Disliked: Cleanliness
Cute cabin but the thermostat was inoperable when arrived, the heater in the master bedroom was inoperable and full of dryer sheets. The master bedroom smelled of urin. The management sent us a space heater for the master bedroom but we had to deal with the urin smell the entire time. Won't be back for the price we paid.
