'Fins & Flowers' Off-Grid Hütte mit Forellenangeln!

We're so glad this cozy Amish built cabin gave you the peaceful getaway you were looking for, and that the porch and all those birdsongs made such an impression. It really is one of our favorite spots to just sit and unwind. Thank you for sharing your experience, and for the kind words about our communication. Wishing you many more relaxing escapes ahead!

We’re glad you appreciated the property and its surrounding bees and wildlife! This is intentionally a rugged, off-grid setting rather than maintained parkland, and the surrounding area is planted as bee habitat, so it is not intended to be fully mowed. Guests were advised before arrival that the solar system was unavailable and the backup generator would be needed. Instructions for the home’s systems are also provided in the welcome book. We appreciate your feedback and hope this context helps future guests determine whether this unique setting is the right fit for their stay.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry for the frustration caused by the ants and the power loss that led to your early departure. To ensure this doesn't happen again, we've had a contractor caulk potential entry points and completed a thorough treatment to resolve the ant issue completely. Regarding the stream access, we maintain a clear six-foot-wide path down to the water, though we intentionally keep the surrounding meadow unmowed as a pollinator habitat for local bees. We provide the on-site guide regarding wild parsnip to help keep our guests informed and safe while exploring the area. Lastly, we take power reliability seriously and have already upgraded to a larger battery storage system, with an expanded rooftop solar system being installed soon to better support future stays.

We’re glad you enjoyed the cabin’s peaceful setting, fireflies, stargazing, and hummingbirds, and we appreciate your kind words about the assistance you received. We’re sorry the power and lock issues affected your experience. Before your arrival, we shared that the solar system was unavailable and that a generator would provide power, along with fuel and operating instructions. When the combination lock malfunctioned, an emergency locksmith was called, and the issue was repaired that same day. After checkout, we also drove approximately 50 miles each way to return a purse and car key that were left behind. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to ensure guests have a comfortable stay.
