"The house was large, beautiful and a great location. However, the cabin had not been thoroughly dusted and cleaned in a while. We had to leave a day early because of family allergy issues. The top layer of bed linens were very dusty - which we never use much but as I said we had to leave a day early.The kitchen utensil drawer had dead flies in them.That being said, I did contact host and he was going to order a thorough cleaning on cabin."
