Pros: Inexpensive. The cabin has nice sized rooms.. nice bedroom on main floor and ginormous bedroom upstairs with it's own deck. Wake up to view out the sliding glass door of the forest. Very secluded, peaceful and quiet in a beautiful wooded property.. NOT one of those where you are smashed up against a dozen other cabins with a beautiful view nothing but a dozen other cabins! Fairly close to a big river with several good walking/biking trails and kayak/boat put-ins. River tends to be very shallow and rocky though. Nice little towns nearby .. Independence very quaint. Pet friendly. Friendly people in the area at local stores, etc. Feel very safe and relaxed. Wonderful washer/dryer. Microwave and all appliances worked very well. Good hot water. Plenty of parking for 3, maybe 4 vehicles.

Cons: Most (all?) windows/doors don't have screens so letting nature sounds and fresh air/breezes in and bugs out is rather difficult. Need to provide maps because most cellphones did not work for navigation once we turned off the interstate and it was quite a long tangled route from the interstate to the cabin.. and back out again. Maps provided in the reservation process and also at the cabin would be tremendously helpful. The place charges a respectable cleaning fee but it was NOT clean when we arrived. Trash in all the trash/garbage cans, not all the beds were made, etc. Mattresses on main beds were not the optimal quality. Décor was rather random and outdated. Entire house smells strongly of mold but possibly just needs several days of airing out. Refrigerator exterior looked horrible. It worked well but exterior was corroded in many spots all over making it look filthy. Storm door is broken.
