We didn't read the reviews before reserving. When I walked into the cabin, I immediately second guessed our choice. It is very rustic. The windows and coverings are old. The locks for the door are terrible. There are only 2 outlets in the whole cabin. The bathroom was long and skinny. We had to slide past the sink to get to the toilet and shower. There was maybe 1 1/2' between the sink and the wall! I woke up in the middle of the night to scratching. I turned the light on and saw a mouse come out of our bag on the table and run out the door (which is not sealed tightly). We went through the rest of our luggage and locked it securely. Before I could go back to sleep, I heard another noise. Turned on the light and saw another mouse run across the floor. We arrived on motorcycles, so we couldn't sleep in our car or head to another place...this place is about 30 miles from the next town! I haven't tried to get any refund, as past reviews state that they will not. We paid a lot of money to share a room with the wildlife!

The cabin was a cute as could be, but it was not very clean! Needs deep cleaning AND just a good day-to-day cleaning.
The property was exceptionally beautiful and well cared for. I'd stay again in a heartbeat but for the cleanliness issue
The mice running around my room was the worst part of the experience! I had 2 nights booked but checked out after only one and they would not refund me.
When I arrived in my cabin I first noticed that the light fixture was filled with hundreds dead bugs and looked like it had never been cleaned.
I was sitting on my bed in the evening on my phone when I heard a rustling noise in the bathroom. I looked to see a mouse running along the brim of the garbage can. It then ran into my room towards my bed. I scared it and it hid in one of the many cracks in the cabin.
The moment I turned out the light I heard the mouse running along the floor, I would turn the light back on and saw it scurry back to a crack. The thought of it climbing up on my bed while I slept was too much. I opted to sleep in my vehicle instead.
But……. As I settled in my car at 1:00am, I heard a loud scratching sound under my hood and in my dash. No doubt the mice followed to my car as this is where I had my food stored. I turned on my vehicle and moved to sleep in the main parking lot away from the cabin. Needless to say I did not sleep much.
When I returned to my room at sun up, there was indeed mouse droppings on my bed, yuck!
Not only that but the restaurant was shut down. I was told in an email that upon check in that I could still order breakfast for the morning. But when I checked in the person behind the desk said they did not know anything of it.
