The location of the cabin is very nice. Pretty area, very quiet.
The cabin wasn't quite as clean as I expected (crumbs on the counter, caked on food on cooktop, place mats and utensils, floors not totally clean, mouse traps everywhere).
I prefer less interaction with the host during my stay unless I have questions or need something, but I understand the host wanted to be attentive. I appreciated the fresh bread she brought over and the game for my kids to play during a rainy week. Lacking the homey touches I have experienced in other rental properties, and many of the items in the home could use replacing like towels, linens, and cookware. You definitely need to bring quick clean up supplies like counter spray/wipes, paper towels, trash bags, plastic wrap/foil, etc. Most of those items have been readily available in a semi-limited supply at other rentals. I replaced the kitchen sponge because it was well used.
There was some repair work being done during our stay, but that was understandable and necessary, so I don't take any points off for that given it's a busy rental season.
It was a nice vacation location, but I had different expectations for the home itself. 3.75 stars rounded up to 4.
