Cabin was fine but needs a thorough deep cleaning and attention. Upon checkin (at 4:00 …code will not unlock door until 4:00) deck was full of leaves and acorns. Dishwasher rack broken so hand washed dishes, only a dish dry towel was provided for the kitchen. Water pressure is extremely low as noted in checkin book. Bedroom lamp absent light bulb and no replacements. Cabin is on a very narrow 1 way loop with 5 other similar cabins. We were closer to end so we could hear a good bit of road noise. Trash can was full when we checked in Monday and should have been picked up Tuesday(according to book) and we rolled it to road edge, but it was never emptied. Yard guys came and blew off deck on Thursday before our Friday morning checkout. Roof is aluminum and acorns from trees sound like gunshots ….all night. It is a cute cabin, private, great soft mattress, and host was quick to respond when dishwasher was reported broken. I would say a lot to consider before booking. For the cost of rental and all add on charges, a better experience was expected.
