The location, the house itself, the hot tub, overall experience would be a 10/10. The beds were comfortable, lots of pillows. There were no extra blankets for lounging, but we came prepared. The service for most of our group's cell receptions were extremely poor, it made communicating with property management difficult.
Big pluses:
1. The location is PRIME. Roaring river, close to trails, large backyard, amazing jaw-dropping view.
2. The hot tub is massive.
3. Two fridges made storing food and drinks very easy.
4. Large size laundry was convenient for washing the towels inbetween the hot tub.
5. Lots of DVDs, which was nice for downtime and the internet never worked.
Notes for improvement to the property management:
1. The internet did not work. We're all in the tech industry and still couldn't resolve the internet issues. Despite the resetting and unplugging, there was no internet. Cell service was also limited (1 bar or less) so hotspots were also out of the question, couldn't send pictures etc. If the internet is known to be spotty at that location, would be a helpful warning on the listing. (Its nice to get away from internet but some guests needed to work away from home)
2. Bathroom updates: The first bathroom has a cracked shower head and sprays everywhere. Also the trimmming and baseboards were crumbling away and appeared moldy. The toilet seats are made out of wood and when wiped down ourselves were extremely dirty. The tub with the jets is extremely stained and the filter looked very dirty.
3. General hardware: The upstairs loft railing is loose and moves significantly when descending the stairs. The oven needs a deep clean, there is a really bad smell when being used and the grates are very dirty. The hot tub was extremely chlorinated, green foam bubbles overflowing that had specks of black. We aired it out and tried to scoop out the foam as much as possible, was not pleasant for those with sensitive skin.
Overall, the cabin has MASSIVE potential. Some minor updates to the kitchen and bathrooms would've made for a better experience. Honestly, despite the minor setbacks, would stay here again.
