My girlfriend and I showed up around 5pm, looking forward to the weekend. When we arrived, we realized that the cabin is actually close to the highway. From the back yard, you can hear the traffic going by. As you enter, you travel down a dirt road and go past the owners residence. There is debris and car parts and junk everywhere as you pass. Then you go further down the road to the cabin.

When we got there I recognized the mildew smell mentioned in the other review. It wasn’t overpowering, and I couldn’t smell it after we lit a fire.

The hot tub wasn’t hot so I called the owner. I never saw or spoke to Annie. Tom showed up smelling like a brewery, and said he would crank up the hot tub. We waited a couple of hours but it was never hot enough to sit in the rain in the tub. I call again in the morning and Tom came down again to look at the problem. We had a trip planned to the redwoods and thought it would definitely be hot when we got back. It wasn’t. It was raining by the way, and if there are any smokers out there, you might want to know that there is no covered area outside. Not even a patio umbrella. Well, to sum it up, the hot tub never got hot. There are no instructions to the hot tub; you have to rely on the owner to change the temp for you.

I called the owner and left a message that I was expecting a partial refund, since the hot tub was never used, and I was hoping it to be the highlight of the weekend. I never received a response.

FYI: There are little to no condiments or spices. Not even salt and pepper.

The wood stove was difficult to start, burned through the wood quickly.

The cabin was freezing when we walked in, and it took a few hours to get comfortable.

I was very disappointed by the lack of attention paid to us by the owners. I tolerated the hot tub not working, and didn’t even get a response when I asked for a partial refund.

Won’t do that again!
