Cabin is in a good location, close to town. Plenty of room, exceptionally clean interior and exterior. Fun chairs overlooking the river. Very impressed! Completely furnished - all you need for a relaxing location surrounded by the tall trees swaying in the wind.
Very cute and quaint little cabin in an area that we absolutely love. The cabin itself has a lot of charm, and we really enjoyed the location.Our biggest concern, however, was the cleanliness. We completely understand that being in the mountains means cobwebs can appear quickly, but there were quite a few throughout the cabin, and many looked as though they had been there for some time. When we first entered, there was noticeable dirt, dust, and hair on the floors. I ended up finding the broom, sweeping the floors, and knocking down the cobwebs myself. There was also a fairly heavy layer of dust on several surfaces.Another concern was the bedding. The sheets did not feel freshly cleaned, as we could feel what seemed like dirt or sand in them, which made us uncomfortable.One other thing future guests may want to be aware of is the layout of the cabin. If you have any mobility concerns, difficulty with steps, or are particularly tall, this may not be the best fit. There are frequent step-ups and step-downs when moving from room to room, which could be challenging for someone with limited mobility. The ceilings are also quite low in some areas, particularly in the bathroom and shower, so taller guests may find those spaces uncomfortable.Overall, we really liked the charm of the cabin and love this area. With some additional attention to cleanliness, it could be a wonderful place to stay.
The cabin is small and it only has one bathroom, but it’s location is key. You’re very close to town and to most restaurants and local entertainment. There were two things I wasn’t crazy about: the full bed in the smaller room was a very uncomfortable and cheap bed; and there weren’t many throw-downs or comforters for everyone to warm up.
