"I've stayed there before but thus 2as the 1st time by myself. I was a little disappointed. The sheets were clean but obviously had a percent stain. They should have noticed and discarded the sheet. Just before I left I checked all the drawers and there was an apple and 2 Carmel apples in the drawer under the coffee pot. The apple looked pretty good so recently left there but I wondered how long it would stay there if I didn't mention it. I'd probably stay there again but will check the room before I stay. Unfortunately I went to sleep late so just put a towel over the old stain."

"The cabin was described and as expected. Very cute. Cookware was high quality with good water pressure and hot water. Both bedrooms were very nice. The deck was beautiful for sunrise coffee! The fire pit was nice- just be sure to bring all of your own items to help make a fire (ie, fire starters, newspaper, long matches), which I did luckily. We didn't go out on the provided canoe, because we didn't see life jackets. We went to the other side of Lake Pulaski to sit at the beach, and they did have watercraft rentals. Would reserve again!"
