As I shared with the owner after our stay, When we arrived, there were dirty dishes in cabinets (milk crust in cups, dried cheese in cheese grater, crumbs in bowls in cabinets) and surfaces were grimy and not cleaned. As far the bedrooms, there were chips under the sheets in the master bedroom, a toe nail on floor in the other main floor bedroom, and dirt in each of the showers. I know this cabin is cheaper than a lot of the homes in the area and the no frills and basic amenities is not an issue. What we do expect, is that we arrive to a sufficiently cleaned house. We spent the first day cleaning dishes, surfaces, and sheets ourselves so that we were comfortable enough cooking, eating, and sleeping. everyone expect cleanliness. Half of the guests (4 people) departed early because they were just too uncomfortable with finding evidence of lack of cleaning and just could t relax on their vacation.
Aside from the cleaning, we did have to spend time looking for toilet paper for all but one bathroom (we found 4 roles in a closet in the basement), find garbage bags (None of the trash cans had bags in them) and had to re wash towels since they were left in the laundry in a pile still damp and musty smelling. The cabin itself was what we expected in terms of amenities, furniture, location, etc. which was more than adequate for what we were looking for but we were disappointed in how much we had to do before our vacation weekend for some R&R.
