I wouldn't recommend staying at this AirBNB

"Wait, what was that?" My friends and I were following our hosts daughter into the one hundred year old cabin on their property. Our hosts were adamant that we not go into the cabin, but when their daughter asked if we wanted to check it out we weren't going to say no.
I mean, we should have, but we were all too curious to pay heed to the hosts wishes.
"Oh it was nothing, keep moving! keep moving!" this came from the girl currently leading us through the small cabin. My friend went ahead of me, following the girl towards the back of the cabin. It was dark, only the lantern the girl carried illuminating the way. I stayed back for a moment to get my bearings, but quickly followed behind my friends when I thought I heard a voice beside me.
Who is this pretty thing?
"Did you hear that?" My friends looked back at me as I spoke, but shook their head in the negative, they had not heard the same thing I had.
"Come on, Come on!!" The voice was coming from the only other room in the cabin. We stumbled towards the light and crammed into the already small space.
"Do you want to hear the story of this cabin?" We all eagerly nodded our head, chills running down our spine from the hushed whisper of the girls voice.
Don't Listen To Her! This time the voice I heard was hurried, almost panicked. I looked around the room but saw no one else. I looked at my friends and none of them seemed to hear the voice.
".... He had just married the cobbler's daughter and built this cabin for her. Shortly after they moved in, she fell ill. The doctor was sent for, but he arrived too late. The lady died of unknown causes. One minute she was well, the next she was gone. It devastated the man, and he refused his beloved a proper burial. He spent weeks couped up in this cabin with his wife's body decaying on their bare mattress. A month later he was dead."
Chills ran through me at the girls words. I was equal parts sad for the couple, and scared. None of us spoke for a few moments, each of us digesting the story.
"Were you related to them?" This came from my friend's boyfriend who was standing to my right.
Leave!
This time the voice was so forceful that even my friends reacted, though moments later I realized they still had not heard the words.
"What was that?" We looked towards the girl but she was no longer standing there. A moment later the door of the cabin opened, letting in the light of day. It blinded us for a few moments, tears forming in our eyes as we blinked.
"What are you all doing in here? I told you not to come in here!" Our hosts looked more relieved than angry as they ushered us back towards their house.
"Your daughter led us out here. We're sorry, the curiosity just got the best of us."
The temperature seemed to drop a few degrees when our host said "We don't have a daughter."
---
Then I woke up
.... but not before looking around the cabin and realizing that while at night it was empty and barren, during the day it was fitted with semi-modern amenities.

It was equal parts scary and interesting. My mind kept looking at the history of the place.

It was creepy! Even in my sleep I realized that, but I kept going anyway. There was more emphasis on the things in the room, but I could articulate them so well so I just mentioned it at the end.

Yeah, skip that B N B. I was watching the movie Hush before I went to sleep, where a deaf woman in a lonely cabin is being taunted by a psychotic killer who killed her neighbor. It's good, I saw it once before. Weird, I can watch things like that and sleep like a baby afterwards.

I think I saw that one on netflix. She's on the phone with her sister, right? She's an author and she recently moved to the area?

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes, that's the one. Alot of the horror or psychological terror movies on Netflix aren't that great. This was an exception. The Ritual and the Babbadook are good also.

@snowy22315 I don't have netflix anymore. A few years ago those movies were decent, though there were a few horrible ones mixed inbetween.

That wasn't even really the half of it. There were some parts that were hard for me to articulate so I just left them out.

@Bensen32 I swear it's not anything I'm eating! The last thing I ate before bed was a spoonful of Halo Top Banana Cream Icecream.
Pretty sure that would give me sweet dreams.

That's awesome. You have a talent for writing. I know it's a dream but some can not write it out like you did.

@JordanLader True, I may still try to write that part out. I've been working on my writing anyway. I try to write for atleast an hour everyday.

Thank You! I'm a little frustrated because there is part of it that I couldn't really articulate so i had to leave it out. It was one of those things that make sense in our dreams, but not in reality.

@ScribbledAdNauseum You should still have tried. I bet it probably would have turned out decent. Sometimes dreams don't make sense but that can make them interesting. Maybe it would have made some sense to you written out. It doesn't have to make sense to everyone, just you.

While reading the first few paragraphs i really thought this was a real scene that it's like a "story time" kind of discussion. But glad that this was all a dream. I wouldn't dare to be in that kind of situation though. That's crazy. thanks for sharing! very interesting... and very well written.

It was, but it was also really interesting. I wanted to learn more about the history behind the cabin.
