We were extremely excited for our trip but were soon disappointment upon arrival. The name of this cabin needs to be updated. As another reviewer mentioned, the view was not 'priceless' as the trees and greenery had grown up past the second deck (leaving no mountain view from the first deck). We noticed the reviewer’s comment before booking but also saw the owner responded stating that they would take care of the issue for future guests... they had not. In fact, upon booking, we also requested to ensure this was taken care of before our arrival but that still didn’t happen. The trees have grown right in the middle of the view leaving little to see on each corner of the second deck. If you visit during the winter months, you may have better luck as there will be no leaves but still something to consider.
Another disappointment was the cleanliness. At first glance, the cabin appeared clean but as we started getting comfortable it was obvious that housekeeping does the bare minimum. We noticed a lot of dust, grime, and cobwebs and a bigger concern was the black mold/mildew surrounding the inside of the shower door upstairs. The dishwasher also smelled bad leaving us with little confidence that the dishes were cleaned thoroughly.
The description claims that this place is luxurious but with the broken blinds, creaking/loose planks on the decks, sandpaper-like towels, and extremely rough toilet paper, we beg to differ. Also know that you will hear loud bangs every so often from, what we believe to be, branches hitting the cabin.
Along with the cons of this cabin, there are a few good things to note. Check-in was simple and we appreciated the contactless process during COVID. We didn’t use them but the attraction tickets that come along with the stay are a bonus. The pool table was nice after a long day of hiking and the proximity to restaurants, shopping, and the national park was great.
Overall, if you simply want a place to crash this might suffice (despite the price) but if you're looking for a hang out spot, I wouldn’t choose this unless there are major improvements in cleanliness and there was actually a view.
Note: We cannot speak to the full responsiveness of management (aside from not resolving the view issue) as we did not call regarding our concerns. We were out & about most of the time and did not feel comfortable having people in and out of the cabin with our belongings without us there.
