Overall the cabin is cute and cozy.
Great location, great property for playing in the snow with little kids. There are age related issues with the property, some of the wall paneling is coming off, some holes in the wall down by the floor, cold openings that let in cold drafts in the kitchen. But overall it's cozy and fun and if these were the only issues, we would stay again in a heartbeat.
But the most disappointing issues were the overall maintenance of the property and one pretty disgusting and disturbing cleaning experience.
Upon arrival driveway was covered with big patches of thick ice. Our cars could not safely park, they would slide. No shovel was left, no Ice Melt. We had to call to have a shovel delivered as well as Ice Melt and we spent half a day breaking apart thick ice just so we could park our cars in the driveway. And this was not shoveling fluffy snow, this was proper ice, 3-4 inches thick at some places.
Also, there was trash left all over the outside of the cabin. Four empty jugs of Ice Melt just strewn about the front porch and walkway, three broken sleds (probably left by previous guests), and just pieces of litter.
The blinds inside the cabin are stained and pretty gross.
And, when we tried to use the vacuum it literally smelled like feces. The air that blew out of the vacuum was absolutely foul and smelled like there was poop left inside. Also, what very well may have been poop was on the floor after I turned the vacuum off. I didn't inspect it further because it was totally disgusted and I was afraid of what I would find. Luckily I brought Clorox wipes to clean up but it was so disgusting. I wouldn't recommend this property for that experience alone.
Overall the cabin is cute but really needs some general repairs and upkeep. It's clear that the cleaners that work on the inside of the cabin do a good job but whoever is in charge of upkeep/trash on the outside of the house is doing a pretty poor job. The property management company needs to do a much, much better job.
A couple additional little bits of advice... you will need to bring EVERYTHING needed for cooking food. Bring salt and pepper, oil, EVERYTHING. Some vacation rentals have some basics for guests to use, this property does not, they do have pots and pans but no basic cooking necessities. Also, bring your own drying racks for wet snow clothes. There are two available to use but both are broken.
