Our cabin was clean along with the bedding. Richie our host was very nice and made himself available to us, when we checked in and any questions we may have had. This cabin is rustic but the view of the lake is very nice. The front porch we didn’t use, it needs some work. The toilet leaked so the bathroom floor was wet after several flushes. We booked this for two nights and ended up staying only one night.

It's all relative......If you are looking for a rustic place to stay that is a step up from camping - it's a good choice. Great view, has an A/C unit that does cool down the place. BUT if you are thinking it's a quaint cabin along the lake - it's a no. Doors and windows don't shut properly, bathroom toilet leaks, shower curtain is gross and water goes all over the floor, and finishes throughout are very poor quality.

Really enjoyed the quietness of the home. Maybe a couple of cheap plastic stemless wineglasses. There wasn't even a cork screw to open a bottle of wine. I bought one and left it for others to use. Those are my only minor complaints.

Sorry you weren't able to find a corkscrew for your wine bottle, they do indeed get lost easily with everyone coming and going. I do keep extra items on hand, it's one of the advantages of living onsite.

Think of this place as staying in a camping cabin except with comfortable beds, a sink, stove and bathroom with a shower. Very rustic but comfortable camping!

This was a basic cabin, just as advertised. Everything was just as expected and the views of the lake were marvelous in the morning.
