lovely little cottage
thank you for having us - we had a relaxing time. The games/puzzles and kitchen staples were so nice to have. Some feedback would be to update the exact pin location to make it easier to find in the dark. Also the neighbors Doberman ran infront of our car on the street and wouldn’t let us proceed on the route.. it was territorial and barking and the neighbor on the porch didn’t seem to care about getting the dog from blocking us. We were finally able to get to the driveway but it came and circled our car for about 5 minutes. This happened again when we returned on night 2. It peed on our car and wandered the property and we snuck in. Without knowing if it’s a nice dog it was actually kind of alarming and frustrating. you can see on any front cam footage ~6:30pm both nights. Also didn’t bother us but we saw a mouse in the kitchen (ran into the small crack to the right of the coffee machine). We kept all food away for the remainder of our stay.

Great Getaway
The cabin was very clean and stocked with everything we needed for a weekend getaway. We had a bit of trouble finding it at first due to poor cell signal (which we expected since we knew it was in the boonies.) Our first night the keypad wouldn't unlock so we could enter the cabin, the property manager responded quickly but it did take a while for maintenance to arrive (again, boonies.) They were very kind and got the issue fixed quickly. We had a great time and thought it was such a cool, ecclectic cabin (great games, some movies, and vinyls!)

Nice quiet place.
We only were here for a short time, mainly for a place to sleep and shower. Beds unfortunately are rock hard (which might be good for someone else), I slept on the downstairs couch the second night. Outside of that, cabin was nice.
