Jul 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy If this cabin were 300 a night, it would have gotten 5 stars. But for almost 1000/night, the value just isn't there. Everything inside was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, there were a bunch of games in the cabinet, and the backyard was gorgeous. However, the cabin itself is nowhere near as nice and polished as other places in that price range. The screen doors were broken making it impossible to enjoy some fresh air without a house full of bugs, the faucet in the upstairs shower didn't work making it unusable, with 4 adults taking showers in the one working bathroom the hot water ran out, the cabin is probably on well water so the flow in the shower was incredibly low, and the air conditioning is not zoned correctly so the bottom floor is too cold, the middle floor is just right, and the top floor is too hot. The host was very responsive to these concerns but really these issues should have been caught in an inspection prior to our arrival, so clearly one was not performed. A 1000/night rental shouldn't have any issues whatsoever. ##### Leon A. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josh V.
