Overall Rating: 3.8/5.0
We had two families with 4 adults and 4 children spend a three day holiday weekend in this comfortable two story, three bedroom cabin. Initial reservation for two nights and three people, property manager able to extend stay and increase party size no problem. Property manager responds quickly and offers direct cell#.
Initial impression was positive. There is a cabin within close proximity, though the layout of this rental offers views and activities that are out of the way of the other property to the extent that you do not see or hear them.
Evident that surfaces and counters had been cleaned. Minor noticeable dirt (pine needles and dust) from prior to our stay under tables and around living room though. As initial renter, would have expected a slightly cleaner living room/kitchen floor. Also surprised to find that the BBQ had not been cleaned. Contacted property manager and she admitted the oversight and apologized for the inconvenience.
There is an item of note that is NOT DISCLOSED in the description until receiving your welcome packet, and another that we were not informed of until recognizing ourselves and inquiring about.
The more bothersome of the two was that the French Doors pictured leading out to large deck and rear staircase do not open. After inquiring about a key, we were informed they are intentionally deadbolted to restrict use. Reportedly waiting for door adjustment parts, however in my opinion, that should have been something taken care of prior to listing and is a major downgrade not having the direct access to sitting deck and having to walk around to connecting deck from front door. More concerning is that it can be considered a fire hazard in event there are no other accessible means of egress.
You are informed also to dispose of trash yourself in the welcome packet. We were able to leave our minimal amount for property manager to dispose of afterwards. If you have multiple day stay and several bags, you will need to factor that in.
Bedrooms were nice, comfortable, and all had a bunk bed per room (6 mattresses total and a futon upstairs).
Yard was enjoyable for kids with a teeter totter, tree house, and a tetherball.
Overall our stay was relaxing and enjoyable but there are some noticeable imperfections as noted above and room for some improvements that I would expect the property manager to note, consider, and remedy.
We would recommend for families of five to eight people.
