Great place to stay
It was very clean, lots of room and new. The pool table and spa tub was a home run for us. It was nice and quiet too, very relaxing.

Entriken cabin
The house itself is very nice and accommodated the 7 of us very well. However, the house was not the cleanest with food on the kitchen counters. The stove and microwave needed cleaning. There is an electric can opener on the counter that had a rusty lid still attached. The water has a horrible egg smell and we ran out of warm water at shower time. One of the pillows in the basement bedroom has spots of blood on it, but didn't notice until taking the sheets off before our departure to wash. The bar in the basement also needed cleaning. There is a pot bellied type stove in the basement (not for use which is fine, but there was pool table chalk broken all over it. The scenery there is beautiful as we saw deer and owls. Many different small towns close by and we visited the wineries. Overall, it was avery nice trip and probably stay there again, just hope it's a little cleaner.

A majestic week!
This home is lovely and extremely peaceful. The added use of the docked houseboat was a true treat. It is very dog friendly and our nine-month old Golden had a blast! The kitchen is well appointed and the deck was our refuge for soaking up the sun and reading for hours. The owner is remarkably helpful and easy to reach for the many questions that might arise. A stunning woodland retreat. We will be sure to return next year!

Winter Getaway
We enjoyed a wonderful, family weekend! The cabin was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. We loved the cabin’s design and decor! The owners even added a special touch of Valentine’s Day decor. We would love to come back for the summer and fall. Thank you for an amazing weekend! *we brought our own sheets & towels - this eliminated the need to wash the owners’ before we left.

Beautiful Cabin!
Beautiful setting and nice place with plenty of amenities! Easy check in and out process.. The only complaints I have are most of the bed sheets had what looked like pet hair on them.. And also the heating system is very uneven. The living room and kitchen wer comfortable but the master bedroom was freezing

Nice home BUT...listing and cleanliness were lacking
The Good: The house is spacious and nicely laid out. We truly enjoyed the fireplace- the reason we chose this home. Deck space is very nice. I'm sure it is very beautiful in the summer time. The houseboat was N/A since we visited after Christmas. The BAD: The listing itself is misleading. It states a woodburning stove, also a reason we rented- does not work or is not in use. All the TV's but one require you to have subscriptions to watch anything besides very limited free subscription stations. NOT in the listing. Good thing we could access the playoff games using my subscription at least! The road to the house is NOT paved. It is a dirt/stone road. No problem in the summer however, we steered clear of homes like this in late December, luckily the weather held. As you may read, the management company DOES NOT refund any paid money. What you don't know until you receive your check in instructions- AFTER all your money is paid, is that you are required to wash and dry sheets and return them to the beds. This called for a 7:00am wake up to get out by 10:00. This also requires some trust on the part of the people who washed the sheets prior to you! Not real comforting. Cleanliness- The house overall was dirty. Upon arrival I had to vacuum a white grit off both the couch and loveseat. Upon removing the cushions the legs to both were still in plastic under the cushions. There were bars of soap left in the bathrooms that had been used and had hair on them. Upon opening the coffee maker there was moldy used coffee in the filter. The fridge behind the downstairs bar was unusable due to mold along with a moldy box of baking soda. Dust covered many surfaces. It was plainly obvious no professional housekeeper comes in. You are also expected to "tidy up" the home before leaving. Rather broad term to know what is expected. You are responsible for turning on the water to the home when you arrive and shut it off when you leave. Additionally, we need to unplug and move the dehumidifier and hose from the basement until we left. Overall- The area and the people around were friendly. I made contact to have wood delivered- fireplace and non-usable wood stove and the guy was great. I'm sure in the summer time with the boat and deck it might be worth the price. In the winter and with the cleanliness lacking I just can't recommend this property and we have stayed in many VRBO's and other rentals over the years. We had fun but the property was disappointing.
