This cabin couldn't be at a more beautiful location. The creek was so much fun to swim in. Don't bother paying for Turner Falls unless you really want to see the falls themselves. The creek is just a minute walk from the cabin. The rocks are less slippery than the falls ones were and you don't have the crazy crowds.
A few housekeeping notes for the owners. The area is covered in poison ivy. We got it while on our trip just because it was nearly impossible to walk anywhere behind the cabin at all without coming into contact with it. Also, there is a fallen/dead tree behind. If it were removed, the scenery would be even better.
My husband suggested padlocking the grill, as when we arrived, the last users placed it under the deck. He said if someone were to use too much lighter fluid, it would easily start a fire under the deck by catching the wood on fire. He placed it back on the porch where the top of it was not covered. The inside grate of the grill looked as though it had never been cleaned and ashes were built up so badly under the grate that they spilled everywhere as he struggled to get the drawer that holds the ashes out.
It would be nice if there was a dvd player instead of satellite. It rained a little on Friday so we wanted to snuggle in and watch something but tv is just so bad these days. The options were awful. Just a suggestion so people have the option to bring their own or go rent a movie for a night in. :)
Finally, the ac unit in the first room (where there are two beds) had a lot of trouble cooling the room. It wasn't blowing much air and the air that did come out was only cold part of the time. My husband suggested checking the Freon. The air wasn't hot to sleep in but when the AC wasn't working properly, the humidity was awful.
For guests:
Bring water bottles. The water out there tastes awful.
Wear water shoes to play in the creek to help have better traction when swimming in the deeper areas.
There are scorpions so just make sure to wear shoes when outside. Our girls thought it was neat to see a scorpion up close.
Also, we did not realize marijuana was legal in OK so it was annoying for me & my asthmatic daughter to be exposed to with nothing we could do about it except to head indoors. People need to be considerate of those around them & the cabins are so close together, it should be a no-brainer to be respectful of your neighbors.
