Basic amenities didn't match cost
The location, on the lake, was lovely, though it sat up on a hill, not directly on the water. There was a sweet path that wound down the hill, through the woods to access the lake.
We splurged a bit to get this rental, compared to other local properties, so our expectations were admittedly high. Sadly, we found the property somewhat lacking. As there was no cell or wifi, we had hoped for better quality of games and movies as an alternative.
There was a tremendous amount of thick dog hair that was blowing around when we aired out the cabin, and lots of dust, dog hair, dead bugs and spiderwebs throughout . I imagine it must be difficult to keep a log cabin clean, but again, the price point...
The mattress was very firm, so much so that it hurt my 8 month post-operative hip to lie on it. We decided to put extra blankets under the bottom sheet, but they all smelled like dog. We washed them, but couldn't dry them because the dryer was broken. There was an outdoor clothesline on a pully next to the deck, but it was stuck, and too high to reach from the ground. Also, no bleach to wash the kitchen towels that smelled of mildew.
There were lots of rules for the property, but no outdoor garbage bin, "required" for check out procedure. Little outdoor seating, NO beach chairs or seating at the water, no flyswatter, and watch out for the soft spot in the deck.
Lovely location, but the cleanliness & missing items didn't make this as relaxing a spot as we had hoped.
