Took my best friend for a girls trip for her birthday. Unfortunately, the cabin was not as expected. It was nice, but needed attention. Cleanliness was not good. Found a washer full of wet towels and a dryer full of wet sheets, but we took care of them. Fairly sure one of the beds was not remade from the previous guests. I looked under the kitchen sink and there was a mess, old, moldy beach towel, lots of empty plastic bags, and a dead mouse in a glue trap. I understand when you’re in the woods you will have an occasional rodent, but this guy was decomposing. Clearly this area had not been cleaned in a while. Every bit of bedding smelled musty. After getting things cleaned up, it was raining so we decided to light the fireplace and watch some TV. Fireplace would not light. Television remotes all had dead batteries. I ended up downloading one to my phone so we could operate the TV.
On the positive, the host Andrea was very responsive and tried to assist the best she could. She even offered to bring batteries but the weather was bad and I told her it was not necessary. I did asked for the cleaning fee to be refunded and she made that happen.
As a side note, the house appears to be a short distance from the main road; however it is not. The road was steep in places and only one lane. Because of the weather there were some washouts. I had an SUV so we managed, but just wanted folks to be aware. I wouldn’t drive it at night. Won’t stay here again.
