Nice place, that needs maintenance. Refrigerator door has a sprung hinge so it may or may not stay closed. Stained glass door to deck has no doorknob. Shower doors are off the tracks. Needs an exterminator because stink bugs are everywhere, falling on the bed, crawling on the TVs, even had one fall in my hair at the bathroom sink. The drain stoppers in the bathrooms are both broken. At the prices charged, this was a disappointment.

The cabin itself was amazing in cleanliness and accuracy of online description. The only reason I would not stay again is because of the drive through the neighborhood up to the cabin and the driveway.
