The main purpose of our stay was to have a ski weekend getaway. This cabin is less than 15 minutes from timberline resort, so what is the perfect homebase for skiing. The location was also great because it’s right in downtown government camp. This means there’s quite a few restaurants and shops within walking distance, which was nice to enjoy after a long day on the slopes.
There were two things that would have made this stay even more seamless and relaxing:
1. Including kindling or fire starter in the cabin for the woodstove. There were wood logs for the fire, but no kindling. There was a small sign that said you could buy kindling at the general store. By the time we realized that it was late at night and going to the general store wasn’t an option. if you’re going to offer a wood stove and logs, including the five dollars worth of kindling would help guests.
2. The cleaning instructions for check out were quite extensive compared to any rentalI’ve stayed at. For example, they ask you to wipe down stove knobs, clean the inside of the microwave, and to dry and put away all dishes. This really turned us off to doing any cooking in the rental out of concern we wouldn’t get our deposit back, so we avoided eating in the rental at all.
All in all, those are two very minor things that would help make this even better for the future. But the cabin was, adorable, comfortable, and very cozy.
