Despite the fact that we paid for a full week, we left three days early. As another reviewer
the cabin is in need of a very thorough cleaning, and also maintenance.
First the positive. The cabin has a nice outward appearance, is secluded, and surrounded by towering pine trees. It is very beautiful outside the cabin.
First, getting to the cabin is difficult and very time-consuming. There are windy dirt roads that have many deep gullies on them. You must slow to about 5 mph, and it literally takes about 30 min to get to town.
Once inside, we encountered a dirty cabin. There were cobwebs and corners of the kitchen., multiple dead bugs in the overhead lights in the kitchen, food wrappers and other
debris in the cushions in the couch, a couple weeks worth of ash in the. The worst item
was the dining table cloth, which had a brown/gray dirt pattern all the way around entire
dining room table. It looked as though it had never been washed. Most disgusting,
is that it was right at the height of the faces and mouths of our three and four-year-old
kids that were at the cabin, were putting their hands and faces on the dirt soiled edge of the
tablecloth. We wanted to wash it, however, the owners put a sign over the washer and dryer
expressly prohibiting renters from using them.
There is only one bathroom on the main floor, and it has a toilet that seem like is only about 10 inches high. Because it was so low, some of the senior people in our party had a lot of difficulty getting up after using the toilet, so they had to walk up the stairs to use the other bathroom.
When I informed the owner (by e-mail) that we had vacated early because it was dirty, he immediately called me. I did not ask for a refund at all, but the owner was apologetic and indicated he would refund three days of the rent. To this day, (two months later), the owner has not refunded that money, nor has he responded to an e-mail. Honestly, I do not really care about the three days rent, I only mention it to inform potential renters that the owner did not follow through on a commitment he made.
there are several other reviewers who have given five star reviews. In fact, I relied upon them in selecting his cabin among the many options available. But i can only share our experience. I can tell you that I caught a lot of flak from the adults in my immediate and extended family for the selection of this cabin. While other people may have enjoyed this cabin, I would not return even if it were free.
