The cabin was definitely in a beautiful setting and was more than large enough for our family of 10. Communication was very good and the information we needed was great.
The outside temps were hot and humid during our stay. We arrived to find the a/c nor any of the ceiling fans turned on. The only a/c in the cabin is a lone window unit in the loft bedroom. This unit is not sufficient enough to cool down the entire cabin even with the help of all the ceiling fans being used. We even used the only fan in the cabin to try to push some of the cool air downstairs to no avail, so we locally purchased fans for the remaining bedrooms to try to move more air to make sleeping comfortable. It did help to open the windows at night but there was not always a breeze coming in.
Even though we searched we never found any electrical switches to turn on the outside lights, so that was a challenge when we would return after dark for the steps on the deck and to see the lock for the front door.
Beds were too soft but maybe we are too picky on that issue.
Large kitchen table, ample seating to watch TV or relax and was great to have 2 full bathrooms plus laundry facilities. Kitchen was great with so much counter space for making meals.
Hi Di, we're glad the cabin's setting, spacious layout, and amenities like the kitchen and laundry made your stay enjoyable overall. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- To improve comfort during warmer months, an additional A/C unit has been installed on the main level, and more fans will be added to help with air circulation throughout the home.
- The cleaning team has been instructed to turn on both A/C units and ceiling fans before guest arrivals to ensure a cooler welcome.
- The exterior lights are controlled by a photocell and should come on automatically at night. The switch located in the laundry room was likely turned off by mistake, and signage is being added to clarify this for future guests.
Thanks for your valuable feedback.
Very nice location, which was probably our favorite part. Bummed that the hotub was not filled, so we were unable to use it, and some of the windows did not have screens so we could not have them open so it did get a little warm at times. Overall though good stay!
