"I have to say, I am disappointed at the cleanliness of our cabin given the expensive cost to stay here. Upon arrival, there were many hand prints and finger prints on the window, dirt/sand was on the floor, trash was along the exterior of the cabin, and there was some food left in the sink that was clearly not cleaned. I am not a high maintenance individual by any means but to be paying Almost $300.00 a night I expected a clean, ready-to-go cabin, not one I’d be cleaning for my first hour while here. Also for the price, it’s surprising to see that everything has a charge. $5.00 bag to make 2 s’mores when again, I paid almost $300.00 a night and was able to get supplies for $10.00 to make at least 20. With the cons aside, I have to say that so far it has been a very nice peaceful weekend to just lay low, be with my partner, and enjoy each others presence. The cabin design is simple, cozy, and beautiful. Also love the big window that looks into the woods and brings in lots of natural light throughout the day. Overall, I personally do not think that for the price it is worth to stay here again as there are many airbnb rentals that are within the same price range, scenic area, and offered much more. If you choose to stay here I hope you have a more positive experience and get to really enjoy the potential these cabins have."
"Its definitely not worth the money . Really small small room . It was not clean first of all. Found a lot of Hair. Hair in the fridge , around the bed. It is disappointing they couldnt clean a small room of 200sqft. Hot water only comes for 5 minutes and then takes 30 minutes for the next hot water. Paying more than 300 bucks and feeling like you're surviving is not worth the hype. They charge you for every little thing after paying good money. For coffee , tea , for the fire . Its ridiculous. you're not really in a secluded area too."
"The cabins are beautiful. The perfect getaway for those from NYC & Long Island. We stood 2 nights and the staff was quick to respond to all of our requests. We were running a bit behind the morning of our check out and the staff was very courteous and allowed us an extra 20-30 minutes to finish up. Cabins are stocked with basic essentials (utensils, oil, pot, pan, coffee pot, plates, bowls, cups, mugs, cutting board, scissors, tongs, creamer, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash). We arrived just after it had snowed (which made the ground icy & slippery) and just before heavy rain (which made it muddy) so I suggest bringing proper boots. Food in the area is good but limited so I definitely recommend bringing groceries for meals if staying 2+ nights. We brought a cooler for larger items but the mini fridge does have space for lots of small things and one liter sized bottle. My only real complaint would be the hot water reserve. Even during quick showers the hot water would run out before we could finish, but not a major issue. Overall the experience was amazing and I’d definitely love to go again on a warm summer day."
"THEY WILL STEAL YOUR THINGS. came here with my boyfriend for a 2-night getaway, their little store was closed which was a bummer. we got groceries and cooked and made sure to leave everything spotless to make it easier on the cleaning crew. about 30 minutes after checkout, i realized i left my coat in the cabin and contacted their staff immediately. they do not have staff at each location which is wild, i had to go through corporate, my coat was not lost, it was left in the cabin, and after 3 weeks, they told me there was nothing they could do. i know someone saw a max mara coat and decided to keep it for themselves. they changed their lost and found policy a week after i notified them. complete disregard for their guests and there is NO SECURITY OR STAFF TO HELP. i’m sure if i was an influencer staying there my experience would have been so different and they would have gone out of their way to help. shame."
"Our stay at getaway was part of a company retreat. The staff was very helpful & the group set up was perfect. Thanks for having us and the rest of our F9 crew. Our only criticism would be the lack of recycling made us a bit sad (thus the four stars for service). The cabins are truly special and the property makes a great backdrop for adventures and memories."
