We rented a large cabin, while the location is pretty nice, and the cabin is whimsical and interesting , it was quite dated and needs a ton of work to really make it worth the high cost. We had a lot of issues with the water quality coming out of the tap as well as pretty strong smell of sewage because of all the rain and they said that maybe the septic tank needs to be pumped. Overall there were a lot of things that could have been improved to make the stay more enjoyable, the kitchen could use a refresh of utensils, knives, silverware and pots and pans. There was a lot of trim missing here and there like in the bathrooms. Bathrooms did not all lock reliably and one didn't even have a door. Getting in and out of the building was pretty treacherous, the driveway needs a lot of work to make it more approachable, it looks like it doesn't have any culverts to allow the water to flow when it rains. So you get a lot of sunken periods and it makes it very treacherous with anything other than a four-wheel drive. Parking was not quite wide enough for more than four or five vehicles and it was uncomfortable trying to turn around and not go off the mountain. The penthouse area while nice was very disconnected from the rest of the house with only outdoor stairs leading to it, the stairs were a little bit uneven and that uniform so it was a little treacherous as well, the railings were wider than the stairs so it made it hard to hold them for support. The front rock stops to get into the main house were uneven and easy to trip on. The hot tub water was extremely filthy when we arrived and even after emptying and refilling it did not clean up very well, probably need some work on the filter system. At the end of the day I would say even though the host was quite responsive and did come and address the water, at least, they should have prepared better for our large group before we arrived and seen the water and septic issues before we were even there.
