Well Appointed
This is the most well-appointed vacation rental I have ever stayed in by a long shot. Not only are there multiple activities at the cabin (canoeing, biking, peddle-boating, horseshoes), but each activity is backed up by all the gear needed. There are life jackets for the boats, horseshoes for the pits, helmets and a tire pump for the bikes, tons of outdoor furniture, and even plenty of firewood for the fire pit. One cabinet has a decent collection of DVDs, all alphabetized and numbered. There was a smoke detector beeping when we arrived, and I even found a drawer of spare batteries. The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, utensils and serving wear. There were plenty of clean towels and extra bedding, all labeled by the bed it went to.
Problems
The roof on this cabin is partially an old tin roof and partially corrugated plastic like you see used on a greenhouse. The roof had clearly been leaking recently, and parts of the ceiling and light fixtures were falling down. There is only one interior door and the only bathroom is off the other bedroom, so anyone sleeping outside of the bedroom with the door is in a traffic pattern. The cabin was very cold the night we arrived, and the three space heaters were not adequate to keep the place warm other than the bedroom with the door. Luckily there were plenty of blankets!
This place is advertised as kid friendly, but I would not trust children under 6 on the deck. The railings have no slats at all, and the drop approaches 20 feet on the downhill side. I wouldn’t even want a rambunctious 6 year old on the deck.
We enjoyed our thanksgiving week at the cabin, but next time we hope to stay someplace where the roof is in good shape.
