We would stay at the place again; however, they have very few towels, cutlery (2 towels, 2 forks, 2 spoons) and the messages actually look automated in such a way that they are very friendly but do not resolve any requests. It would be courteous of you to describe that you have to bring your own items for a more pleasant stay. There is no flexibility in check-in and check-out times and looking at previous reviews, no effort is shown to resolve repeated guest observations either. The reply to this message will most likely also be very friendly but with no intention of resolving. Other than that, everything is very nice and the place is very pleasant.

This was a nice little open-room style cabin. Nice for a couple. Not a lot of privacy. Roomy deck. Fairly close to downtown.
