First, the good stuff:
Perfect size cabin for our family of four.
Very comfy beds. Good size jacuzzi. Good size fridge/freezer. Having washer/dryer was a plus. So was having the upright fans since the cabin got very hot very quickly. Overall, it is a nice place to stay in, and the location was perfect.
The not-so-good stuff:
Cabin did not smell clean. It smelled and felt stuffy. Closet next to boiler smelled like a wet dog; had to spray Lysol all throughout. Cabinet doors over stove were sticky with grease. Some of the cutlery (and kitchen shears) had food stuck on them. Kitchen needs better lighting as well as bigger pots. No measuring cups for liquids. No blender available. One of the TV remotes didn’t work. Called property management and they sent someone over to fix the remote and did provide us with a blender so we were happy about that. However, there were still other issues with the cabin such as dust on the furniture, and the linens which didn’t smell freshly laundered. Don’t get me wrong, they didn’t smell bad, but they didn’t smell clean either.
I ended up cleaning the greasy cabinets, washing all the cutlery, and laundering the sheets. I also cleaned the table/chairs that were outside on the deck as they were covered in dust. Of course I gladly did this for my personal peace of mind, but don’t believe I should have had to do any of it for the hefty price of $300+ per night that I was charged.
The Five Pines Cabin is a very cute/comfy place, but it needs to be better taken care of. All these issues are easily fixed by having cleaning personnel pay more attention to detail.
I am willing to give this cabin another chance in the near future. Hopefully these issues will be resolved by then.
