The hot tub is on the front porch, so there’s hardly any privacy, though at least it isn’t on the unsafe back deck. The railing back there is very loose, and leaning on it feels like you could fall several stories. The view is beautiful, but that deck is worrying. The appliances are badly outdated, and the cabin needs someone to care about its upkeep and the people staying there. When we arrived, dead and live ladybugs and millipedes were all over the kitchen floor and in the bathtub in the bedroom. We don’t use those tubs, but it made us wonder whether the cabin had been cleaned at all. It was March 22nd and there was still a fully decorated Christmas tree in the den. There were ants around the kitchen and sink, plus dust bunnies everywhere. None of the TVs worked. My husband had to set up the internet and look for a hot water heater, but we never found one that worked, if one was even there. We had no hot or even warm water. The maintenance crew told him to try a breaker, but none were labeled for the water or tub, and none had tripped. The mountain streams might have been warmer than the shower. There’s also very little privacy inside. The fireplace can be seen through from the only bedroom, so people in the den may see more than the TV. Without the lovely view, this cabin would only be good for burning to make up for the cold shower. The view won’t last long if you lean on that railing, though, and neither will you.
