Hi Darlene, Thank you so much for the great review, we’d love to host you again. Come back anytime. The internet service provider did come back on Monday morning and was able to locate a break of the line entering the cabin. It’s been repaired and we both thank you for your patience. We are adding WiFi to all of our vacation cabins at the end of the month and hopefully, we won’t have any more issues with the service provider. Gary and Dawn

Hi Kim, We are so glad that you enjoyed our cabin so much that you came back for a 2nd visit. That's the highest compliment we can receive and it validates our hard work. We have been working hard on cabin #3. We currently have cabins #1, #2 and #4 available for guest stays. We got some last minute items we have to perform and we have the very important task of naming it and hope to have all done by June 1st. Please come back to see us again. Gary and Dawn

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your stay and experience at our cabin. We appreciate your comments, with specific mention as to the "really good value". Gary and I recognize that the average person is struggling with economic challenges; with costs of everything going sky high. So we try and keep costs as low and reasonable as possible. This is challenging for us as fuel/utility costs keep rising, along with property taxes, etc. But we try to focus on our guests and their experiences: from the initial booking of their stay, through to their last day with the check-out process. Based on the average reviews left by previous guests, they enjoyed the experiences of peace and relaxation in nature. They enjoyed the ability to get away from every day hustle and bustle, and the stresses of every day life. Based on this feedback, we feel we have accomplished our goal. This is what we strive to hear from our guests. With respect to our other properties, we currently have 3 cabins on the Vrbo website, with the 4th we hope to complete in late Fall. Thank you for choosing 7 Bridges Rentals! Dawn and Gary

Fun weekend with Friends
We had a great ladies weekend. We enjoyed the quiet wilderness feel of the location. The cabin was cozy and comfy. The only drawback of the cabin was that there is not a walkway/sidewalk from the driveway to the cabin. It has been raining all day and our feet and pants were wet, and we brought grass into the cabin. Overall, we enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay there again.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a live review. Reviews and feedback of our guests stay's with us is vital to the success of our business. If our guests are happy and they've had an enjoyable experience, then we've done our job! Likewise, If our guests had a negative experience then we need to know about it, so we can correct any issues necessary. Gary and I try very hard to be as accurate and detailed in our cabin descriptions, as possible.....leaving No Surprises! That is what WE would expect when choosing a vacation getaway destination! Especially in today's environment, we all need to be careful when choosing the right vacation getaway. With costs continuing to go up on everything, it's important to us that we make every effort to be as transparent with our details of our cabins. Folks pay a great deal of their hard earned money on their vacations; as well as invest their time in driving to their destinations, etc. If our guests are willing to invest their time and money in our cabins, they deserve the BEST experience possible. Thank you for being such wonderful guests; and for choosing 7 Bridges Rentals! Dawn and Gary,

Birthday Getaway
My godbrother and I rented this cabin for my birthday. The cabin was lovely, and immaculate. I found that the internet was quite fast, allowing me to stay in contact with my family while I was there. Both of the bedrooms were quite comfortable, as was the couch. We didn't get to spend much time outside since it was raining, but the yard looked beautiful. One of the best parts of the property for me was walking out side and getting to see crayfish walking across the lawn. I have a creek in my back yard that has crayfish in it, but I had never seen them out of the water.

Hello Gabriel, Many thanks for taking time to leave us a review. Thank you also for commenting on the details of the cabin both inside and out. Gary and I take much pride in our cabins and try to appoint and add special touches so all of our guests feel welcome and special. That's what we ourselves look for when searching for a vacation destination. With respect to the crayfish walking across the lawn, this is the first time we've heard of that or anyone seeing anything like that. I guess when you're enjoying vacation and relaxing, you have time to notice these things. Which is all good! Thank you for being a wonderful guest. We hope you join us again for another stay.

