10/10 Exceptional! (2 reviews)
The cabin was wonderful and super cozy. Great overall experience and stay with the exception of the amount of dog hair there was. I understood it was pet friendly but finding dog hairs was not something I braced myself with. What I assumed was long blonde Labrador hair on blankets, carpet and stuck to our socks was not the best experience. Outside of this it was great!

8/10 Very Good! (1 review)
The condominium is very beautiful and located in an excellent area. It is fully equipped with everything needed for a group of 14 people. The barbecue area is very nice; it just needs a bit more lighting. Overall, I highly recommend it.

"I stayed at this property once before about 7 years ago. I had a decent memory from it. But this recent stay could not have been further from my memory. The property was absolutely filthy and unkept. Looks like there has been nearly no maintenance in the last 7 years, and was a sad shell of the property ..."
