It was very clean, it had all the kitchen items you needed from dishes to cutting boards. They had extra warm blankets for cold nights if you needed them. We loved the walking distance to the dock - wished we had a boat!! Overall it was a really nice place to stay for the price. ##### Brian G. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jaime L M. 2 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Much needed vacation I booked this property specifically for the amenities that it included. Especially the hot tub which I was excited to use following a surgery I had a few months ago. Once we arrived, on our first day, I opened the hot tub to find that it was an orange brown color, and had not been cared for. I immediately called Riley vacations and informed them of this and they sent someone out while we were away from the home. Therefore we didn’t get the first days use of the hot tub and the second day the hot tub was still cold. I was extremely disappointed by this. The management company only offered me $100 due to this. The hot tub was not cared for prior to our arrival. I’m not sure that it wouldn’t be the same for another guest. Therefore, I would suggest booking another property and not using Riley vacations. ##### Jaime L M. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lauren H. 5 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### A Christmas at the Cabin Our family spent Christmas Week at Campfire Cottage and absolutely adored it! Overall, we had the most wonderful stay. The kitchen was very well stocked with all essentials plus some - a huge plus for us bc we eat all our meals in. I actually brought a few kitchen accessories that aren't standard in condos but this place already had them! The King Bed upstairs was Incredibly Comfortable and the pillows were better than my own home pillows! Exemplary beds! All of the places you'd expect to be clean were clean but there were lots of cobwebs in places that indicated it hadn't had a Deep clean in a while. Not a big deal. Our only 2 disappointments had to do with arriving surprisingly early when we didn't hit holiday traffic but being told we'd be charged $89 to check in 2hrs early, no exceptions, not even for Christmas, despite the rental manager confirming the home was vacant & ready. So we had to unload our things on the front porch and come back in order to pick up a Christmas Tree. Our other disappointment was when we tried to get into the Hot Tub the first full day of our trip, only to jump in and notice a strong ammonia smell and a rim of scum at the water line indicating it hadn't been cleaned or shocked in a while. We filled out the "How's your Stay"email that came from the rental company, understanding it was Christmas Eve and asking to be called the day After Christmas but never were, so we didn't get to use the hot tub all week. Still a great week in total! ##### Lauren H.

Hot tub needed new filters/cleaning (management was very responsive) and there was a lot of dirt under the living room rug/couch, but overall a nice stay.
