This cabin was good and hit all of the basics. Great views, good layout, and overall a pretty average cabin experience. The property needs to be cleaned for sure and there are some maintenance issues with the cabin but mostly minor. The host were easy to reach and overall we enjoyed our stay. Here are some pros and cons
Pros:
-View was great. Especially from the top loft bedroom. Nice to wake up and look out over the valley
-Bed was great. I slept great and I'm usually pretty uncomfortable in these cabin beds.
-Easy to get to. It might seem a little out of the way but it is only 15 min from town and a pretty easy drive after the first mile or so of steep driveway
-Trail. There is a somewhat hidden fire-break road/trail across the road which follows the road up the mountain. It was a nice place to do a quick walk to get some exercise if you need.
Cons
- Trash. The property was littered with trash - especially on the hill under the back deck. The view is great as long as you don't look down and see the numerous bags of trash, egg cartons, etc down there. There is also old chairs, and misc old items around the back of the cabin.
-Minor maintenance issues. Cabin was very clean but just needs some minor TLC. Doorknobs coming off (back door), upstairs bathroom knob, hottub cover needed replacing as it was literally falling apart, windows needed cleaning, etc.
- No fire pit. Maybe there are fire restrictions in the area but be aware there is no place for a outdoor fire for marshmallows,etc. My kid was very disappointed.
Again, none of those cons were huge deals but just something to be aware of .
