The 2nd floor bath proved problematic. Climbing 13 steep steps wasn't fun. We would rate this cabin as "adequate" but certainly not as finished and furnished as others we have rented. The Wi-Fi only ran the TV - no internet connect for cell phones. The road up to the cabin is very slippery after a rain so care should be taken to go slow and stay centered on the road bed. We used neither the hot tub or the outdoor cooking gear, so no comments there. Would we return? Probably not.

As a host I just say Wow and shake my head in disbelief we have over 300 review and is rated as exceptional,and what bother me the most if she had just reviewed the listing it says the bathroom and bedroom is upstairs there is plainly a pic of steps they are not steep a normal set of stairs and far as the wifi we were having storms and cloudiness and it messed up the box but I instantly contacted technical support and they were going to work on it. As for that is pretty much out of my control, but they knew this prior to arriving and said that was perfectly fine And then they turned around and slammed me on a review And getting back to the driveway that they mentioned is in the listing as well. It's a gravel driveway. It's not slick no one ever seems to have a problem to get up this driveway. If you would just take the time to read The past reviews and The listing everyone would be happier Thanks!

I actually checked out early because the house smelled terribly. Upstairs smelled like cat pee and mothballs. Downstairs smelled like overkill of air fresheners trying to cover up something. The hot tub was the reason we chose this cabin and it was filthy. There was algae or mold inside the skimmer area and the water was cloudy. I reached out about the filth of the hot tub and the owner of the property did come over very quickly and clean it. We were not there at the time, but when we came back and checked it, it was still cloudy and you could not see the bottom of the hot tub. The skimmer area still had algae on it. It basically just smelled like chemicals. The hot tub was not fit for use unless I wanted to gamble with getting sick. The cabin has air-conditioning units, which is fine, until one of them is facing the shower curtain liner and blowing it in the entire time you’re in the shower. I would not recommend this place.

As A premier host you can look at my past reviews we have 305 reviews, 9.6 rating please look at my past rating before you decide not to rent from us. We understand your point you get here in a middle of a rain storms/ flooding one of the worsed we have had in several years, and it's going to rain through your whole trip. you had brought your jet ski wanting to hit the lake , but unfortunately we can't control the weather we can't refund your money to things that are out of our control. Let's address the review first air conditioner blowing on the shower curtain just had to adjust the louvers and blow at another direction. 2nd we do not have any moth balls in the cabin nor do we allow cats just dogs only. Now the hot tub when she arrived she called I immediately responded when I got there they had hit the economy mode and it was not circulating so once I fix that issue I did clean the hot tub which did not need cleaned at all. It was a little cloudy but I did tell her if she would just had waited an hour it would clear right up and you could still see to the bottom of it before I even cleaned it which I really didn't do much to it. I just adjusted the chemicals and they did not smell strong. The next time that I heard from her she had already checked out of the cabin without even notifying me if she would have done so. I would have ran right back over there and fix this issue even if I had to redrain it but she left. Thanks for for reading this.
