super cute little cabin, nicer than expected, but could DEFINITELY benefit from a very thorough deep clean. the common areas like the counters and floors are kept well maintained by the guests but places like the hood over the stove are just coated in dead bugs. but besides that I loved staying here and will definitely come back.

The cabin was not as clean as we would like. It also could use more silverware and upgraded pans.
