Mountain cabin without a mountain view.
Cabin was in good shape with furniture that looks nice but was not comfortable. Cabin was cleaned from the last renters but weeks ago. So had a lot of dust and the porches was nasty and the grill need replaced. No wash cloths. Listed a washer and dryer but not ether. Fire ring need some redoing, needs some rocks not mud. Cabin have some good, but need a lot improvement.
