However no windows in the tiny lounge which was disappointing, hence no view. Just one set of windows in the bedroom. ##### Kevin B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Simon Jan 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, communication For what we paid I thought this was pretty average. No view. A long way away from town. The stairs are a pain and the kitchen is tiny and not user friendly. I always find not been able to have personal contact with the owner/property manager - also basic things like no coffee table or dining table or coffee plunger. It was not cheap but to be fair was similar in terms of size and what offered it was not too different from a good Top 10 cabin. Still comfortable but over priced ##### Simon Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leeare T.
