Let me start by saying the online pics of the interior in this listing are not what you will find when you walk into this rather run-down cabin. The interior is cluttered with way too much furniture, knickknacks literally everywhere, 4 deer heads hanging from the walls instead of the one shown in the pics, cabinets full of previous renter’s leftover food, the kitchen refrigerator had an open wine bottle and jars of open condiments, the second refrigerator and washer/dryer located downstairs were surrounded by piles of trash and covered in mold. And there were flies…everywhere!
I complained to the owner on our second day about the dirty carpets in the master bedroom and the flies. Turns out, the owner was very aware of the fly problem “The flies are in every house in the area. We have tried everything to get rid of them.” she replied. Well, thanks for sharing that. I messaged the owner on our 4th day, “I've got to say, based on the online reviews and pics, we really didn't expect to walk into something like this." I asked the owner again to send over a cleaner.
The owner’s housekeeper finally stopped by on our 8th day to vacuum flies, shampoo the carpet, and hang some flypaper. She also dropped off some vacuum bags. I cleaned out their plugged and filthy vacuum and replaced the bag so we could at least continue to sweep up the flies we were constantly killing. I placed more flypaper on the upper windowsills and ended up trapping well over 100 flies and other insects over the next couple of days. Once the carpet dried, it looked stained and dirty again.
When it was nice out the views from the decks were great, but when it rained our views were from inside the cabin through very dirty windows with our fly companions marching back and forth across the glass. No fun.
Based on my experience I do not consider this cabin to be a “premier” listing. All trash should be removed and it should have a through cleaning before the next renters show up. Plus, it really needs a lot of fixing up. At a minimum the owners should post new pictures to make sure people know what the current condition of the cabin is.
