The nice surprises about our stay were the proximity to grocery stores and restaurants; coffee provided; very modest pet fee; and blankets for the dogs.
The expected things about our stay were a functioning hot tub, fenced area for the dogs to mill about (I wouldn't call it a yard), simple enough checkin.
The unpleasant things about our stay were the cabin was uncomfortably small - no space for four people to eat together unless on the very small back deck, no space to lay down a yoga mat for a practice; the beds were terribly uncomfortable with both couples feeling like were were falling into pits in the middle of the mattresses - I didn't get a good night's sleep a single night there; the house was loud - any time our friends moved around upstairs we could hear it loudly downstairs; the road traffic was loud and constant.
