Bee Keepers Cabin

Amazing cabin far up in the woods Positive: The decor, small amenities, solitude and comfort were all amazing. It would be great for a weeklong getaway when you had no interest in leaving the site except to hike. They even had a small bottle of olive oil, a full selection of spices and a minimal selection of teas & sugars. Negative: It was definitely a 4x4 low drive up so be careful. The firewood was not split for the fireplace in the room. The wifi would not connect to laptops, although it did connect with phones.

Honestly I would avoid until they pay attention to the cabin Positive: The cabin is beautiful and my now fiance proposed to me here so it'll always be special to me. Negative: There are so many problems. The issue is that you can report them to the managing company, but they just assume everything is user error and do absolutely nothing about it. There is a major problem with the doors to this property. The managing company thinks it’s just a matter of technique and that people aren’t getting it, but it’s not. There is a serious problem. Had I been there alone, I wouldn’t have been able to get in to begin with, and once inside, I would have had to leave it insecure. We only managed to lock through the sheer perseverance of my fiancé. The locks are broken and need changing. The woodburner also has issues. We lit it as the cabin was cold, and the entire cabin filled with smoke. We have a woodburner at home, so we understand about the flue, etc. There was literally smoke coming out of the pipe where screws should have been but were missing. This is a dangerous situation. The managing company just dismissed it as user error. Outside the cabin is basically a dumping ground. There’s a big pile of trash with glass and rubber in it, and there’s glass all over the ground and around the fire pit. This property needs some serious attention. Finally, the driveway is more than just rugged. It’s extremely long and very much off-road. I would not stay here again.

The house was aesthetically pleasing, however we had no hot water after the 1st night. Positive: The property was aesthetically pleasing to the eyesight. Negative: The rocky driveway you have to climb in your car. I think if there will be guest, either they know about this or maybe consider paving the road for future guest. Also, there was no hot water after the first night. I reached out to the owner and she said that she would reach out shortly but she never retuned with a text or call, so we ended up cutting our getaway short.

Beautiful but lots of issues, I'm sure some guests find it perfect Positive: So the good things - the pictures of the property were spot on. I picked it because it was in a wooded setting, and the cabin looked very recently updated, which it was. If you want to sleep in the middle of the forest with (almost) no neighbors, this may be the place for you. Negative: Now the bad things. You MUST have an SUV to even reach the cabin, and that information isn't given until you have paid for your (nonrefundable, in my case) stay. I would not rent it again without a 4WD SUV, my brand new Outlander SUV did OK but it was a difficult ride, partly because it had rained recently. While the views are beautiful, there are no shades/curtains on the windows, so you're getting up with the sun like it or not. There's a nice wooden walkway from the gravel driveway to the cabin, but it's very slippery when wet. It is in the middle of the woods, and I know they are trying on this, but there were a fair amount of bugs in the cabin. The kitchen was beautiful too, but of the 3 baking sheets, 2 literally did not fit in the oven, and I needed those :-( There was also no closet - I really think rooms should have some reasonable place to hang up clothes if you are staying more than 1 night. The communications from the host were not great - "Put the trash in the outdoor receptacles" but there weren't any, things like that. Nothing horrible but not my expectations.

Perfect place to relax and be in nature Positive: Absolutely beautiful property. I wanted a place to disconnect and be in nature and this was the perfect spot. The cabin is in the middle of the woods and near a beautiful stream that runs right by it. We had a fantastic time!! Had a small issue with the water heater but the staff was very prompt about answering questions and helping us resolve the issue. Highly recommend! Negative: N/A
