The cabin was nice and exactly as described. The kitchen was fully stocked with spices, kitchen utensils, and everything you would need to cook or grill.
The only negatives were the flies. The flies were horrible and as soon as you open the door swarms of them came in. The guest before us left some food in the trash can that was shoved in a cabinet. I just happened to find it and it was absolutely disgusting and full or flies.
The towels provided were nicely folded but were put up damp and they all had a soured smell. We had rewash them before using. These things aren't a huge deal but frustrating when you have to pay $140 cleaning fee.
I gave communication a 3 because I rented the cabin in my name and on my credit card; however, the host gave the door code another person in our party. The host then stayed in contact the entire weekend with this other person. In this case it wasn't a huge deal BUT I didn't feel comfortable with the door code being given out to someone who the host had no idea who it was. This orher persons name was never given to the host and her name was not on the rental contract.
Additionally, the closing instructions were apparently given to said guest as well. I never heard from the host except for when she messaged me the first morning of the intended stay. I would have preferred the host speak to me directly because if any specific instructions were given and not relayed to me, my credit card was on file, meaning I am the one being held responsible.
