Mountainside Cabin along The Cabot Trail #1

Mountainside Cabin along The Cabot Trail #1

8/10 Good
"Thankful for the illuminated by the side of the road sign, or else it would've been very hard finding this place after dark in the mountainous roads on the Cabot trail. Cellular access is very poor in these areas, so make sure you get the instructions (lock box code) etc before you leave. I had to scramble to find the owner's phone and call him, thankfully he picked up and got me in ok. Room is very clean and brightly lit. Sofa bed served its role for my kid. Main bed in separate room was nice. Washroom was very clean and bright. Wireless was nice and fast. Oven worked well for a late night snack. Toaster worked for a simple breakfast. The only annoyance was the smoke alarm went nuts (and not from smoke!) and I was instructed by the owner to basically disconnect it from the power. Thankfully I am handy, or else the smoke alarm would've been chirping all night and driving the entire family nuts."
