    Well stocked cabin in Packwood close to lots of outdoor adventuring. We were impressed by how much has been successfully packed into small square footage - four adults and two kids were very comfortable. Beds were a little soft but the overall vibe was a nice nature getaway perfect for family time. A couple notes for future guests on items we didn’t notice from the listing: - The property is managed by a company rather than an individual owner. The property company would get back to our emails in a couple of hours but it would’ve been nice to have an owner to text with little questions. - If you’re interested in the golf or pool be sure to message a few days ahead. - There is no dishwasher, which can take a lot of time away if you’re a bigger group. But the house was stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed, bathroom had shampoo conditioner laundry detergent etc. Even stuff for s’mores!- Lastly, the cabin is pretty close to other houses, which was not obvious to us from pictures.

    Inside the cabin was wonderful! So cute and cozy, and well decorated. Stocked well with extras. The fire table didn’t work, the lights in the back and outlets in the rooms didn’t work. The neighborhood was our biggest concern. It’s literally in between two mobile homes filled with junk. Kind of messes with the ambiance. The pool was a great amenity! Although I wish it had been noted in the original listing that it costs 10 a person per day to use.
