    Needs a lot of TLC. Minimum outlets, heat didn't work and water was luke warm in shower. There weren't any nightstands, shelves or hooks for personal items (there was a shelf in the closet but suitcases had to go on the floor). Price was high for rental but maybe you're paying to be close to the mountains?

    Nice location. Clean and bed was comfortable.

    My cabin and furniture smelled like smoke. Very bothersome for me. Rooms were dark. And kitchen pots utensils were very limited. very small table for dining.

    nice shower, clean towels and sheets, great location, nice cabin layout, nice clothes dresser, nice bedside nightstand and light, good wifi.

    The interiors are meant to be quaint with a mountainous feeling, but in reality everything old and worn out. All materials and surfaces need updating. For my husband and I, it was difficult to spend one more second than necessary inside this chalet

    I was there with a group, so we got to try a room and a cabin. There were bugs all over the room. Nothing was clean, and the entire property seemed pretty run down. The descriptions are misleading. Most of the rooms are labeled as cabins but are actually just motel rooms. The actual cabins are tiny, they feel smaller than the motel rooms. When trying to unload into the cabin at night their sprinklers came on, which were aimed at the walkways so I ended up getting soaked right before bed. We had called their phone number during normal daylight hours, which directed us to a generic customer service line, which wasn't very helpful. The customer service told us they offered coffee and fresh baked goods for breakfast. When I asked the owners about it in the morning, they just that was wrong. I know i booked on July 4th, but this place gave the value of a *cheap* 1 star motel, but is priced like a 4 star hotel.

    They were available on July 4th, I now understand why. No bed bugs, I think.

    I thought that I had reserved a cabin and instead was given a motel room. However, the room was still enormous and quiet.

    The room was huge and very comfortable for me and my two kiddos. I was concerned about arriving late, but when I called the gentleman I spoke with was very helpful and I later received an email with my room number and pertinent information.

    The full size mattress was a bit soft.

    We were a group of four friends (1 guy & 3 ladies) traveling together so the availability of three beds was essential to us. The cabin was older but was clean and equipped to meet all the basic needs. We loved the well equipped kitchen. The bathroom even had bath robes, makeup remover and disposable slippers! Free coffee, juice and mini muffins were offered in the office.

    Furniture and carpet were visibly dirty. Bathroom: above shower drywall was coming off and bubbled. Spa was empty, and when I booked, it said nothing about the spa not being available. We probably would not stay there again.

    Location was good, close to town.

    Air conditioner didn’t work properly and died the last night there. Front door handle kept coming off. Stove was missing a burner. Lots of little bugs coming in from the cracks around windows and doors. No instructions for the tv and a remote that controlled the tv. With a little upkeep, these cabins would be great. Oh, and the sheets kept coming loose. Maybe get some sheets that fit better or a strap thingy that holds them in place.

    Lots of hot water. Nice grassy area for dogs. Good location.

    I booked a cabin but was given a state-smelling motel room for the 3 of us.

    The motel room smelled so stale I was almost overcome. I don't think it was cigarette smoke, but it was just so stale - was it the carpet or other soft furnishings? The air conditioner was incredibly noisy.

    False advertising: I booked with Idle a While Cabins, not Idle a While motel. They are on the same site, and are the same business, but I booked a cabin and was given a motel room. The price was good for the cabin but not good for the room, which had no cooking facilities. However, the internet was satisfactory and the location was convenient to town.

    Where do I start? It's very run down. A/C units were recently added, but they're "insulated" into the wall with towels shoved into the gap, and wasps could get in through the cracks. The bathroom sink was clogged, several light bulbs were burned out, making the whole place very dark, the TV didn't work at all, the kitchen "knives" couldn't cut butter, and the furniture is from the early 90s and pretty gross- looking. We covered it all with sheets we'd brought to protect the furniture from dog hair, but it ended up being a 2-way thing. The pillows are very flat and stiff, the sort you can get at Walmart for $5 for a 2 pack, and we regretted not bringing our own.

    The sheets and towels were clean, and the mattress fairly comfortable. The location is great, and there's a huge grass lawn behind the cabins that is great for people traveling with dogs.

    There were dozens of dead bugs on the bedding . The manager immediately changed all the bedding for us. The noise of the rodents in the walls and the kitchen cabinets kept me awake most of the night. The outward appearance of the kitchen area was clean but upon opening a drawer it was full of rodent feces.

    The manager was very friendly. The location was perfect for our needs.the newly remodeled shower was tiny but nice.

    Where to start, No one to greet us Lots of insects in the cabin AC did not work very well Food left on the floor Toilet seat that only fits 10 and under Shower was moldy Given the choice of driving to Omak or Wenatchee keep driving or sleep in your car. At half the price it would have been overpriced.

    Not much
