Wonderful Remote Cabin but Failed Upkeep
The view is majestic, especially at sunset. There's not another property in sight from the cabin unless you're using 100x zoom so you have total privacy. The sound of birds isn't overpowering like some woodland areas.
The water isn't plumbed town water so there's a faint smell of algae, especially when you're using the hot water. The kitchen, bathroom, and linen seemed clean.
The terrible part was the amount of dust floating in the cabin air. The fly screens were covered in dust so opening the windows and sliding doors made it dustier. It was so bad it gave me hayfever and had the worst sleep on the first night there and had to find a pharmacy to get medication the next morning. I ended up cleaning the dust out of all the flyscreens myself and the hayfever didn't come back. The cabin walls are mostly clad in timber boards, which are covered in cobwebs and dust too, even the little vase of decorative dried flowers on the dining table had cobwebs in it. I understand it's a cabin in the woods, but at $300 a night and a with cleaning fee over $200, I'd don't expect to get hayfever because it's so unclean.
Maybe minor maybe not, the beige armchair had some visible stains on it. The fireplace glass was covered in soot, it's as simple as a damp papertowel dabbed in some of the left over ash, lightly rub in on the soot and the glass is clean, maybe 60sec of work.
A major let down how bad the upkeep of the cabin had become. Still enjoyed most of my stay as it was long enough to clean the dust and get over the hayfever.
If you don't mind dust, cobwebs and a possible miserable night of hayfever, then this cabin has a very romantic atmosphere, spectacular views and hard to beat privacy.
