The property was exactly as described. The view of the bay was beautiful. If you go in the summer and hope to swim, you’ll have to drive to a sandy beach. This is on a marshy stretch. We didn’t mind this at all as it was spring and we just wanted the view. The cabin delivered. The owner wad responsive and kind.

We had a wonderful experience at this rental! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean and well stocked the house was. The location was ideal: quiet and peaceful, yet just a short drive to local attractions, restaurants, and shops. We especially loved relaxing on the patio in the evenings, soaking in the serene views and enjoying the fresh air and amazing sunsets and sunrises.Communication with the host was seamless—they were responsive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making our stay perfect.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a short but wonderful stay at Lifes-A-Hoot. Such a cute place to stay. Beautiful views with lots of wildlife to be seen. A deer even walked up on us while we were watching the sunrise. The beds were very comfy. Anything we needed was there in the cabin. We will definitely stay again!

There are three A frames tucked away and the end of a road and the location is excellent. It was so quiet at night that sometimes had to remember that the back door was open. My wife and I traveled with our kayaks and this was a perfect location as a local launch was just around the corner. While we were on the bay, the water at the time we were there was a bit low to launch into. The cabin was very neat and had just enough space and amenities for our needs. The communication from the cabin group was excellent with constant updates, directions, and notes. We highly recommend Lifes A Hoot cabins.

Best i can do

I don't normally leave poor reviews. Booked during a slow weekend. Our paralyzed son had an emergency and we've been in hospital all week. He was really looking forward to the trip, but owner wouldn't let us reschedule (didn't ask for refund, we just wanted to reschedule)for another weekend. Its their right to act that way. Its just unfortunate that they choose too. Enjoy your free money I guess
