Nice place to stay for a few days. We just needed a bed, a shower and a refrigerator and a much better option than a hotel. This place had that and then some.

Lack of Response
The property was clean & looked just like the pictures. Unfortunately, we had a few small issues that would have been easily resolved but the manager did not respond to any of our correspondence until after check out. Prior to checking in, I sent two chat messages to the property manager in the VRBO - no response. Upon arrival, we entered the property & the smell of air freshener was very overwhelming. The home had 5 plug in air fresheners all on the highest scent level. We moved the air fresheners outside & that solved the problem. The first night was ok except the flange in the toilet was broken causing the toilet to run all night. In addition, the Wi-Fi did not work. The next morning I called the manager and left a message regarding the two issues. I never received a call back. That next night, we turned the water off to the toilet and had to turn it back on and off every time we used it. That evening, while taking a shower, a scorpion bite my uncles foot. I contacted the manager again the next morning and left a second voicemail message. She later return my call and noted the Wi-Fi sometimes has issues (as noted in other VRBO reviews) and the toilet was working fine they day before when she was at the property. She informed me that my voicemail message was not returned because she was at church when I called. I understand all stays are not perfect but I give the 2 star rating due to the lack of response and the lack of accountability for to fix the issues.

I little slice of heaven!
My son and I went for a father son weekend. It was going to be cut short by a day due to me not feeling well but the owner was super nice and extended the stay a day at no charge! The property is nice and clean and the neighborhood is super quiet. We enjoyed cooking out, amazing Star watching, and constant deer watching right in the yard. We are looking forward to returning soon for a longer visit.

We really enjoyed the Jefferson Retreat. It was off the beaten path and that is what we were looking for. We loved all the nature around us. We saw deer and a racoon. (That is exciting for us City Folks!) We met the neighbor's dog, Sassy. She is a white Golden Doodle and is precious! We were able to take her on walks with her leash. We enjoyed swimming at Dangerfield State Park. We rented a paddle boat and a canoe. We enjoyed evening swims a little closer to the property (no water rentals there). We enjoyed the shops and restaurants in Jefferson. If you are a coffee drinker, The Hive is a must. The Jefferson Retreat and surrounding area would be stunning when the leaves change colors in the fall.

Clean, cozy house in a great location!
My husband and I came to Jefferson for a quick getaway to relax and fish on Lake of the Pines. The house was so clean and cozy. The owners responded quickly when we had questions. They even had snacks and coffee available. We’ll definitely be back!

Although this property was very hard to find and not available through GPS, the property itself was nice and comfortable. It was clean and their kindness in supplying coffee was very thoughtful. Had a bit of trouble with the internet being in and out.

My family and I enjoyed this cottage for a midweek- weekend stay! Peaceful and quiet neighborhood just what we all needed for a few days! The property manager was very responsive on every attempt of contact and was very nice! The cottage was very clean and exactly what the ad presented and I would highly recommend this unit and will definitely stay again!

super cozy and relaxing
The hosts have gone over an above to make guest feel welcome. There were so many little touches that helped to make our stay extra comfortable. It rained the first few days of our stay, so we were unable to go do some of the planned activities, but we were very cozy just staying in the home. The fenced area for the dogs was perfect also. The neighbors dog roams free, so they came to "visit" a few times, so if you have a reactive pet, you should be aware of that. The only thing that was a little frustrating was the internet signal, it was spotty at best (not that the host can do anything about that) so when streaming movies, there is a bunch of buffering. I did not give any bad ratings for that, since I am sure it is out of their control. Even my phone was only at 2 bars for signal strength. Overall, super convenient to Jefferson for anything we might have needed.
