Nice views | Small space | Very early check out.

The view was great and the grounds were fine. The cabin itself was very small though. We were in the "Firefly" cabin which says sleeps 4. I am glad we didn't have a 4th person. I don't know where they would have slept. One double bed in one bedroom and then 2 twins in another room - but one of the twin beds was oddly tucked under the other bed. Definitely not for 4 adults. Maybe one adult and 2 kids? If that. We enjoy cooking and spending time in the cabin itself when we are on vacation but that was pretty hard to achieve given the space. The photos definitely make the place look a lot larger. We were also surprised by the 9AM check out time. I've seen 10AM before at some places, but never 9AM. We felt a tad rushed and really didn't get to spend too much time enjoying morning coffee on the deck because our time was spent cleaning - even though we paid a cleaning fee!! Lastly, we never heard anything from the hosts after we checked in. Not even a thank you for staying. For a 2 night stay that was pretty pricey for what we got, I guess I was expecting a little more. Unimpressed and will not be back unfortunately... They had other cabins on premise, so I cannot say to those ones - this was just the "Firefly".
