Absolutely no problems with this great cabin.
Fan needs replacement. Cabin could use a binder of how everything works. Beware bears and sap from trees outside. No cell service to call property manager.
Very happy with our stay. Planning on returning to the property

Lovely vacation home
Great kitchen ice maker did not work for a expensive frig lets get this working. Plenty of firewood. I think providing bed linens bath towels would improve your rental responses. You get plenty of money to not to provide this service.
