Review Summary

The area in Grouse Valley was beautiful and the cabins have so much potential. Unfortunately there were a few issues that could be easily remedied to make the experience better. The deck around the cabin is in need of repair, especially in the rear as it sagged heavily under the weight of a person. Also most window screens had holes in them or were missing and made it difficult to open them to let cool air in. Inside the cabin there were rodent droppings EVERYWHERE. There is a rodent issue that needs to be addressed (which probably caused the holes in the screens). Lastly, upon arriving to the cabins there were trash cans full of rotting trash from the previous tenants. This also most likely made the rodent issue worse as there were clear signs of animals going through the trash.
