Good space for large groups

Overall the stay was really good. We had a couple drawers and handles that were broke or falling off. No towel hooks by the hot tubs. And it would have been nice to have some extra towels for the hot tub. Our dryer would not heat so that made washing towels impossible. And the turnaround time to get it fixed was a little long. The kitchen also needed cookie sheets.

Won't rent again from Jackson Properties

The house was very nice although there were only 19 forks in the kitchen and it is supposed to house over 30 guests. Contract that we signed said checkout was 11 central time but they enforced a 10 eastern exit time with several pre-written messages. When we asked about it, we got another non-answer. They were at out door before 9:30 to start the cleanup process! At the last minute we were told there were no blankets. We made room in crowded vehicles for blankets (one family had 8 people in their vehicle) and we found the beds had blankets plus extras in drawers. They said to clean the grill after use but it was so filthy, it took a lot of time to clean it up to use. When we arrived the back door on one of the bedrooms was wide open and the couple that stayed in that room had a mouse that kept them up at night. Although the place was nice, they definitely need to improve their communication. We don't plan to ever intend to rent from that company again!

Large cabin great for school groups

The cabin has a large kitchen with plenty of seating and double ovens and refrigerator which helps with a large group of teenagers with snacks. It was affordably priced, most we looked at were upwards of $10,000 for that size. Our only issue was the cleanliness of the cabin. The floors in the kitchen were sticky and the some of the bathrooms had to be cleaned before being used, especially the bathtubs. Our feet were black when we walked on the floor without shoes and we had to wash them before going to bed. The floors are also incredibly squeaky with every step and although it was helpful to know where to kiss were at any moment, it made midnight bathroom runs an event that woke the entire floor. It wasn't enough to keep us from renting it again because all the other properties were much more expensive and we could not have afforded the trip if we hadn't found this one.

Amazing cabin

Our stay wag great! Plenty of space for the 20 of us. Literally 2 of everything made ot so much easier to maneuver around. Love the big family table and outdoor seating. Only gripe is the bbq grill was filthy on arrival and it caused us to waste food, the connect 4 game didnt have the pieces it should and the wifi needed clearer instructions to get going. Also there was someone that tried to come in the house saying they had gotten a work order. That was a little scary because i would expect that to be commuicated through the property manager. Other than that it was a great location and a beautiful time. Would recommend and come back.

Beautiful & spacious home

The home was beautiful. Could definitely use some updates, especially in the bathroom showers but we had plenty of space for our party of 10. They do not leave many (or any) start up items, like garbage bags, dishwasher soap, hand soap, coffee filters, shampoo/cond, etc, so you definitely have to make an immediate grocery trip. The parking lot/spaces are terrible, way too small & crowded for the area. We had trucks & were blocked in numerous days by other nearby guests. But our overall stay was good. Other than location & parking, we would probably stay there again. with a large party.

The perfect mountain getaway

This property was perfect for our large group. Having the dual dishwashers/ fridges/ ovens made cooking and food preparation easy! The kids enjoyed the downstairs games and the bunk rooms. The cabin and hot tubs were clean when we arrived and check in / check out was easy through the portal. The only advice we have for people going up is to bring your own oven mitts — there wasn’t any there.

Clean & Spacious!

10 co-workers stayed here for a company retreat. It was wonderful! We could have easily doubled our guest count and still felt comfortable in this spacious home. The kitchen was so well stocked with plenty of everything. Having two of each major appliance, especially refrigerators, allowed for easy cooking for a crowd and easy cleanup, too. The beds were very comfortable. The water pressure was great. The large open living/dining/kitchen area made it easy for us to all gather comfortably. It was a quick drive to everything we wanted to see and do - the downtown area, the arts & crafts district, and the grocery store were all very easily accessible. There are three large cabins right next to each other so it is not secluded and private, if that's important to you. We were fine with other guests in close proximity. One of the hot tubs was not working when we arrived and they had a technician there very quickly - within the hour - to resolve the problem. We were very happy and would highly recommend this rental.

Family vacation

We had a great time, and the cabin provided a relaxing getaway close enough to town. Overall the experience was fine. We could not lower the temperature in the cabin below 75°, which was very uncomfortable, especially as we had multiple infants seven weeks to 7 months old. We only had other minor inconveniences that were taken care of, and they gave us tickets to a show to make up for the trouble, which was very nice!
