I've stayed here before and had no problems. This year the cabin seems to have gone downhill 😕 the fridge was so dirty and smelt foul the cabin itself was dirty. Also there is a huge mice problem to the point you can hear them all night. I saw at least 7, there's mouse droppings all over kitchen so I did not use the kitchen.
