Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The cabin was very clean, it looked just as it was advertised. The bathroom sink became clogged, Thomas had maintenance there within 24 hours. Views of the lake were fantastic. Great fishing off the dock. The external queen size bedroom with shower was very nice, and had a 4 cup coffee maker. Cabin had plenty of extra pillows, blankets, linens and towels. Kitchen was very well stocked with pans and cooking utensils, lots of paper towels, there were dishwasher pods and laundry pods. FYI - cabin was pet friendly, but VRBO description did not inform of a 30 daily charge for a pet.Overall, a great stay!
