• We were prepared for there to be no A/C but even with the fans the cabin was stuffy and the lack of windows that could be opened to create some air flow was an issue and what few windows could be opened had torn screens, meaning that they could not be opened without having insects come into the cabin. The cabin was much warmer and much more humid than the outside, even with the available doors and windows open.
• There was a clump of hair in the bath plug when we first went to use the shower on the main floor.
• There was mildew in the shower of the bathroom on the main floor.
• The kitchen / main floor trash can was smelly and dirty with a greasy residue under the lid and removable top portion. The empty wooden holder was dirty and smelled.
• The dishwasher was dirty and clogged. It did not fully drain correctly and did not clean the dishes correctly. We had to hand-wash dishes before we used them
• There were cobwebs everywhere in the main floor sitting room – on the skis, above the windows, for example - and spiderwebs inside the windows of the bedrooms on the main floor. There was a dirty, old cigarette butt just inside the door leading to the deck.
• The deck furniture was old, tired and broken. One Adirondack chair had broken slats. The bench table had a broken slat and rotten wood.
• There was insufficient lighting in the cabin. The few lamps that were in the bedrooms were dirty and dusty and provided insufficient light for the rooms. The lights had cobwebs on them
• The fans were dirty. Not only were the fan blades covered in grime, they had cobwebs on them and the screens in front of the blades were covered in dust.
• The description of the property said ‘lake access with canoe’ – where was the canoe? The only canoes we saw by the lake were locked up and require rental.
• The grill on the deck was very dirty – it was full of damp ash that had not been emptied in some time.
• The mattresses in all of the rooms were broken. Not just old, not just lumpy, but clearly sagging and creaking with uneven bases. The bedroom on the main floor furthest away from the bathroom had a bedframe that was broken with the footboard and headboard collapsing in to the center of the bed.
We loved the area and the beautiful outdoor views around the community and the Davis area and would have probably put up with the less than satisfactory accommodation if we had been able to sleep comfortably on any one of the beds.
