Overall a mediocre experience. We loved the location in the woods and near Dupont Forest, very quiet and beautiful. The kitchen is well equipped and the paneling in the cabin really adds to its ambience.
However, the WIFI is severely lacking. It's impossible to watch any streaming TV. Since Cell Coverage is spotty, WIFI phone calls constantly break up or fail.
Additionally, the cabin is cooled with portable floor a/c units and dehumidifiers. This makes it annoyingly loud if these are running while your at home.
The negatives outweigh the positives, so we will not be rebooking this property in the future.
