There were outlets that were loose in the bedroom and the bathroom. They would not support a phone charger. The porch light was not working good enough to support a well lite porch area. The overall expierence was wonderful. The cabin needs a few minor fixes. We would suggest the property and would rent again.

Beautiful lodge with views of the mountains. Quiet and secluded. Bathroom in our room could use updating. Shower took rather long to heat up and the Direct tv in our room didn't work, but we were able to stream via the wifi.

We stayed for one night. It was an inexpensive place to rest our head for the night after a long drive. We were going to Babyland the next day. The mattress is very low quality. I could feel the springs through the mattress. I really wish all hotels would provide quality, comfortable mattresses to sleep on. Housekeeping could do a little better of a job paying attention to a couple things.
