Property is vey nice and the communication with the owner was great. Creek behind the cabin sounds wonderful and the fire pit next to it was awesome. I recommend bringing your own chairs for the fire pit. Plenty of wood was provided which was nice. Bring your own fire starter, there wasn’t any there and the small branches I used were damp so it took a bit to get it started.The kitchen is stocked nicely with silverware, pots, pans, plates, cups and other needed items if you cook at the cabin.The TV was good, make sure to search for Spectrum if you want to watch local channels, otherwise the streaming services are available.Plenty of towels and toilet paper provided and starter shampoo/body wash if you don’t bring your own.I recommend bringing plenty of bottled water to drink and cook with as the water from the tap has a strange taste, this is pretty normal in mountain houses.

Ian, We're glad to see you enjoyed our properties amenities and we appreciate you informing us about the "mountain water " taste. A two filter updated filtration system has been added since your stay now when you decide to stay with us in the future you won't experience the "mountain water" taste again.
