The location is wonderful! We went for a lake weekend and getting to and from the lake was quick and easy. There was plenty of space to hang out in and it was comfortable. However, there was little/no freezer space in either freezer and limited fridge space due to owner’s food. It was relatively clean, but a lot of areas that weren’t kept clean. The grill did not work. Paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, and hand soap were in limited supply.

Not clean

The cabin is nice and cozy but it was not clean. Showered hadn’t been cleaned in awhile. Bathroom floors not swept or cleaned. Had to wipe everything down before we used it. Refrigerator was full of expired food and needed to be cleaned. Not happy about paying a cleaning fee when we had to clean before using.
