Peaceful Thanksgiving

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was enough to entertain the kids while the adults were able to relax by the fire. We enjoyed walking our dog through the maze and on the road to the property...we even saw two wild grouse! Lots of deer as well. Two thumbs up from us!

Mountain View’s❤️

The property is absolutely beautiful. One of the most peaceful places we have ever been. The cleaning needs to step it up. The dishes were still in dish washer from last guests. Most the towels were still in the dryer also from the last guests. We found a can of opened moldy fruit in the pantry. Used razor in our master tub area. Even an old contact lense on one of the bedroom dressers. The pool table felt is quite worn out and the ping pong table could use some tlc. The hi chairs were filthy and so was the pack and play. We didn’t use any of it. The Hot tub lid was broke but owners are waiting on repairs. The hot tub worked perfectly for those star lit nights. The sauna worked and was also very enjoyable. We Couldn’t figure out how or if the Karaoke machine worked. Even with all the cleaning issues we all had a great time once we cleaned things up. The house is beautiful, the surroundings were simply amazing. The owners were very nice and helpful they answered immediately when we called. The grounds of the home were kept impeccably clean. The grass was cut and so was a path thru the golden rod so you could walk thru the maze. Even With all the negative cleaning issues. We would still definitely recommend this location. Thank you for having us.

Great for all the family, but...

Our group consisted of 11 people of various ages- baby to older adults. The property was conducive to interaction, yet there was enough space to be by oneself as well. Plenty of games were available, a wonderful deck for relaxing together, outdoor fireplace and firepit, grill and kitchen with all that one needs to prepare meals. There were wonderful rocking chairs and deck chairs for just relaxing and watching the sunsets and the plethora of hummingbirds. The yard was great for a ball game too. A BIG downfall was the cleanliness of the place. Dog hair was E V E R Y W H E R E! Doors when opened, made hair airborne. Most of our family are not 'indoor dog people'. The one family that has a golden retriever in their house called it 'bad' by their standard as well! Bathrooms were clean, but we cannot say the same for the beds (dog hair on sheets) and the floors. Dirty tissues were in bathroom drawers and behind the toilet. Nice washers and dryers, yet both were stuffed with towels and sheets- still wet in the washer too. The entire place needs a hard core cleaning. The railing in the loft and going upstairs was decorative, but extremely unsafe. On the positive side, the owner was very much in communication with us and offered to help the best he could. Once WE vacummed and superficially cleaned, we decided that we could deal with it and chose to stay. Overall we kept it a fun, safe family-bonding experience. We won't go back though.

Quiet country setting with hummingbirds and deer

Check in was easy. Place is big with nice kitchen and large bedrooms and bathrooms. Deck with fireplace was great. Yard was big and flat so room to play. Ping pong and pool and corn hole provided. We had good family meals with a large dining room. Solitude and quiet best describes accomodations

A little bit of heaven...with cows!

Beautiful, comfortable home with plenty of space for our family of six (including 4 teen children)...the kids loved the Netflix equipped TVs in the bedrooms. On days we didn't have activities planned, it was nice to just stay at the cabin and enjoy the hot tub, play pool, or sit on the back deck and watch the ever changing sky. We also really enjoyed the fireplace on the deck...we were able to be out and enjoy that even on evenings that the weather wasn't so cooperative. The cabin was clean, the furniture and decorations felt fresh, and it was well stocked. The only thing that takes getting used to is the distance from grocery stores. It's a good 30 minutes or so to the nearest small IGA so make sure you plan what you need in advance because you won't want to make multiple trips. The same with eating out, there are not many nearby choices so for the few times we did eat out, we went to Snowshoe Resort (~15 minutes away). You really and truly feel like you're in your own world and your only neighbors are the multiple bunnies, hummingbirds (watching them was my husband's favorite past time), and the occasional stray cow or two. We would absolutely return to "TOTRC."

Outback cabin with a view

We Enjoyed The cabin with a view and lots of outdoor space. This Cabin Is outback indeed. The large round dining room table worked super great for the meals our family made here. We enjoyed the area. There weren't many people around in the summertime and while on the nearby (Seneca Skyway Scenic Route) it felt like it was just us and mountains as far as you can see (Super Awesome)! We also enjoyed Cass Railroad. The only thing that could be a negative, if you like to take long showers, this cabin may not be a good fit for you. they stress the need to conserve water. we had no issues, but we conserved water. Great Cabin.

Beautiful setting, home is in need of attention

The home is in a beautiful setting very convenient to Snowshoe ). Access road is rugged but very manageable with AWD even with a light snow. The fire pit and outdoor fireplace were enjoyed every day of our stay. The kitchen was sell stocked and the large round table with lazy Susan was perfect for family game nights. The internet worked well along with the entertainment equipment. A call from the owner soon after check in was pleasant and appreciated. Although the general impression was good, there were a number of issues that needed to be corrected. The microwave oven worked intermittently and sometimes turned itself on unexpectedly. The trash compactor also did not work well. The living room sofa was worn out ( as per a review from 2017). The French doors in the basement had a significant hole apparently from water damage. Some of the beds were uncomfortable. The listing indicated there was a twin bed in one of the master bedrooms which did not exist. The general cleanliness of the home needed improvement as there were many dead insects on the upper floor. I was thrilled that the home had a hot tub but the tub was unable to maintain the set temperature ( or even close) after the top was removed which rendered it unusable in 20 degree weather. All of the above fall into general maintenance and should not require contacting the owner after arrival. In its currant condition, we do not plan on returning. With some well needed maintenance the nightly rate could be well justified.

Getting away from it all

Top of the ridge cabin was a perfect spot to reconnect with our children and grandchildren after the pandemic. We all enjoyed the views and remote peacefulness and abundant wildlife. If you enjoy hiking like us there are unlimited adventures around that we took advantage of daily.

Beautiful piece of property

Our family had the best time enjoying the most beautiful piece of land, running through the maze, playing backyard games and ending the nights watching the sunsets with drinks. The cabin was so comfortable and had everything we needed. The host was very helpful. Everyone from my 65 year old mother in law to our 2 year old had the best time. A highlight was watching a bear cub crawl down a tree! If you need a quick adventure Whittaker Falls swimming hole was amazing and the ice cream cones at the Cass station were delish! Thanks to Scott and Lynn for a relaxing and fun filled week, we hope to be back!

Why they chose this property

Lynn and I picked this property specifically for the flat open space on the top of the mountain. It's the only property like it in the area. Our goal was to have a place our kids could enjoy, play football, soccer, bike, hike, paintball, etc. It really has worked perfectly for us and we hope you could enjoy it the same way we have over the years
