The cleanliness part could increase by a lot. My baby is crawling and I could not let her do that freely because the floor had hair (pet and human) and other little trash specially in the rug area. Not very visible but also not hard to remove with a regular vacuum. The dishes were not washed thoroughly, I had to wash them before use. There is a coffee maker but not coffee. The towels were clean, but smelled like there being put away for a while. The heater works too slow, we were freezing and the cabin never got to the temperature we wanted. The worst part to me was, when I was going to put my baby in bed, when I open the bed covers, the bed sheets were not neatly placed, it almost look like someone else was laying in the bed before we even got there. This did concerned me so I made the bed myself to make sure the bed sheets were actually clean. It seem okay so I let my family rest since it was late and we were tired from the road. Anyway, I think housekeeping improvement needed!
