Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Location
I booked two nights but left after one.
THE GOOD
- Cabin is nicely decorated, visually very nice and it definitely has a cabin vibe.
- Solid kitchen and bathroom, appliances seem new, has a couple of cozy rocking chairs.
THE BAD
- Accessibility is poor - there is no maintained road to the cabin. What used to be the road taking you to the cabin has been eaten away by erosion. They'll tell you 4-wheel drive is required when in reality you'll need a vehicle with off-road capabilities and high ground clearance. This is not your average bumpy cabin road, it has 1ft deep crevices throughout the road. Neighbors were ripping the road up and down in lifted trucks so apparently they don't care about maintaining it. You can park on top of the hill and walk down but it's a long way to carry all your belongings.
- The cabin is cold and drafty. No insulation. There's one nice wood burning stove that does heat up the place partially, but it's not enough to heat up the whole place. The main bed and kitchen downstairs remain cold when burning the stove. The stove does not retain heat so at night you'll stay up adding wood, or you'll get cold. The cabin has two small radiators that the host will ask you to use sparingly or not at all.
- Ladder to upstairs loft is very home made and flimsy. Not safe for children or older guests.
- It seems remote but you'll have neighbors on every side. Some windows are looking directly at the neighbors house and yard, others are facing the road where people are passing by and staring at you.
