PROS:
Excellent communication with the property management!
Check-in and out was quick and easy.
Loved the location. A little hard to find at first, and the directions they gave us from the check-in location to the cabin were incorrect, but once we found Foster Lake Rd., it was a breeze.
LOVED the layout of the cabin. Unique and spacious, yet cozy. Perfect for 10 people. We were all very comfortable.
Our ages ranged from 3 to 50 years old and we all loved partaking in the game room amenities and Smart TVs.
The record player and record collection were a nice touch. Even the 20somethings loved listening to the Doors and Eagles albums.
AWESOME views from the balcony and patio. So peaceful and quiet outside!
Woodwork and wood accents throughout the cabin are gorgeous.
Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed.
Loved that there was a small market close by in case we needed food or supplies.
CONS:
Disrepair issues: Broken blinds, loose toilet seats, peeling paint and torn shower curtain in downstairs restroom (and shower curtain wasn’t waterproof), BBQ grill table is wobbly, torn patio cushions, broken oven door (bottom left door), worn carpet on stairs.
Cleaning issues: Cabin was tidy, but once we settled in we noticed dusty furniture and ledges, caked-on grease splatters on kitchen windows above stove, cobwebs in corners, windows & glass doors heading out to the patio needed to be cleaned/squeegeed, a leaf blower to porch and patio would have been nice, some ceiling light fixtures had dead bugs in them. Some of these issues could be alleviated by having a good bi-monthly deep cleaning.
Only a bottle of Windex was provided. No disinfecting cleaners for kitchen or restrooms, nor Pledge to clean the wood tables or wood accents.
Outside BBQ grill (small silver one) has no grease catch tray, so grease leaks onto the table when you use it. Also, one propane tank didn’t work.
Overall, we all had such an amazing time and created great family memories here! We’d definitely love to stay here again and would highly recommend it to others if the disrepair and cleaning issues are tended to.
RECOMMENDATIONS IF YOU PLAN TO STAY HERE:
Sleep masks (There’s no curtains/blinds in certain rooms), Keurig machine if that’s your jam, cleaning supplies, about 6 nightlights for those late night bathroom/kitchen runs, a metal grill spatula for grill outside, and at least one good knife for cutting food (the kitchen knives they had were very dull).