Great home base
The cabin was clean, comfortable, and functional. Gary responded quickly to any questions I had and he was very hospitable. We were in town for a wedding with a 4-year-old and a 4-month-old and it was great for us to have quiet, private space for cooking meals and taking naps. The only two caveats are the lack of cell service and the dirt roads leading to the property. Obviously, these are not under the host's control and may not be an issue for many people. The wifi is good so I was able to coordinate plans with others via email when text messages and phone calls wouldn't go through. I would definitely recommend a 4-wheel drive vehicle! We had a little Nissan sentra which was fine until it rained, then it was a little hairy trying to get into town since the dirt roads turned to mud. All in all, I would definitely stay there again, but would either drive my SUV from MA or rent something with AWD. Fantastic place! Thanks again for hosting us!

Weekend away at a beautiful cabin
This rental was absolutely perfect for the weekend we had in mind. The property owners were very communicative. The cabin was beautiful and clean. I especially loved how the kitchen had everything needed for cooking! I would gladly stay again.

Not as expected
The cabin was situated exactly where I thought it would be and from the outside it looked perfect but the inside was a different story there were cobwebs in every room I got most of them down the kitchen supplies as far as pots and pans and the ability to like cook a meal was extremely lacking the beds were comfortable the island that was described it was actually a tall table that was built into the wall there actually was not a kitchen table like with chairs around it the whole cabin smelled of whether it was kerosene or oil lamps I have no idea but even the clean clothes we brought home had to be laundered because they smelled of that odor if thinking of bringing small or even teenage children unless you’re hunting forget it there are no games books there were some videos and because it’s so isolated it iwas like you’d have to drive 30 to 50 min to even find a restaurant that was open The fireplace was a small electric fireplace that was completely fake. This is a good cabin for hunting but not a family vacation or get away

Renee, thank you for your review. We take our guest reviews very seriously and have worked very hard to become Premier host. We are sorry our cabin did not meet your expectations. There is no way we want guests to find cobwebs in every room. This is a cabin that is very rural and a cobweb may be missed here and there but should not be everywhere. We’ll discuss this directly with the cleaning crew. As far as the island, I don’t see where we described it inaccurately and I believe we provided enough photos of the inside of the cabin that they represent what the cabin has and doesn’t have as far as furniture and a layout. Concerning the ability to cook a meal, in the 55 reviews we have received from other guest, you are the first to indicate that there was not enough pots and pans etc., to cook a meal. We will do a kitchen inventory, as it is unfortunate that some guests do help themselves to items inside our cabins, so it is possible that some items may be missing. Concerning the fireplace, we state in the amenities section of the Vrbo website there is “A fire pit outside and an electric wood stove inside”. We have never portrayed that we had a wood burning fireplace within the cabin, so we apologize if you feel that you were misled. That is not how we operate. We do our best to describe what our cabins have and do not have. We have no idea what smell you are referring to inside the cabin, so I’ve sent our maintenance crew to make sure nothing got spilled or that there are no issues with the furnace etc. Lastly, it’s true, we do not supply a lot of items for children in our cabins. There are decks of cards and a couple board games and a few movies as you indicated. Children today have many options available to them and most are electronic devices that they bring with them. That said, we are not opposed to reviewing what we do have and adding a few more items. We do want our guest to have a worry and carefree stay with us. We’ll evaluate your concerns and if we can improve, we will and we hope you’ll consider staying with us again. Regards, Gary and Dawn

The perfect setup
We used this for a hunting camp. It was 15 minutes from the place we hunt. The setup of the cabin was perfect because we could use the basement area for our hunting gear so we could get ready and walk out the door. The only downfall were the roads which were very muddy and not in the greatest condition. Other than that we had a great time.

Hi Chris, Thank you for taking time to leave us a review. We are glad you enjoyed the cabin and that it was the perfect set up for you all. Gary and I have control over most things in terms of the cabin; however the road conditions are not one of them. These are rural roads that the town doesn't maintain on a regular basis; which is out of our control unfortunately. Thank you for being great guests. We hope you come back for another stay. Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving and Christmas! Dawn and Gary, 7 Bridges Rentals
