There was a very unpleasant smell through the whole downstairs. Need to say we spent most of our time away was not happy with smell. The upstairs shower rod was not placed right and when was in use it fell and hit me. Other than that sleeping was good.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about the unpleasant odor downstairs and that it affected your ability to fully enjoy your time at the cabin. We’re also concerned to hear that the upstairs shower rod fell during use and apologize for the experience. We appreciate you bringing both items to our attention so they can be addressed with our team. We’re glad you were comfortable during the evenings, but certainly understand your disappointment with the issues you encountered during your stay.
