Excellent Weekend

4 of 5
Submitted: Jun 5, 2013
Stayed: May 2013

We enjoyed our stay very much. Overall the cabin was excellent. The only reason I rated four stars rather than 5 is that in order to get to the cabin, we had to ride on a dirt road (only way in) for roughly a half mile. Each time in and out our bikes were covered with dust. Thankfully the cabin made up for the dirty bikes.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your visit and review.
There is a few hundred yards of gravel from Main Street to cabin, the uphill is blacktop, and there can be dust sometimes. Still I am glad that the cabin was worth the inconvenience and having dirty bikes.

Spacious and centrally located, but needs some updating

Our visit to Helen turned out to be a very rainy weekend. That made the quality of accommodations extremely important, as hiking and town activities were all but rained out. Fortunately, this cabin was very spacious.

The good:
* Updated kitchen and appliances
* Nice, large (outside) hot tub
* Spacious wrap-around deck
* Dual charcoal/propane grill with an extra canister of propane
* Spacious living areas

The bad:
* Outdated furnishings (in the downstairs game room, so old they looked dirty) and TVs
* Farther from town than it seems. Significant incline. Not (comfortable) walking distance from town.
* Fireplace didn't vent correctly... a lot of smoke came in the cabin (even with the flue fully open). This might have been due to the windy and rainy weather conditions. We had to stop using the fireplace after the first fire because it was so bad...
* We encountered several large spiders, most of them dead, but a couple alive...

Owner's Response: Thank you for choosing our cabin and taking the time to write some feedback. It really helps us to keep this home in good condition.
We have already updated the furniture in the gameroom.
The distance to the town is less than mile, but it is 300 feet above the Main Street, easy walk down, cab brings back with minimal cost, if preferred. We usually walk there and back ourselves. Location gives peace and quiet as well as accessibility to city services.
Fireplace vents once the chimney dries and warms up, If the weather is rainy and cold, burning a newspaper or two before using wood creates draft. We have noticed that cracking the window helps starting the draft in fireplace as well by preventing downdraft.
We had our bug service treating the cabin recently, maybe it increased number of dead spiders which may have surfaced after cleaners went through the cabin, sorry for inconvenience, at least the treatment appears to be effective.

Thank you again for detailed feedback, we will take care of these issues noted.

We enjoyed our stay at the Bavarian Pit Stop. Close in to Helen yet far enough and high enough away to have great views and very quite. We were on a 6-man fishing trip and the cabin accomodated everyone, one guy to a bed with one exception that slept on a sofa.

We had a lovely visit to Helen. The cabin is cozy -- we especially enjoyed the fireplace & firepit! We had a surpricingly delicious meal at "Survivor's" when everythingelse was closed. The hot tub was great.

Thanks for a great trip!

Overall a nice little place to get away

The Bavarian Pit Stop was a cozy little cabin that our little family did thoroughly enjoy. The pictures online are a very accurate portrayal of the property. The cabin was even decorated for Christmas and the tree was lit when we arrived which made our visit even more enjoyable. (We were traveling with our 7 month old and he enjoyed the lit tree and the fire in the fireplace) The hot tub was AMAZING!!! And the little vendor as you make the turn to go up to the property had a great supply of firewood and boiled peanuts!

There were very few cons about the property and all were things that could easily be remedied. 1-The tub upstairs needs some attention. When we turned on the jets to create "bubbles" for our little one the tub immediately started filling with little bits of dirt and brown grit. Gross! Upon inspection we found that each of the jets were all gunky and clogged with filth and were in need of a good scrub and disinfecting. We just used the shower for the rest of the trip. Water pressure upstairs is weak, but better downstairs. 2-It may be a good idea to stock the place with a few new pans for cooking. It was cold and rainy for the latter part of our trip so we decided to just cook the last two days and the pans were awful. The non-stick pan had no "non-stick" surface left. And in cleaning another pan I managed to cut myself on the bottom of it---random sharp piece of jagged metal. Again, easy fix...or just bring your own. 3-The "short walk" to Helen would be for those prepared to hike a good little while---not a stroller friendly walk at all. Oh and adding a hand rail on the opposite side of the stairs leading upstairs might be something to consider. While the garland around the rail was beautiful, it did make it difficult to hold onto the rail when going upstairs; which made carrying our little one up and down the stairs a little more challenging.

All-in-all we enjoyed our time at the cabin and are already in talks about scheduling another trip for Spring/Summer. We would certainly recommend the cabin to friends and family!

Owner's Response: Thank you for your honest review and very good insights how to make this the best cabin available in the area. The tub upstairs will be througly cleaned and tested. I am sorry for the inconvenience and it will not be a problem in the future.
The cabin has been in good use and while many of the wear items has been replaced or duplicated, it appears that the good set of pans was missing from this visit. To fix this I have new set of pots and pans already for the next guest.
Yes the cabin is over 300' above the main street and while it is easy to walk down, sometimes cab ride is fine coming back up.
