Zips Place Cabin

A tent would be cleaner and more cozy than eating and sleeping in this cabin. The windows were very dirty and there were bugs of all kinds everywhere---alive and dead. The previous occupant left a note on the kitchen counter that they had had mice on the counter, so we did not use the kitchen area or sink at all. We brought our own water and disposable plates, and stayed out of the kitchen except for using the fridge to keep our water cold. The furniture is old and dirty, and without blinds on the bedroom windows, we had to improvise covering them with blankets for the night.

The only thing that was redeeming during our stay was being able to walk around the area with the small creek nearby. Having the gate locked so one can't drive the vehicle up closer to the cabin leads to many trips back and forth taking gear, bedding, and food into the cabin and really seemed like a needless hindrance. Overall, it just wasn't fun or pleasant. We know a lot about camping and being out in the toolies, and usually enjoy that very much---but just being around so much dirt and dust renting this cabin wasn't a good situation we would care to repeat. A decent tent or camper in the woods would bring more cleanliness and satisfaction.
