rustic than I expected but very comfortable. The deck space was relaxing and nice. It's a great spot to enjoy the sounds of nature and we didn't see any neighbors while we were there. The kitchen was fairly well equipped but additional drinking glasses and some wine glasses would have been nice. There are restaurants and a store surprisingly close by and the Obsidian Grill even offers some gluten free and vegan options. Two very minor complaints about the house: 1. It has some funky smells - old home where someone used to smoke? and mildew/mold in bathroom. 2. There is no streaming service on the TV. I like to stream a movie or show in the evening after a day of hiking. The DVDs I was most interested in watching were empty cases. Overall though this was a great experience and the home is located right near lots of beautiful waterfalls and trails. I would recommend it!
It was a nice place but due to our family size(4 kids 2 adults) the host made us pay extra (375) for the space above the garage. Unfortunately there is no A/C above the garage so the kids had to sleep on the couch and floor in the main cabin. Location is beautiful. Would recommend for a family of 4 or less so they can all fit in the main cabin with A/C.
