Lake Isabel Cabin

Nothing wrong with the cabin or experience that we had. The cabin was clean but the only thing that was bad were all the dead flys on window sills but we wiped them up. The Cabin has adequate heating so leave them space heaters home! The cabin has enough cooking utensils, pots, pans, and dishes so you don’t have to worry about that. Would be wise to bring paper plates or plastic wear. There is cleaning supplies under the sink but I would recommend bringing disinfectant wipes. There is some bedding so bring more. Enough firewood, for one day was supplied so we had to get more but again, it’s not necessary because of the adequate heating. The only things we needed more of were toilet paper, trash bags, firewood and soap for bathroom and kitchen. Lots of fun things to do around the area and places to see but we just wanted to get away from the city.
Tip for using the fireplace: if it gets too Smokey and the smoke starts coming into the cabin close the glass doors on the fireplace ALMOST completely, like 3/4 the way, so the fire will suck the air through that opening and the smoke will go up the chimney

There are improvements made in the cabin. There is new vinyl flooring in the kitchen and bathroom. There is a new toilet. Everything is in working order. We visit this cabin a couple times a year and have been going for about 5 years. It has seen some decline since then. I do not believe there is a dedicated cleaning person and the last couple years have been rough in that department. This trip however, the cabin was clean. We were quite happy with the condition of the cabin and there was also firewood which is always appreciated. I haven't written a review for this place before, but I wanted people to know that if you've been here in the past and were a little let down, try again. The price is still unbeatable and it is fun and beautiful.

I have stayed at this cabin many times as I love the beauty of the outdoors at this facility. The last few times, I literally have become the cleaning lady, not at all what I had planned. With all due respect, I should not have to arrive and have to clean out the refrigerator because it is so dirty, I don't want to put my food in it. Additionally, I have to mop and sweep the floors, because that has not been done. During our last visit back in early June, the toilet was plugged and we had to wait for two days for it to be repaired. It is unfortunate that I can't enjoy the first few days that we arrive, because I am always cleaning somebody's mess. I have always left the cabin and all appliances, bedding and floors clean, I would expect the same courtesy.

Wood pile not restocked, screen door missing, inside locks not working, refrigerator door wouldn’t stay closed, bathroom floor wet from leaky toilet, dead flies everywhere, flue stuck or clogged so fireplace couldn’t be used anyway without smoke filling the room, sheets and towels were left behind, minimal silverware, no scrubbie for dishes & dishsoap almost gone. Overall cleanliness was very poor. I don’t know when the floors got mopped last or the tub scrubbed. It felt like some man’s rustic hunting lodge instead of a place to get away from it all and relax while enjoying the fire.
This was my third visit so I know how it’s been maintained in the past. Needless to say we were very disappointed and probably won’t be returning in the future.
This is a beautiful place and it should be treated alot better than it has been. Hopefully someone will look into this soon.
