We had a group of four couples. We had plenty of space to hang out inside and outside. The cabin is decorated very nicely. We loved the hot tub and lights around the fire pit. We look forward to staying here again

.Although we appreciated the responsiveness of the host , most of the time they couldn’t provide assistance regarding basic questions such as kitchen appliances available , delivery services , etc The cabin was as pictured , however the pictures are very outdated , furniture throughout needs to be replaced , sofas are peeling , dining table and chairs full of scratches and stains , bathroom Cabinets missing handles as well as cabinets on the bedrooms . Carpets had urine stains , Kitchen countertops were dirty , dirty mugs were put away , dirty cooking utensils and placemats were in a pile at floor level right next to the trash cans . Remote for downstairs fireplace was nowhere to be found , we had to push to have someone sent over to look for it or turn it on as it was -10 degrees and management reply was “ should be by the fireplace “. Overall not as expected .
