So close, yet it's like you're far away!

Review Submitted: April 19, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2007
I have stayed at the Grand Arbor more than once, and have enjoyed it every time I've been there! It is not too far from Cincinnati, so it's not a bad drive, and it's in close proximity to horseback riding and the quaint town of Metamora (love the boat ride and cute shops!). The cabin itself is gorgeous, and it really forces you to relax with all of it's natural wood, stone fireplace and large windows. It has something to offer in every season. I definitely give The Grand Arbor two thumbs up!!
Owner's Response: We're pleased you like The Grand Arbor and continue to return frequently!

Holiday Retreat

Amy & Jim Cincinnati
Review Submitted: December 29, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
We recentely stayed at The Grand Arbor for a family Chritmas celebration. The cabin was perfectly decorated for the holiday - it was so warm and inviting. It was so nice not to have the typical distrations of home and just to have the peace and time to focus on family. We played games, read books and reconnected by the fire. The kids loved runing out to explore the surronding woods and we all took a trip into town. The "Christmas Walk" in Metamora was so much fun for everyone. This was the highlight of our Christmas vacation.

Nice time

Hasidic One Dayton, Ohio
Review Submitted: April 16, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
My friends and I had a really great weekend at the cabin back in December. Being away from it all, while having all the comforts of a resort just made the weekend fly by. It is so quiet and the sky so clear at night -very romantic w/o any of the usual distractions.

I'd highly recommend the local horseback riding (pack a lunch and eat in the woods). There are lots of trails to expore.
Owner's Response: Horseback riding at The Salt Creek Ranch is very enjoyable and it's only about a mile down the road from The Grand Arbor. If you call in advance, they can usually have the horses all saddled up prior to your arrival if they know your group is coming. That ranch has over 600 acres of wooded riding territory that's just gorgeous any time of the year. Experienced or novice riders are welcome!

One of the greatest benefits about being in the country in a secluded log cabin is that you do find yourself more relaxed, closer to nature and it's defnitely more quiet than city life. We find many of our guests choose to return to The Grand Arbor every year when seeking a getaway vacation that's convenient to the Tri-State area.

somewhat disappointing....

rosem Indianapolis, IN
Review Submitted: April 11, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
I stayed at the Grand Arbor April 4th thru the 6th. We had a very small women's weekend away.
Very briefly: The hot tub did not work. I contacted the caretaker and later had to call the owner to remind her of my complaint. We were all really looking forward to the hot tub working. Karen, (the owner) only offered a 20% discount when I stay a second time. I felt compensation should have been given immediately, as the hot tub was a major, advertised item of the vacation rental.
Karen charged me ahead of time for extra persons, which I did not have. I had to remind her of this in order to get that refunded. I find it interesting that she charges extra before there actually were more than 6 people, and yet, I cannot get a partial refund for the hot tub not working.
I don't mind paying for a nice place. I really resent being nickeled and dimed, and I felt like this was the case here.

Also, we hiked to Metamora which was TOTALLY shut down. Even the public bathrooms were locked shut.

Given that the resort town didn't even have a public bathroom when we hiked there, I think the price for the cabin at this time of year was high.

Maybe summer is different. If you are considering this rental, I would go through everything that is itemized and advertised and make sure you get a guarantee that everything works. Also, discuss refunds if they don't.
I found the carpeting in the master bedroom dirty, and candy was found in the cushions in the living room couch.

The TV is in the master bedroom and EXTREMELY small. The DVD is NOT user friendly, either.

I will not stay here again, I will just forfeit my "20% discount." I feel like Karen was trying to make money on something that was promised by her and not delivered on. I shouldn't have to spend money in order to be compensated for the hot tub not working.
Good Luck!

Owner's Response: This guest had a legitimite complaint about the jacuzzi hot tub not working. We contacted the spa repairman immediately after finding that the heating mechanism had malfunction but he was unable to get there until after her departure unfortunately. As much as we strive to have all appliances functioning 100% for every guest, there are times when repairs are needed and appliances malfunction. In this case the hard water (common in the country) caused a lime scale build up in the ozonator which caused the heater to automatically shut off. We sent a letter of apology to the guest within days after her stay.

The "extra per person" charge that is clearly itemized upfront (in this case weeks prior to the guest's arrival) was never questioned or mentioned until after the stay. A detailed cover letter explaining all charges is consistently sent with all reservations for all guests along with maps, directions and other pieces of helpful information. In this situation, a refund check was promptly sent to the guest after her stay with the letter of apology.

The guest in this case agreed verbally on the telephone that the 20% discount was reasonable and did not request anything additonal. We are sorry to hear about her disappointment and hope that she reconsiders in the future.

Should any potential guest wish to "preview" the property prior to arrival (to inspect appliances, check the jacuzzi, etc)., we can certainly schedule an appointment. We have a guest book full of rave reviews. Many positive comments are recorded from past guests. Some are posted on our website and the rest can be shared by contacting the owner.

Review Submitted: January 16, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
The cabin was very beautiful and we enjoyed staying there. We actually are thinking about coming back with our girls and our friends family in the warmer months to enjoy all that it has to offer. I would highly recommend this location if you want to get away from all the hustle & bustle of the city and stuff and just relax. The stars were never so bright as the last night we were there, it was truly romantic & beautiful.
Owner's Response: Thank you for choosing The Grand Arbor for your getaway. We continue to receive fantastic reviews from many repeat customers and hope you return again soon!
