July 2025

We were disappointed by the lack of towels, washcloths and dishtowels. The towels that were there were Rattie and were very old. Downstairs had a dank smell and after running the dehumidifier, was better. The outbuildings described were quite a walk. we did bring water for coffee and drinking because previous reviews stated rusty water pressure in sinks was very low, however showers had pressure. Carpet was in dire need of cleaning, very dirty and spotted. The good parts: new decking on main deck, however the stairs and lower deck were closed off due to rotting of deck boards. new patio furniture was nice. Beds were comfortable. We had a nice time though. We saw wildlife which was great! Probably would not rent again; sorry.

The cabin was great - rustic, of course. A couple problems w/cleanliness - two beds hadn't had the sheets changed (used the washer/dryer that was available) and a few dishes were put away not completely clean even though the dishwasher did a great job. The hot tub was not available and the Gazebo had mouse droppings. The dock also needs work along with the back stairs. No AC wasn't a problem because there are plenty of windows for a steady breeze. Rained all one day but there were plenty of games to play. Fire pit area was great but, because of the rain, we didn't use it. Sauna was also great. Overall, a good experience and, if they make the few improvements, we would go again.

Space is nice, could use some up keep and cleaning. Didn't expect the strong iron in the water. Enjoyed the scenery and wildlife.
