We stay at this cabin every year and normally love it. This year we had a few hiccups. The wood is new which caused a lot of smoke. None of the wood is chopped so you have to chop it before you can use it and they also had horrible axes this year. (Bring your own) That was the only hiccups we had. Love the fridge and the stove! Great little cabin!
