Kiser Cabins

Pros: location, very secluded, we had a white tail deer that hung out with us the whole time, tons of privacy, clean shower and toilet, clean kitchen area and full size fridge, large patio, air conditioning and heater worked well.
Cons: DIRTY CARPET (carpets and rentals don’t mix), only one burner worked on the stove top and it took forever to warm up (would not boil water), no oven, the front door was really hard to open, no outdoor lighting or outdoor plugs, very small grill, the fireplace was permanently sealed off with a piece of plywood, no fire pit, refrigerator kind of acted up some of the fruits and vegetables for freezing, dirty curtains around the beds, the cooking utensils were not what i expected… we had to go buy a larger skillet and silverware no coffee pot but a very old microwave that we did not use, make sure you bring TP!
Think of this as if you are camping in a camper or tent… bring everything you would need just keep in mind the plus side of having indoor plumbing and an air conditioner with a heater!
Things we were thankful that we brought:
Grill lights, Solar string lights, radio, extension cord, knife, cutting board, toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, trash bags and towels, sheets, pillows and blankets.
We had a great time and plan on coming back! Literally a Mile away from Turner falls. We just felt like the cabin had a lot of potential that was being neglected. Little things could make it so much nicer.

Kiser Cabins? More like Kiser Shacks. This is a good place to stay if don’t have high expectations of comfort and cleanliness. We went for a family reunion and stayed in cabins 4 and 6, cabin 4 advertises a whirlpool tub– this means that it has an old whirlpool (I would not take a bath in it), and no shower! I would say this is a step and a half above camping (it is under a roof, there is running water with a working water heater, electricity, uncomfortable beds, and a fridge), if you stay here you need to ensure you bring everything with you, this includes your own trash, sheets, towels, soap, and don’t forget a can of Lysol! The location is directly off a highway, and minutes away from Turner Falls. I would consider this more of a party cabin that can sleep many people because after many drinks you won’t care about the lack of cleanliness and it would be hard to trash the place more than it already is. I would not recommend this place for people with small children or that like to touch everything.

The location of this cabin K1 could not have been better. It is inside the Turner Falls Park, and very convenient. Mr. Kaiser was very helpful, and we will definitely be returning.

I agree with Donna just saying the Arbuckle next to the kisser cabins is a wonderful place Judy is such a sweet lady. It’s is a older building but the rooms feel like home! The outside isn’t the prettiest but it’s an old military base.

I don’t have a review of Kiser Cabins but felt I needed to respond to part of Daniel N’s review because he disparaged the «crappy motel next door» and hasn’t even been there. He could not be more wrong. The Arbuckle Mountain Motel is next door to Kiser Cabins but has no connection whatsoever. Arbuckle is an older motel that I admit isn’t that impressive from the outside, but is one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed in and we travel all year for our jobs. The owner, Judy, is a wonderful, Christian lady who takes excellent care of her motel. The rooms are clean, clean, clean and beautifully furnished. We felt like we had a room in someone’s home. The next time we are in the area, we will stay with Judy at Arbuckle Mountain Motel for sure.

This place was terrible. If you look at the pictures on the website and think that is what you are going to get, you are in for quite the surprise.
First off, the place is not secluded whatsoever, it is about a minute off the highway. This is not the place you go to to escape into the wilderness. *There is a crappy motel right next to it, and staying there would probably have been the same.* (This is half our fault for not fully researching it and looking at it on the map, but Kiser’s website does a good job of selling it).
Secondly, the floors were dirty and stained, so was the furniture. The place was actually clean otherwise when we walked in aside from the occasional dead bugs in the plates they provide. Outside is infested with grasshoppers, so get used to them. Stove is old and small (as expected), and the charcoal grill outside is tiny (can probably fit about 4 burgers at a time).
The best thing about the trip was the trip to Turner Falls, but that was about a 15 minute drive or so. Kiser himself was pretty rude and it was also impossible to get a hold of him. You have to call like 15 times before his phone actually receives your call. Then he makes you drive 20 minutes into town off the highway to pickup the key… when the cabin is about 1 minute off the highway. a waste of time and unprofessional in my opinion.
Can’t really say much else, just please don’t come here.

Editing because I had originally stated the motel next door was crappy. Donna R. is correct in pointing out that I did not actually stay there so I misspoke and was just judging it based on the outside.

The purpose of this review isn’t to tell you how bad the place smelled, how dirty the floor is, how gross the furniture is stained of things I’d rather not know, how many dead and alive bugs there are in the place, or how incredibly deceiving the pictures are on the website. Unfortunately, those are all true and I would give this place a negative rating if I could. I’m writing this to tell you how much the owner is probably one of the worst people I ve met in my whole life, and people like him do not deserve anyone s business.
This guy is undoubtedly a racist as he was disrespectful to me and to all of my friends. Rude to me from day 1 of renting the cabin all up until leaving, Mr. Kiser is classless and does not know how to treat other human beings, especially his customers. Red flags should be going off when you speak with him on the phone or if you read how he responds to other peoples reviews (in the yahoo reviews of this place, he releases some girl’s demographic information because she left a bad review). I genuinely feel sorry for him as a person, and I wish him the best of luck to him in life; it’s gonna be a rough road for him ahead.
BTW, if you’re reading this Mr. Kiser and you try to pull anything, I’ve already contacted my lawyer just in case.
