We arrived and didnât want to leave. The place is cozy and we all had a great time. We had a party of 8 and everyone had a place to sleep. The river was so nice and the weather this weekend was so good. Itâs really close to a lot, a few minutes from a cute downtown and a few minutes from a ton of hiking trails. Paul was super helpful and gave great recs. We will definitely be going back!
This is the first bad review I've ever written and this stay earned it. I would not recommend this property. From check in to check out, our group continuously found unsanitary conditions throughout the house. The upstairs toilet had stains, the couch had stains, the corner of the kitchen bar counter had mice droppings, the downstairs bed had no sheets, one of the upstairs beds had slightly damp bedsheets, the other upstairs bed had sheets with small red stains, the dining table chairs had rips in the fabric, there was a dirty dish left in the sink, and the dishwasher was overflowing with dishes. Thankfully our stay was only 1 night, or else we would have left early.
The location is simply magical. Simple rustic house covered our basic needs. We brought our own drinking water, based on previous reviews. Thanks to Hurricane Debby we lost power for awhile which added to the adventure! Paul was easy to get in touch with when needed.
Paul contacted us to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed once we got there! House well maintained and ready to go for all our needs as well as touching base just before leaving!!
Good not ask for a better secluded spot for a peaceful rest and great restaurant down the road about four miles for a great night out.
Thank you Paul for everything and all the best going forward.

Property is very close to town and Hunter Mt. Ski Center. The communication with the property owner was amazing. We had a little difficulty booking but the owner resolved this quickly and was very helpful. Highly recommend booking with him.
We booked the house for the MLK weekend, a family with two kids plus two sets of grandparents. This house was perfect for us. Great location for skiing but also for hiking and walking. The house is charming, cozy and well appointed. We loved the high ceiling and large windows in the living room opening to the pretty view of the creek below. The place was immaculately clean. Very comfortable bedding.
The access to the main house area is convenient for elderly, very young or people with limited mobility as you get to the house without any steps. We personally liked that one of the bedrooms and the adjacent room with the pool table were separate from the main house and had to be accessed by the steps outside- it provided some privacy but that might not be great for everyone.
The host, Paul, was very responsive and accommodating. We hope to come back again.
Beautiful wooded remote location but close to town. Great views of the river behind house. Cozy wood burning stove. There were a few issues at the house but owner immediately responded and helped to resolve them quickly.
Unfortunately the owner has immensely misrepresented the house. You have a the exit the main part of the house and walk down a flight of unsteady blue stone steps to access the third bedroom/âgame roomâ. If you are traveling here with small children you should know that the steps are dangerous and itâs completely dark at night. My 4 year old came home with a gash on his knee from walking up the steps. The next and arguable worse downfall of this house is that itâs filthy and has roaches. The ceiling fan in the upstairs living area had about an inch of black dirt/dust and the kitchen cupboards have roach bait traps that apparently are not working since we saw a live one on the kitchen counter. The couches are dirty and have stains.
Other issues...the bed in the downstairs area is lop sided and extremely uncomfortable. The water smells like rotten eggs. Paint is leaking from the walls in several locations. There was no fire wood available for the fire pit outside or fire place inside. No toilet paper. The pool table in the game are is broken, so you can not flip over to play air hockey. The TV in the game area is dated so you can not hook up a game system with a USB.
Overall huge disappointment. We booked this house for 3 nights and left upon waking up the next morning!
Paul was a wonderful host and this house was beautiful! My friends and were looking for a secluded, cozy little cabin to stay at for our birthday weekend. This property was the perfect spot! The house was well stocked and Paul was quick to respond with anything we needed. The property is amazing and is nestled in the trees and on the edge of a little river. It is accompanied by a beautiful outdoor patio area to overlook over all of this natural beauty. Definitely would recommend this home for a cozy getaway!
Very nice lot and location on creek. Nice firepit and outside area. Nice countertops and cabinets.
Issues: Not clear in description that that lower level bedroom was accessed from outside through a sliding glass door with no functioning lock. Very inconvenient in bad weather.
Tap water very sulfurous smelling and not drinkable. Bottled water for everything is a must.
A large frying pan with lid would have been helpful.
Only 5 dinner plates.
Cobwebs above on fan and dustbunnies under the bed.
Deadbolt nonfunctional. Condensation in between the window glass renders the large windown totally opaque.
Secluded, beautiful home near creek. Had a really nice, quiet, peaceful time. Loved the fire pit. Visited parks, lakes, farms and antique stores in the area.
I felt like I was home the minute we arrived. The property was very well-maintained and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay and got around the area to explore the hiking trails and the communities in the area. The owner is an exceptional host and we didnât lack for anything. Highly recommend
Beautiful outdoor, secluded, creek front, property. My family had a wonderful time enjoying nature here. Paul is an exceptional host, quick to respond and went out of his way to be available.
