Overall the property had lovely views on a pretty quiet street. We liked the hikes that were recommended by the host (especially the waterfall), the hot tub was clean and enjoyable (though visible from the road). On the downside, communication with host wasn't the best. While very nice in person (he was present when we arrived) he did not respond to my messages and phone call until the day before we checked-in (he was very apologetic about this but it added some unnecessary stress). Also, we had asked for a one-hour delayed check-out to accommodate a work phone call we needed internet for and he graciously agreed. However, he did not inform the cleaning service who showed up in the middle of our conference call (awkward moment for everyone). Kitchen had decent appliances and cookware. Some kitchen supplies (left by previous renters) came in handy. But the cabin needs updating. Screens were missing on doors, the TV wasn't connected to anything (evidently, it broke just before we got there)...the building just needs work. We were definitely looking forward to kayaking, as advertised, but the kayaks were full of water and cobwebs with no easy way to enter to creek (it was suggested in the house-book to drive them somewhere, which we could not do with our rental). In the end, we did have a relaxing time that was peaceful when guns weren't firing at a nearby range. The stars at night were lovely. I hope the owner gives the cabin the TLC it's due for.
