We loved the property. Nice quiet location. Only downfall to the stay was we weren’t expecting the one bedroom to be separate from the main part of the house. It still worked perfectly for what we needed. ##### Em W. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Phyllis B. 14 Sept 2025 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in Needs maintenance. Large bedroom upstairs had plumbing issues. Lights on rear steps didn’t work. Outside power outlets not working. Loose and rough boards on decking including protruding nails. Dishwasher good for sanitizing only. Hot tub wouldn’t heat. Trash cans are not bear proof - yes, I mean bears. Dishes in cabinets were not cleaned well. ##### Phyllis B.
