Cabin fireplace did not work. No internet. Washer was broke bc of a belt broken so we could not use. Igniter for the grill did not work. Cabin very hard to find. Pictures on the website are larger than what the Cabin was. Very disappointed.
Especially with the cost of the rental and so many things not working!
Hi Virginia, thanks for letting us know about your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they would like to share the following:
-The guests encountered challenges in locating the cabin and subsequently reached out to us for assistance. They had attempted to rely on GPS for navigation, despite the clear indication in the driving directions that were provided to them via email that GPS may not lead them directly to the cabin.
-Additionally, the guests inquired about the Wifi connection and requested the password, which we promptly provided. It is important to note that the internet was functioning properly, as was the fireplace. On occasion, the pilot light may need to be relit, and instructions for doing so can be found in the Welcome Book. Alternatively, they were encouraged to contact us should they encounter any difficulties, and we would have been glad to dispatch someone to address the issue.
-Unfortunately, the guests did not inform us of their ongoing inability to connect to the internet or their difficulties in operating the fireplace. Additionally, the washing machine was reported as non-functional by our cleaner before the guests' arrival. Given the short notice and the cabin's quick turnaround between guests, it was exceedingly challenging to arrange for either a repair or a new machine to be delivered on the same day. We have since acquired a replacement washer following their stay.
Our commitment to all our guests is to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests as evidenced in all other reviews.

Cabin was everything we could have imagined and more. It was the perfect size for just the two of us.
