The cabin was exactly what we wanted. Our own little place without a lobby away from other people. The cabin was clean. The stars at night were wonderful, comparable to the New Mexico skies.
We did not give it a perfect rating because of some expectations that were not met and the high security deposit.
We are not big TV watchers but when we travel we like to unwind with some classic shows on cable TV. It was disappointing to find that there was not cable TV as indicated in the property amenities.
The other misleading item was the lack of a dishwasher. Hotels.com did not list this but the contact from the owner referenced it several times about running the dishwasher. It was a surprise that we did not have one.
If you would like to cook, you will have a minimally fully stocked kitchen with cast iron.
If you light having light to read, the cabin is very dark and does not have any high wattage light bulbs.
I would recommend to the owners to put directions on the A/C. The remote did not work as expected.
Finally, I did receive a past due invoice to pay. I emailed and was told because I booked through Hotels.com that their system did not process it properly. If I did not contact them I could have paid a few hundred dollars more. Not good.
In conclusion, the communication was great. The cabin great. Just some unexpected hiccups.
