I booked this place for myself and my old Dad, all we needed were two separate bedrooms in a warm place to spend one night after exploring cool elevations of the nearby area.
This rustic cabin is huge for typical Airbnb. Layout is wonderful, cute, two bedrooms are upstairs, high vaulted ceiling, full well equipped kitchen, entertainment with Netflix, YouTube etc. Shower had really nice hot water. There are instructions everywhere, intuitive to find and easy to follow. It has everything for living there even for a long term. It is a perfect place for 5 people, bedrooms are so big! Dad and I we both loved it! The communication was instant, access instructions were very illustrative, even included a video! We found it right away in full darkness.
With all respect to Mitch, very polite and responsive host, I am only giving it 4 stars, because it was colder than my personal (and for my Dad’s) preferences. I think there were reasons for that: it is winter, house is not insulated, the place is huge to heat, we booked it in the evening, and arrived only an hour after booking. At arrival, with all windows and doors shut, temperature inside felt like outdoor. We had to take our shoes off following the rules, and flor was cold. We started a fireplace and it was warm to be very close to it, we started heaters in both bedrooms right away. We kept fireplace running for 4 hours, we could not leave it on for the night by the rules. It was still cold in all the rooms. Bed was freezing, I had to start sleeping with my clothes on, there were a lot of blankets though, i finally warmed up. We kept both heaters working on highest settings overnight with bedroom doors closed and it was still only 63F (17C) in the bedroom in the morning. It was much colder in the rest of the house, like outdoor, especially downstairs, not comfortable enough even to make a cup of coffee. We left immediately after waking up, warmed up in the car.
I spent most of my life in Siberia and Alaska, and my Dad came visiting from Siberia, we managed to keep our dwellings there at more comfortable for us temperatures. I understand if we had stayed longer, Mitch would have a chance to fix our issue. On a positive note, this house should be perfect for those seeking to chill off in tropics.
