Had a good time, but had to do some light housekeeping when I got there, especially the bathtub. Cabin also needed to be aired out, very musty.

Really cool cabin in the middle of no where. No AC but has heat, stove, fridge, shower, hot water, all the basics. Great place to get away for a weekend. Note: there's a mile or two of gravel road with potholes - don't bring a sports car that's low to the ground. Also the lock box with the key is by the front door

I do not believe you want to post this publicly.
When we arrived at the Farnsworth Cabin on October 23rd we found conditions were not satisfactory. The whole living room area had a lot of dirt and debris on the floor. There was also a bag of lunch meat sitting on the top of the sofa. The kitchen sink was dirty as was the toilet. We had to spend a significant amount of time that first day cleaning the cabin including purchasing supplies to clean the toilet. There were brooms and vacuums so we could clean things up in the living room and we had brought our own kitchen supplies. The bathroom sink stopped up immediately upon use and could not be improved with the plunger so was backed up the whole time we were there. Apparently no one had reported that problem with the sink.
I spoke with Laurie about the situation and she was trying to determine what had occurred for things to be in that condition. She encouraged me to request a partial refund because of the condition of the cabin and what we had to do to make it satisfactory before we could make us of what is a lovely space. We would like to request a refund of 1 days rental in consideration of what occured.

Wifi was basically dial up and the beds sucked. Spent the weekend on the couch to save my poor back. So why the 5 star? Because it's beautiful, the cabin is cozy and the nature around you should have your attention more than your phone. Shout out to advil for my back tho

This was our families third time staying at the cabin over the past five years. We love the location and how much privacy we had through out the week. We have always enjoyed hiking the trails and our kids enjoy playing in the creek.
This year’s trip to the Farnsworth cabin was a little bit of a let down. We arrived there three hours after check in and there was still people there. Once we entered the cabin the floors we soaking wet from being mopped and the whole building smelled of bleach so strongly that we had to leave all of the doors open until dark. The next morning I woke up with a migraine from the fumes and the floors were still damp. It was very humid in there which didn’t help with the floors drying. The beds have been the same beds for the past five years which are terrible. We brought a mattress topper this year but even with that it was difficult to get a good nights sleep. The satellite cable was not working at all which was something our kids we’re looking forward to watching in the evening and early morning. As we do not have cable at home and it is stated that the cabin has satellite tv. I also went to use the microwave in the kitchen and it was sparking and smoking. I immediately unplugged it and let the cleaners know about it.
In the past we have really enjoyed our stay there and we were able to over look small issues. But there is definitely some updates that need to be done to allow a more pleasant stay.
