Positives:
Communication with owner, location on lake, and outside amenities were great! Awesome view of the lake, private pier, canoe, and grill were some of the outside perks.
For last minute booking, the lakeview was really nice! Plenty of outdoor chairs/seating.
Neutral:
The house key wasn't dropped off until the evening although the door was left unlocked so we had access at check-in
No internet or cable access although we were told ahead of time
There wasn't air conditioning, but heater/furnace appeared to work
Negatives:
TV had built-in dvd player but didn't appear to work (got a "bad disc" error on multiple dvds). Remote also didn't work
Bathroom had 2 doors, but one didn't open at all, and other wouldn't close/lock. The bathroom sink faucets barely reached into the basin.
There were extra blankets, but they appeared to have cat hair on them.
The kitchen lacked some items I would have considered essential to a furnished cabin (i.e. wine glasses, skillet larger than 6", pot larger than 5")
There were no curtains on any of the windows and only 2 windows in one of the bedrooms had blinds.
