No heat not clean
The cabin was not clean. We wanted to light a fire, but the fireplace was full of soot. All the furniture was run down and handles missing from drawers. There was dust on the tv ad the ceiling fans and mold in the bathroom. The bathroom tub did not drain. The wifi was horrible and kept going out. The heater did not work in the unit. It was 29 degrees that night. The dinky space heaters dod nothing, could not feel the heat. Cabin #2. The unit next to was was attached and they were partying and drinking until 2am. I would not recommend this property again. It needs a re-model and cabin #2 needs attention to detail with cleaning.

The cabin was clean but smelled. Fireplace chimney needs to be sweeped. Build up in chimney forced some smoke into cabin. Managers cabin not labeled well. When I called the number on website no one answered..only a voice message that said the cabins were closed due to a fire! Emailed owner and they never replied. Had a last minute urgent meeting and manager called owner to authorize cancelation of 2nd night. Owner punted to Expedia. He agreed but Expedia website said no refunds. Two ships passing in the night. I was screwed out of 2nd night. Emailed owner via Expedia and they ignored me. I do not recommend this locale.

We found this property at a great price after looking around expedia. Read some reviews and thought they were ok, maybe a bit mixed. Finidng the place was pretty simple. Checking in was interesting. I walked around the cottages to find the "office". On the door was a number for 24/7 check in. I called it and the lady answered and asked if i was here. She opened the door and told us to come inside. I assume that was her living space/office. We walked in and it was a bit weird being in there, but whatever. She gave us the wifi password and the room door combo. Parking was nice and easy as there were spots designated for everyone. #2 was our cottage. Inside the room smelled like smoke due to the fireplace. After making a fire ourselves both nights, smoke filled the room(yes the port was open inside the fireplace), so the chiminey probably wasnt cleaned out on the inside and the windows had to be opened to help ventilate. The room was clean overall and very cozy. No worries about being cold overnight. The bed was super comfy as well as the couch. The lady brought us extra towels as well. There was a hair dryer, towels and shampoos. All the kitchen appliances and utencils as well as plates and cups were a plus. We had to clean some forks and cups as they were still a bit dirty. There was also leftover ice cream in the freezer from a stay before. The tv channels were plentiful as there were lots of free app options and movies. She hung up on me during check out, so we left at 1030.

Well. First of all, I stayed here for 3 nights during the week. The week I was there happened to be the same time there was a level two evacuation warning for the area the cabins were in. They neglected to tell me anything about this or say anything about the helicopters flying back and forth through the night. A little intimidating. However, how could they say anything when they were nowhere to be found. Ever. Only upon check in or check out did anyone appear, should I have needed anything at all I would have been hard pressed to get help. Ants. There is a SERIOUS ant issue in the cabin. I found one of the entry points at the 1inch gap between the floor and the baseboard. Where the floor has obviously had some serious water damage since the entire floor in this area says and is a little sketchy to walk on. The ants were relentless even without any real reason to come in. The kitchen lacks simple things like hand or dish towels, a clean sponge or dish soap, a cutting board as well. There was a VERY well used old spong on the sink and a soap dispenser full of hand soap though. No thanks. Just be prepared to wash your dishes with these things if you don't buy your own because there is even a letter to the guests telling you to wash your dishes and take all the trash out to their "dumpster". Where there was trash scattered all around the back of the property all the way across the street and into the lot adjacent. If you've never lived where there are bears then you
