Liked: Cleanliness, check-in

It was adequate

It fit our needs but the online description wasn't super accurate and we had ac and other issues that they responded to initially and then ignored after that. I don't like dealing with management companies and this was no exception.

Family holiday trip

Very nice and clean accommodations. No surprises which I think we all dislike. Property is about a 10 minute drive to Helen. Close enough to Helen to enjoy all it has to offer as well as close to other towns around. Great for family trips.

Overall fine cabin

We planned this last minute and were just looking for somewhere to meet with family. The cabin was okay. The pool table had a quarter size hole near the center. The remotes for the tv and fan control all had low or dead batteries that we replaced. All the bulbs in the living area ceiling fan light were blown. We replaced those also. There was an issue with the light switch in one of the downstairs bedroom where it didn't work properly and when you flipped it, you could hear a crackling noise. Maintenance did come and address it but still doesn't work 100%. And there was hardly any light in the game room. Also it is listed as 4 bedroom and 4 bathroom when there is really 3 actual bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and the game room with a futon (and no bedding for the futon). No extra blankets or anything. For what we needed it for it was fine but not great.
