I booked this cabin based on the amazing photos on the site. Turns out it’s like online dating when the person puts up a profile picture that is highly filtered to make them look much better than they actually look. I also should have taken note that there was only one review.
The cabin was cute and quaint upon first walk around but after we settled in we realized how dirty it was. It looked like the carpets had not been vacuumed recently, the hardwood floors were dirty and stained in places with what looked to be dog pee. It is a pet friendly rental so if you have allergies, beware. I let the host know that the floors were very dirty and there was a lot of debris and hair. She sent the cleaner over to vacuum and mop for us. This was appreciated but also super frustrating considering the cleaning fee is $160! Not to mention the cleaning they require the guests to do (wash & put away all dishes, take trash out, strip all beds). Also the bath mats were filthy, old and matted and super gross. Like they’d never been washed. For what they charge for this place, they need to invest in some new linens and bedding. When I booked it, again, based on the photos, I didn’t really pay attention to the fees. The rate was $185/night but with all the fees it was over $300/night. I still booked because the photos made it look amazing.
The cabin has some essentials as far as the kitchen goes but you’re best to bring anything you think you might need. The trash bags provided were dollar store thin so I’d suggest bringing your own.
Once we settled in, we opened the doors to get some fresh air. I started to smell cigarette smoke and thought maybe someone outside was smoking. Much to our dismay, the smell got stronger as the day went on, even when we shut the doors. Neither of us smoke and in fact it’s one of the smells that I cannot stand. The cabin says it’s a non smoking cabin but my sensitive nostrils could smell nothing but that cigarette smell the whole time we were there. It made my throat and chest hurt.
Needless to say, we couldn’t wait to check out. We felt dirty when we left. Even the blankets on the beds seemed dirty. (Again, maybe just old and stained and need to be replaced). We left the place much cleaner than we found it. Overall it would have been fine if we were just using it to sleep but we actually hung out there and the longer we were there the more disappointed we were. Especially considering we paid over $300/night.
