  A beautiful, comfortable stay in a well-maintained cottage, slightly impacted by a challenging driveway in wet condition

  Beautiful view and a comfortable stay, with all amenities provided; the house is clean, a charming old-style cottage, and very well maintained.

  The driveway is quite tight for larger vehicles and slopes steeply at the lower end; combined with the frequent rain during our stay, it made access a bit challenging.

  The view was lovely but the cabin was poorly maintained.

  The views were beautiful. The cabin was warm and the beds were comfortable. The host responded to all my questions and allowed us early access.

  The access to the property was very difficult. The driveway was super steep and narrow and felt dangerous in the rain. The stairs to the property were also steep,ragged and uneven and what rails were there, were loose and rotten. There was a used bar of soap in the shower and the door knob to the toilet fell off in my hand. There was inadequate toilet paper for our time. There didn’t seem to be a compendium of information anywhere and a few times we were at a loss as to how to use things. There were 4 bowls (for a 5 bed house) but over 50 glasses. There was old food in the pantry. There were gaps under the outside door which allowed mosquitoes to come inside. The gates were falling off their hinges. The whole place was quaint but needed a huge amount of maintenance and the access was verging on dangerous - especially in the rain.

  Highly Recomend this property, Views were spectacular!

  Awesome Cabin, the views were amazing for sunset. Very clean. The aircon kept the whole place cool, didn't get to try the fireplace as it was summer and too hot. Kitchen was fully equipped. It was a lovely and quiet spot. Close by to all the best spots in Mount Dandenong. Note, there are uneven stairs from the carport to the cabin, was not a problem for us but not accessible for those with access needs or who can't walk up stairs.

  Love a log cabin up a mountain.

  This is a beautiful and very authentic log cabin that looks down the mountain to the north. We loved the sunroom, the cosy comfort of the lounge (which would be even better in winter) and the easy connection to the towns of the Ranges and the bush itself.

  The steep driveway is a challenge but gets easier with experience 😬
