The cabin was just as pictured - charming, spacious, and spotless. All of the basic supplies were stocked along with thoughtful items like binoculars to see wildlife in the yard or by the creek. The host was very quick to reply to questions. It was the perfect little getaway for us.
Great place! Really loved it, but the wood stove was locked and can't be used :(

Guest did not follow house rules or checkout instructions. While dishes were washed, many were left out on the counter and in the dish drainer instead of being put away. Garbage cans were not emptied. Four of the five beds were used, but only one was stripped. A towel was left outside by the hot tub, and the heat was not turned back down at checkout.
Additionally, the home was left in a condition requiring a heavy clean. Furniture and items were moved throughout the house, and there were noticeable handprints, footprints, and dirt left on multiple surfaces and areas.
Doors were locked upon departure, but overall checkout instructions were largely not followed. Due to the condition the home was left in and the additional cleaning required, we would not host this guest again.
