Jun 26, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### renovated 1950 weekender Whilst the cabin was reasonably presented it was hard to warm. There were two heaters : one was unserviceable and the Dimplex struggled. I investigated and found the inlet duct under the unit was clogged with lint and dust . After cleaning the power chord cooled and we relaxed. The microwave needed cleaning and there were no microwave safe containers to use it anyway. ##### John M.
