Aesthetically, it’s a beautiful log cabin and the interior photos match the experience. The master bedroom is also lovely. The host was also responsive about our concerns though no resolution came to light.
When we arrived we could hear a dog barking on the property and as we opened the gate marked “no trespassing” we could see the dog standing on the picnic table that it was chained up to. There was a car with both windows open just inside the gate and as we rounded the driveway there were 3 additional vehicles (in various states of disrepair. It sure seemed like someone was already occupying the cabin..
Walking in the front door we were greeted by a sour fragrance, which could only be described as stale urine. I quickly found the source of the smell as I went down the spiral staircase.
There are security cameras all over the exterior of the house (which were not mentioned anywhere in the listing). There are also scores of motion sensor lights placed randomly around the property.. There’s a pile of said junk adjacent to cabin, where you’d expect to park. There are at least 4 old torn up box springs/mattresses leaning against the side of the cabin. We contacted the host about the dog and they did remove it quickly. Unfortunately, the owner brought the dog back while we were sleeping during the morning that we checked out.
This is not the worst place I have stayed. It just wasn’t the place that we were expecting based on the listing. I recommend that the listing be updated
