Nice Cabin—Needs Heating Updated
It’s a really cute cabin, but the space heaters provided struggle to keep spaces warm on cold nights. I would recommend upgrading to oil radiator space heaters or repairing the central heat.

Needs updating
The cabin itself is okay. The bed needs to be updated.. very uncomfortable.. we bought a foam mattress pad so we could sleep.. the heat did not work. the air/heat control panel was hanging on by wires. very unsafe. Sheet pan that was provided was too big for oven. Could not shut oven door. I was hoping to have guests over so we could celebrate my Sewanee graduate. Could not because outdoor patio was dirty and the furniture.
