Clean and a decent place to stay. The bathroom is a little small, and the kitchen could use a remodel, but I was there to sleep and had no issues.

This is a lovely little “fishing cabin” with cute and thoughtful touches like an outside fire pit with wood, solar pathway lights, restaurant suggestions, ceiling fan in the bedroom, and nice amenities and decent towels in the bathroom. Responses from the host were immediate. The property is in a great location with a pond right down the street. No complaints at all - highly recommended, especially if you like staying a bit out of town and in “nature.”
