Cabin is cute and we had a nice weekend. 3 stars is because we were looking forward to the wood stove in the bedroom and it was not operational even though we stayed here in February. The shower was a little rough. Shower curtains on both sides cling to you the whole time you’re in the shower. Also, Vacasa Rentals is who you have to communicate with regarding your booking, and you will get nothing but AI generated responses from them. Overall, cute cabin and good location.

Very cool place! Everything is just as it says in description. Very comfy cozy. Very clean and private. My only suggestion would be to install a tub/shower unit. I know the claw foot tub is nestolgic, but its not really practical. Overall we loved the place. The road leading into property REALLY needs work!
