We were very pleased with our stay. The cabin was very clean and our communication with the host prior to the stay was excellent, as he responded very quickly to any questions we had. He also allowed us to check in early on the day we were traveling to the cabin, but our schedule did not allow for that. We very much recommend these accommodations.

The property could be a great place for a mountain getaway. The host has taken great effort to make the place acomodating with lots of towels, bath and cleaning products, pots, pans, utensils, ECT. The furniture and bed are comfortable with lots of pillows. But unfortunately our experience was not good on this particular visit. We experienced large black ants in every room and a scorpion next to the hot tub outside. My wife doesn't like bugs of any kind and we felt unsettled trying to sleep wondering where ants might be crawling. We realize the house is in the woods which certainly can be a challenge with pests, but hopefully after a good extermination it will be back to the charming escape that I'm sure has served many travelers well throughout the years.
