Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Pretty, but somewhat misleading and unclean
We sought a cabin to celebrate the night of our engagement. We specifically looked for a cabin to make sure we’d have our own space separate from other people in nature. Some of the photos led me to believe the cabin apartment was its own small unit, like a guest house. It is actually the bottom floor of a multi-unit converted barn. We heard the dogs upstairs barking all night. Perhaps more explicit language, like “charming barn first floor apartment,” would clarify. An addendum mentioning the short ceiling height may be nice as well, as my 6’5” fiance was regularly running into things.
And while I’m aware a cabin is meant to be rustic, meaning old plumbing and ants aren’t unusual, the shower water smelled strongly of dirt to the point we just skipped our showers. The sheets had a line of marker dots that gave us quite a scare when we checked for bedbugs. While a cabin doesn’t need to be as insulated as a proper house, it should ideally have drinkable water, which I did not trust of this listing.
The property is beautiful, the host was responsive, and the bed was comfy. But given the lack of privacy and safety concerns, I wish we had just booked a hotel.
