Little twig was absolutely as advertised! Property was Clean, check-in was a breeze, and the communication with the host was fantastic. We had one minor issue with the stove, we contacted housekeeping, and they were at the cabin within five minutes! Nothing wrong with the stove, we just weren’t sure how to use the oven, but the housekeeping crew member who showed up was very friendly, and was quick to answer our questions. We would definitely go back to this property again, look forward to staying there in the future!!!
