Overall cabin was great could use a deep clean on the stove top and grill. Master bedroom TV didn't work but not a deal breaker. Home is cute and comfortable creek in the back made for a relaxing evening on the deck.

Reviewer Comments:
The view of the creek is stunning, but that’s the only good part. The house was not clean, the washer didn’t work properly, and there was no internet or TV connection during my entire stay. Definitely needs better maintenance and management.
