This was the second year that I have come here and it was great the first year. This year the owner added extra days to my stay outside of the VRBO platform and tried charging egregious cleaning fees for a strained comforter that was stained prior to my arrival. The use of foreign customer service is probably the problem and the lack of understanding due to the language barrier. In order to face cost, often times quality is sacrficed. I would not recommend this place.

We had a wonderful time at this cabin! It was exactly as described—peaceful, relaxing, and the perfect escape.
