The cabin looks exactly like the picture. It was very clean and seemed to be very well kept. When we arrived at the cabin, we had a slight issue because someone had cut branches on some trees and left them in the driveway so that it was completely blocked. However, upon one call to the manager the situation was handled without any snags or problems at all! He was very kind and helpful, especially since the cut branches were not from his property! One issue that we had was that this cabin does not have WiFi (which was an oversight on my part). Also, it only had one dvd player on one of the TVs and it did not have netflix, Direct TV, or cable of any kind. I believe in the listing of the cabin, it claims to have a Direct TV and there certainly is a dish and remote for it, but there was no Direct TV box to my knowledge. So, if you have kids that watch TV like mine do, take this into account. Another notable situation we encountered was a sound that occurred off and on throughout the night. It sounded like someone was shaking the back door, or trying to get it open. My husband and I barely slept while we were there because we were up searching for the cause of this sound. It's quiet loud and, on the second night, scared our child so that she wouldn't sleep either. Like I said, I have no idea what the sound was, but it warrants being looked into because it is very disturbing.
