The cabin was not clean. Didn’t have any blankets and didn’t provide anything extra to do. Not for kids

Did not stay there

We did not stay at this property. We went to the location and the surrounding area was not as portrayed. There were overgrown weeds everywhere, an abandoned camper and an abandoned military vehicle, a building that looked abandoned with a washer and dryer on the outside of the house and was just overall a very sketchy area. The boards on the front of the house were rotting. We told the owner that we did not feel safe staying there with our newborn and asked for a refund due to the fact that none of this surrounding area was depicted. They told us that the abandoned camper with weeds all over it was “historic” and that it was accurately described in the listing and would not refund us. I told them we would not have booked the listing with our baby if we had known what the rest of the property looked like. There was nothing in this listing about the sketchy surrounding area. I would not recommend this place if you care about the surrounding area. The inside was clean and as pictured.
