The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great cabin. Rooms were spacious with many amenities. The master suite has a private balcony. Everything was new and in good shape. The outside deck chairs were in great shape. The bar area with the TV downstairs was awesome. We also enjoyed the fact that the downstairs was fenced in for the dogs.We do have several suggestions :Upstairs bedroom- the bed should be on the opposite wall of the tv. The fenced area downstairs should have a wide enough gate to allow vehicles to park under the cabin. We brought a jeep. We had the top off the whole time. To avoid the rain, it would be valuable to park under cover. Thank you for providing the cargo lift. That definitely made arrival and departure so much easier.Thanks for the say. We would fo it again !! ##### Paul R.
