It was unclear how to ignite the stove. As one turns on the burner, a smell of gas is obvious. Instructions did not indicate that one must turn the knob all the way on to ignite.
Greasy stove, dishes not clean, kitchen cupboard doors are falling off. One sofa is draped with a sheet. Back yard has trash and is impossible to enjoy, pitch on back deck.
Appliances are old, linens are tired, dryer was full of sheets and towels. Light is dim in every room.
Joel struggles to accept negative feedback, seems like he hasn’t spent enough time there in the past year to appreciate the state of deterioration.
This place is old, not “rustic”.
On a positive note he did respond verbally to all items. I did have to engage a neighbor to help me get the back door open.
As he has done before to negative reviews, he will blame the guest.
I am an active traveler and only once have given such a disappointing review.

thank you

This place was nice and cozy, in a beautifully scenic neighborhood. The host was very communicative once in the property. There was a rodent near the fire place (I can only assume that is normal for this area), but I have a bengal cat so...once and never again. For the price this place is 100% worth it. Thanks Joel!

The cabin was cute, comfortable, and pet friendly. The lake, zoo, and snow summit were only short drives away. Next time we're visiting the area, we'll definitely book it again.
