Spacious home, great location

Overall no issues. Plenty of space for our large group. Only problem was in the listing, it advertised an additonal queen bed in one of the down stairs bed rooms, however it had been replaced by 2 twins. That was slightly disappointing since that extra queen was a big draw for us and meant one of the adults had to squeeze into a twin. Really just a simple listing correction. Had a great stay and would stay again

Good location to town, good amount of room, just in need of some tlc

The home does not have a fireplace even though the link provided in the checkin email states it does as well as the welcome binder in the house. The downstairs is freezing since the only thermostat is upstairs. The master bedroom doesn’t have blinds or curtains so it is very bright in the morning and unable to sleep in. All of the towels were damp when we arrived so we had to take them all down and dry them. The kitchen table was still dirty so we had to clean that when we arrived. None of the leaves were sweeper off of the decking which was dangerous hazard causing the steps to be very slick so we had to take care of that as well. The hot tub was not working properly but the owner quickly responded to help us troubleshoot the issue unfortunately took it a day to warm up once we figured it out. The vacuum doesn’t work so we were unable to vacuum up the rug while we were there. The garage door is broken, the assembly has come off the wall. There isn’t a good view but it is very close to town which was helpful. The place provided many kitchen utensils which was nice.

We had an excellent time at the cabin. It was minutes away from the town we visit each year and very cozy. We had plenty of room for our party of 13 people.
