It is a nice location. But the house needs a lot of work. And people need to take responsibility for cleaning up their mess. Too many dirty utensils.

Such a lovely place to stay. The fenced yard was perfect for the dogs, lots of space indoors, and all the amenities necessary. The fireplace wasn’t working quite right so we had to air out the cabin and stop using it. But there is central heat and it wasn’t an issue. Warning for winter visitors - there is no snow shovel, so make sure you bring one if snow is in the forecast.

This cabin is in need of repair. When I was there the wood stove pipe was broken near the top where it went into the wall. It was leaking smoke into the living space making the whole cabin smokey. One of the electric heaters was broken. The rear steps appear to have migrated down hill from my cement foundation. There was no wood in the wood shed good thing we brought our own but could not have a fire due to stove pipe. A window was broken in the living room. When we arrived there was smoldering news paper and pine needles in the wood stove. Positive items include the propane heating system working awesome. The restroom was awesome nice to have a shower and running water. The area is nice. Nice trees.
