No view of lake, dirty and sticky inside, propane grill doesn’t function
We’ve rented out cabins from cool cabins before and this is the first time we walk in and the floors are very dusty and everything was sticky. The condition of the couches was horrible. We didn’t want our children touching anything in there at all. Just when we said well let’s hang out on the back porch and grill the meat that we brought, we come to find that the grill didn’t work. We ended up buying more food in big bear doubling up our expenses. Not our best experience
