We did not stay. Kitchen & bathroom were visibly dirty & the house smelled. We were scheduled to stay 4 nights. We found 3 towels. I’m not sure the bedding was washed. One set of sheets were split up on 2 beds. The entire property has had no maintenance for quite a while.

We enjoyed our stay! The owner was very responsive to my inquiries on VRBO. The views from the cabin were stunning and the lake was accessible for our kayaks with the dock. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay and providing us with a great and relaxing family weekend!
