Beautiful place, but not well cleaned

If you are looking for a breathtaking view and location, this is the cabin for you! Upstairs is cozy and we enjoyed living room and wood burning fireplace. As a family of 6, we spent most of our time in this area. The sunrise and sunsets are everything. Pictures do not do the view justice...its absolutely gorgeous.
I know this has been stated on other reviews, but the downstairs has a musty smell even with the humidifiers on. Also on other reviews the cleaning was brought up and I 100% agree. It needs a deep clean (appliances included) and possibly having a new service if the current one isn't doing a good job. I didn't enjoy coming from a long drive arriving to a place I needed to clean in certain areas to use and on top of it having to unload two overly filled dishwashers from the previous guests.
Overall, we did enjoy our time at Graystone Cottage and the fact that we got a winter storm which resulted in so much snow made our trip just that much better.

To be clear up front, my family and I always look forward to this trip and we always love it. There were several things this trip that just bothered me and detracted from this trip. I'll outline them here so please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
1.We arrived roughly 25 minutes early and one of the cleaning staff came out and told us that they need at least another hour and for us to come back.
2.It was clear after we settled in that the rug in the sitting room was never vacuumed because our socks were covered in dog hair after walking around the first evening.
3.The light fixture over the island in the kitchen visibly had cobwebs on it.
4.The restroom toilet in the kitchen area appeared to have been leaking for some time.
5.Someone prior to our arrival had broken one of the Tommy Bahama chairs on the lower deck level and did not report it.
6.Someone prior to our arrival was a smoker because there were cigarette butts on the lower deck.
7.Apparently the prior guest used ALL of the firewood and no one bothered to restock any for our visit.
8.Last but definitely NOT least, two gentlemen showed up by 0800 the morning of our departure and were running gas powered blowers. That was just not appropriate at all as we make this trip to relax and hearing those two blowers is anything but relaxing. Also, I had debris all over my car from it but even worse, my family felt like we needed to go ahead and rush out because they actually came onto the lower deck and were blowing off the leaves WHILE WE WERE STILL THERE! We pretty much felt like we were being run off. We'll have to do a lot of soul searching before booking our trip next year.
