Jan 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy Cabin We were so pleased with your stay at A-Frame-of-Mind! It was easy to check in and well-stocked (toiletries, dishwasher detergent pods, etc.) We had a minor problem when we opened the dishwasher, it was flooded and not usable. However someone was out within minutes to fix it for us! We really enjoyed the hot tub and cozy hidden escape! ##### Katherine B.
