We rented this cabin for my sons 8th birthday to celebrate with two other families and their kids. The listing seemed a good fit, as it is close to Leland snow play (although not as close as it says).
Sadly, the description did not convey the following…
You will need to provide your own:
TOILET PAPER
DISH SOAP
HAND SOAP
GARBAGE BAGS
GARBAGE BINS FOR INSIDE (yes, they suggested we hang garbage bags on door knobs throughout the home)
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHING DETERGENT
COFFEE FILTERS
LAUNDRY DETERGENT (if you plan to use)
I was told all this after booking! I was told these were “Covid Protocols” which if you’ve traveled during covid, you will recognize right away, this isn’t so.
Also, be advised your beds will not be made upon arrival. You will need to take down the comforters/pillows from the bed(s) and put on the sheets/pillow cases. This was apparently part of “Covid Protocol” as well. Hmmm…. Sheets were being touched and folded so I don’t understand why that is safer “Covid Protocol” then putting them on the bed and making the bed itself. The only thing that makes sense is that they don’t want to wash anything that isn’t used, which is the opposite of a covid protocol friendly environment.
Said beds were very uncomfortable with exception of the king bed downstairs which was okay.
Pros: location is good if you are looking to use Leland snow play.
Cabin itself is not bad… good amount of space. Lots of parking avail
Cons: Very outdated. All appliances look to be circa 1970’s. Microwave is not working, leak in fridge with note explaining, and cleaning could’ve been much better (dead flies in window track when you open the master bedroom window), dishes were not all clean that were in cupboards. Ironically there was a note that “for our convenience the dishes were left clean in the dishwasher.”
Upon arrival the temperature was 44° inside the home. We were told in writing several times to leave the home at 55° when we left (which we did). Communication with owner was not great. We had to prompt several times to get answers about what was not supplied to understand what specifically to bring. One question never got answered or addressed at all.
The one positive thing that the owner did was give us a late check out.
If you are looking for a basic stay and have low expectations/needs… this is fine for you.
I expect much more based upon the listing description and paying over a thousand dollars for 2 nights.
