We loved this cute, quirky cabin! Everything we needed for a long weekend. A short walk to downtown & a great view of the New Year firework show from the deck. We would definitely stay here again.

Positives
Close to town- easy walk
Historic property built in 1879
Dog friendly, but no place for the dog to be off leash such as a back yard
Very clean and well stocked with dishes and glassware on arrival
Negatives
Accessibility - Stairs are more of a ladder than stairs. The four of us are all in our mid to late sixties and it was a challenge to go up or down the stairs safely. If you are taller than 6’ you need to duck to avoid hitting your head on the ceiling at the back of the master bedroom. The ceilings and floors are not level and the walls are not square, but I understand the homes bones are a rustic cabin. It’s Impossible to sit on the main level toilet without hitting your legs on the vanity, or sitting at an angle.
Only one vehicle allowed to park in the driveway, and the nearby offsite parking was full of construction vehicles and trailers for off road vehicles.
I have never stayed at a VRBO where you are expected to wash your towels and dishes, and take out the trash when you leave. I expect that to be part of the cleaning fee.
NO smoking anywhere on the property, not even outside on the deck. My cousin had to walk out to the fairly busy dirt road in front of the cabin to smoke his cigar.
Odor similar to a decaying animal in main level strongest near the bathroom and bedroom, this was mentioned in several earlier reviews so it obviously has not been addressed. For what I spent for two nights stay I was very disappointed.
