Perfect spot for a Christmas day

I live down the hill, and this property location was perfect for my family to stay and spend Christmas together. The house has everything you need, from bedding to kitchen appliances, pots, pans, and entertainment.

New Year’s Annual Trip

Cabin is amazing! Loved layout and location. The management company was terrible. That cabin had several issues that needed to be addressed. According to the prior guest and other guest, these issues were reported to this company several times and no one addresses the problems. I said all this so the owner might be aware that they have water leaks and damage, internet that doesn’t work at all, the amenities are not as described. The leak from upstairs drips onto a nice pool table downstairs. I hate to see such a nice cabin go downhill. A local management company may help with fixing issues as they occur.
