Peaceful cabin in the woods

We loved Whispering Pines cabin. Super clean and property was exactly as advertised. Jessica was super responsive to any questions we had. The area is beautiful and quiet. River front is a quick drive. The town is about a 10 minute drive and had groceries, an awesome butcher shop and good restaurants.

Poorly equipped

Basic travel items missing, industrial laundry detergent provided, use 1-2 oz for every 100 pounds? How do I measure that from a gallon bottle? Basic amenities not provided. The cabin needs bedroom furniture, no place unpack, 8 days living out of a suitcase on floor. Rented from the prior owner 10+ times, this owner may lose me as a regular customer. Owner seems to be too greedy to provide items provided by every rental I have used, all over North America.
