8/10 Good
"This spot was almost perfect! Clean, pet friendly, easy communication, a bookshelf of old books from the 1920s, rocking chairs on the deck, and a great location not far from town. The only reason I didn’t give this stay five stars is because there are no bear bins outside. So, the large trash has to stay inside, and though the host offers to take out the trash, it can get smelly."
