Trophy Room Retreat - Large Lodge with Hot Tub & Sauna

We had a wonderful stay and made truly unforgettable memories! The house was very cozy, beautiful, and, most importantly, exceptionally clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our favorite features were definitely the hot tub and sauna — we absolutely love both, so having them was very important to us. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable time and would happily stay here again. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

There was an immediate bad smell on entering the cabin. The smell in the basement was overwhelming. I called for help and was told that a maintenance man would come over or contact me shortly. He arrived the next day saying that the smell was most likely the septic system not functioning because of the heavy rains. We had opened every window and door to air it out. That helped a lot. Two toilets were out of order as their flushing chains were disconnected. Our bathroom door locks were broken so lack of privacy. The kitchen sink faucet handle fell off and the maintenance man didn’t bring his tools. I found a tool set in my truck and repaired the faucet handle. The kitchen countertop wasn’t clean enough and had grease around the stove and wall edge. The air conditioning didn’t work the whole stay and the second evening was too warm. Other than all that it was a beautiful cabin with incredible trophies everywhere you looked. Despite the setbacks it was a memorable location and cabin.

Overall, we had a good stay. The home was clean, spacious, and the hosts were very responsive. The biggest issue was that the hot water never worked in the kitchen or one of the primary bedrooms. The hosts were quick to respond and had maintenance come out twice, but unfortunately the issue wasn’t resolved during our stay. The kitchen was also under-equipped for a home that sleeps 15, with no large pot, only plastic spatulas, and no working ice maker or ice cube trays. The hosts offered to reimburse us for purchasing trays, but it would have required about a 1.5-hour round-trip drive. We also found that the lights in one of the primary bedrooms didn’t work. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the hosts’ responsiveness. With a few maintenance repairs and better kitchen supplies, this Airbnb would be perfect.
