Not as described
The waterfront was described as “swimmable” with use of kayak and canoe. The waterfront is actually dangerous for these activities.The waterfront is nothing but large slippery boulders. You could easily fall or twist an ankle. The canoe ramp is also too slippery to use safely. The cabin can’t be seen from the area where we had to park the car which was on a slanted area with boulders and tree roots in front of a horse stable. From there, we had to walk approx 50 yds downhill over a hiking trail type path (also over boulders and tree roots) to unload the car. There is no way to park near the cabin to unload.
Then there was the condition of the cabin. I realize it is old and rustic, but it smelled very musty and heavily of urine. The screens to the doors and windows are very dirty and dusty. The windows do not close well. Rugs have obviously served former guests’ dogs as pee pads. The vacuum cleaner doesn’t work very well.
There was a very stained rag hanging on the towel rack over the bathroom sink. The bathmat was dirty and smelled sour.
The mattress was not very comfortable and I actually felt a few springs pop while sitting in bed reading.
There were no paper towels and no toilet paper in the bathroom. I did find some TP in a cabinet over the fridge. Outside doors don’t lock well and grill is in rough shape. The view and sunsets are beautiful, kitchen was clean, but the property really was not what was described and we were very disappointed.
