Donnelly Cabin w/ Fast WiFi, Close to Lake Cascade

Kathryn- I’m glad to hear you enjoyed your visit. I'm surprised to hear you didn't notice the a/c unit in the central area. It is quiet, but it is hard to miss a 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner, especially since we left it at a cool temperature and running for you just prior to your arrival. The remote temperature monitoring system shows that the cabin didn’t rise above 72 degrees, even though it was 97 outside during one of the days you stayed. Maintenance timed the refill on the master bathroom toilet and it consistently took just under 3 minutes to refill, which is slower than the guest bathroom toilet, but certainly not 15 minutes. The toilet valve was replaced in May and it didn’t help it speed up. We were advised by the plumber that the cost to upgrade the plumbing to that toilet would not be worth what would be gained. We also tested the oven with a digital thermostat and noticed that once the temperature reached 350, it stayed consistent (+/- 5 degrees) over the course of an hour. The cabin has a standard electric oven, and is relatively straightforward to use. Perhaps you were using the timer mode, but we could not find any problems with it. Lastly, regarding the firepit- it is in the middle-rear of the back lawn surrounded by 2 feet of brick pavers. The surrounding lawn is watered frequently (nightly at this time of the year). We don’t maintain the neighbor’s property, but some common sense is expected. A huge bon fire would be unwise. The diameter and size of the fire pit would lend a reasonable person to understand that a bonfire would not be appropriate. If guests use the fire pit, it is their duty to be fire-wise and responsible. I realize this response is mostly for future guests, so they understand the truth about this beautiful cabin. Sincerely, Jonathan
