Disliked: Cleanliness
Filthy
The cabin was filthy and needed deep cleaning. In detail: There were cobwebs hanging places that were obviously many years old. The floor had not been cleaned within for 4" of the wall for years. It is an old rustic cabin which was expect. On day two the rental company called us to check in on our stay. I told them this. They said they recently took on the property for renting but had not seen it yet. They offered me a discount on a future rental. I said that was a nothing they should offer some type of discount on this rental. She said she would check on that. They have not contacted me. Ultimately, we left after two of the three nights that we paid for and found a clean hotel to stay in. I am not one to bother leaving negative reviews but others should not repeat our experience.
