Comfortable and nice

Nice location, comfortable bed and pillows. Uncomfortable table and chairs in dinette, almost unusable and rickety. The porch was nice but unswept and messy. Cabin was clean-ish but not clean enough for guests .Dirty rug in kitchen, dirty soap dispenser in bathroom, hardly any towels. 1 single towel in the kitchen. Fridge and appliances were nice, coffee maker had a cream container with a solid block inside, unusable. You could really up your game with a professional cleaning service and more towels better toilet paper and at least some paper towels in the kitchen.. Otherwise nice, not luxury by any means b
