Wins:
The house is beautiful and the location is just as described, secluded with beautiful views but very close to town.
The finishes are very nice, all new and beautiful.
Opportunities:
While the location is convenient to town, it is still up a large hill, if there is snow/ice you would likely need 4WD to get to the cabin.
There were a lot of rules, a whole book in fact, which made it less enjoyable. Rules about how high to turn the heat when the house isn’t that well insulated didn’t sit well with me. Rules about not using the wood stove without explicit prior conversation sucked the fun out of the winter cabin experience. More proactive sharing of that information would of been helpful to coordinate beforehand.
There wasn’t any personalized effort, which isn’t required but goes a long way, especially when staying over a holiday.
One of the doors on the deck was unsecured and slammed in the wind, this was disturbing at night and woke some people up.
