We loved the cabin. The amenities were clean. Everything was tidy. Plenty of sheets, blankets, pillows, hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, books, crossword puzzles, etc. The upstairs loft is great. I'm hard of hearing, but it was amazing how easy it was to hear each other between the first and second floors of the cabin. Really nice! The fire pit is great and we made the best campfire ever.
Peggy was very easy to work with and everything that was contained in our email conversation was right on the money. The local area is nice. Parker Dam State Park seemed nicer than the other nearby state park. There are neighbors on either side. The one beyond the cabin is about 80 yards away and I think it is a similar cabin to the one we stayed in. It was vacant. The residence that is passed before the cabin appears to be a year-round residence. It is a little farther away than the vacant cabin. I was hoping that there would be no neighbors. Fortunately, they were very quiet. I've learned not to ask property owners about the neighbor situation because what is "close" to one person might not be to another. Not a big deal since they were cool.
I have two gripes. The first one is not the owner's fault; the nearby main drag (SR 153, I believe) is heavily trafficked with big trucks. The hill is pretty steep and the trucks use their Jake brakes, which are super loud. Fortunately, there are few trucks after evening hours. Few is not none, though. The other gripe is that the downstairs double bed needs to be replaced. It is like trying to sleep on a crooked upside-down taco. The upstairs bed is fine.
4 out of 5!
