The Positive
The cabin is quiet, serene, and perfect for relaxation. It was clean, well-equipped, and communication with the owner was prompt and friendly. The complimentary bottle of wine was a thoughtful touch, and the hot tub was a great feature for unwinding.
The Areas for Improvement
The cabin was cold upon arrival (62°F) and took hours to warm up, with the master bedroom remaining significantly cooler. The owner provided a space heater, but the HVAC system needs improvement. The hot tub lacked proper anti-foam treatment, leading to excessive foam by midweek, and the outdoor gas fireplace stopped working after a day and a half.
The Concerns
The security camera on the back porch, seemingly overlooking the hot tub, raised privacy concerns. While cameras were disclosed, their placement wasn’t specified. Additionally, the lack of curtains in the living and kitchen areas made the cabin feel exposed, despite the low-traffic location.
