Would have given this place 5 stars and amazing reviews; however, there was a horrible smell that we are certain was a dead mouse/rat. Maintenance tried to find the source and provided room spray, but this didnt help. Location was perfect.

Pictures of property made it look more spacious than it actually is. All amenities are provided and thoughtfully arranged in a “cozy” space, and they even provided a special spot for our dog. Although well-maintained, this is an older property with squeaky floors and a bedroom door (to outside) that won’t quite shut.

This is a hard review, the original house we booked was horrible, something dead was in or under the house, they tried to coverup smell with pine sol, the bedroom door doesn't close all the way so a gap at bottom of door. We contacted the rental agency upon arrival and they immediately put us in another rental which was wonderful, so 5 stars to the agency for accommodating us and 5 stars to the second rental home but 1 star to this poor little historic home that really needs some TLC.

Cute Historic Cabin

We enjoyed our stay! The cabin has the necessary basics and was a perfect location to walk to restaurants and the dog park. The last day there was a bit of a sewage smell that was pretty foul. We let the property manager know, of course. Kids had a great time exploring the snow covered boulders behind the cabin. Overall good stay!
