Clean and has basically everything you could need. The cabin was very welcoming and the A/C is great ..downstairs has no ac though just fyi. Location you can hear and see hwy 4 thats only location complaint but it’s not a big deal at all. I would recommend darker curtains for the livingroom area since they is totally see through and does not keep the sun out and better quality kitchen pan and pots. If you plan to cook alot I would bring your own. Biggest complaint (not a negative involving the cabin) is upon arrival my mom was able to pick up the keys with just my name and they got to the cabin about 25 minutes before I arrived and once I got there I realized it was a total different cabin than the one I rented. We had to jam back to the realty office before they closed and was told that yes we were given the wrong keys and were then given the correct keys and address. So that was very concerning essentially being in someone else’s cabin that we had no business being in for those 40 minutes or so. Definitely would recommend though regardless! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer J. Jul 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### July 4th Getaway We really enjoyed a last minute booking at Ponderosa Paddle. We have friends that own and we came up for three nights. Kids enjoyed the games downstairs and the deck was great for dining. Also nice to have Blue Lake Springs amenities available which we used. Pet friendly is a must for us so that was great to bring our dog. Would stay again! ##### Jennifer J. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Claudia V. Feb 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Weekend Getaway Cute and cozy cabin. The 9nly down side is that they have an old electrical panel. Within 15 minutes of checking in the power was out except the living room and dining area. Property management was called and they sent someone out immediately. We were told that sometimes the electrical panel trips. Little did we know that we would have to reset it every hour or two, including all through the night so everyone would have heat. ##### Claudia V.
