The place was pretty clean, it’s cold out but they had some very good heat, nice hot tub really enjoy that, the one complaint was the refrigerator.

Only 1 downfall- there was plastic on all of the beds. I totally understand,but did not enjoy sleeping on plastic. Other than that, stay here! It was great! ##### Lisa C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Leonard A. 9 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Not a cabin. First off...not a "cabin" as advertised. Its a Villa surrounded by several other Villas. Spacious, yes. Accommodations advertised..absolutely not. Jacuzzi tub broken but still has power running to it, slidng doors do not lock, a board was used to prevent entry. Bloodstains on curtains, stains on bedding and bed skirt, mold around entry doors, food and other debris next to refrigerator and stove, 2nd floor balcony rotting and falling apart. Various lighting throughout non functional. Smoke detectors beeping from low batteries. Netflix worked day 1 and then was blocked from it. Wifi not easily accessible. Bed had a plastic cover under the sheets making very uncomfortable, bed bug protector was shredded and in pieces and offered no protection. Headboards free standing from wall and not attached to bed frame. Dining and barstool chairs dangerously loose or broken. Several loose or broken cabinet doors and handles throughout. Bent or broken bedroom/bathroom doors throughout that did not stay open or would not close properly. Nest cameras in use but not advertised? Couldnt see them but bluetooth reader showed 3 active camers. Property owners live out of state, so whoever they have for housekeeping and maintenanc, they are paying too much. Nickles used as spacer to help latch sliding doors..they still didnt lock. This was a bad experience all the way around. sr ##### Leonard A.
