Got to the property on the first night around 6:30pm. The electricity was out when we arrived because of a downed tree. Not a big deal, it happens. Made it difficult to get a feel for the place in the beginning. Did notice a smell and lots of air freshener things around that were not masking the odor. I’d find out later what the odor was. The outside of the cabin needs a good pressure Wash. Lots of spiderwebs everywhere. The outside furniture seemed so dingy you didn’t want to sit on it. If you’re looking for the advertised creek you have to walk down the property, across a road and through a small field area. It is very overgrown and not anywhere you would feel comfortable hanging around for more than couple minutes. Property next door is exact opposite. Chairs, fire pit, well manicured right by the lovely creek. Drove into town for a couple hours, came back and electricity was on. Being able to see the cabin well now my initial thoughts was it was over decorated. Stuff is everywhere. Doesn’t make sense to have so many dust collectors in a rental. The fridge, counters, table, and floors seemed to be clean enough. We were tired so took a shower and pretty much went to sleep right away. Next morning left early for a full day of hiking, tubing and shopping. Came back to the cabin after long day and like the day before pretty much showered and went to bed. We did call and state that we weren’t really happy with the cabin and felt it was not as advertised before we went to sleep. Were told someone locally would call us but went to bed anyway thinking it’s fine and we will just not spend a lot of time there. The next morning we were greeted to some surprises! Rodent droppings were all over the kitchen, coffee table, side table, on top of refrigerator on floor in corner of bedroom I just woke in. Immediately started packing up despite having one more night we already paid for. There was no way I was staying another second. Despite all this we still followed the checkout instructions, stripped bed linens, washed all dishes (even though they ALL need to be washed and sanitized once the rodent problem is taken care of) took out trash, etc. During all this it hit me what the smell was, rodents! We called the website to let them know we were not staying the last night and told them why in hopes they could get it taken care of before someone else’s vacation was ruined. Can’t recommend because of our own experience. We picked this place bc of positive reviews
