Disappointed

We arrived and the code did not work, we were told it “would be a long shot but try the window.” I’m guessing the unlocked window has been used more than once. This place has floor tiles coming up, it’s not clean, torn hot tub cover, broken pool and foosball table. The shower head came to my nose so my husband had a really hard time showering. Dry wall is awful. It needs so much work. The game room says separate entrance which means it is not accessible from the inside of the house so it was pointless for our young kids. They had to sleep on the couch bed instead which has springs poking through. I spoke to the owner about all this. No refunds, no help, no nothing. This place looks way better in photos. Please read this before you book!

Needs some major TLC

This is a quaint property with lots of potential but it needs some major TLC. I have informed the manager of the list of issues. It seems to me that they are not giving this property any attention that it needs. I fixed some of the simple issues for them that I was able to assit with (doornobs loose and loose bolts on bunk bed). The manager only offered a reduced price stay if we came back. Without a functional laundry dryer, broken kitchen sink, non-functional ceiling fan, small bath towels and too few of bath towels helped make my decision easy... we will not be back to this property. This was also our first Vrbo ever... I am really worried that the rest are just like this.

A Nice Reclusive Visit

This property is located far off the beaten path without being too far of a drive from the city. We had no issues with anything on the property and the owners were very responsive. The kitchen is well stocked with dishware and equipment. The fire pit was an unexpected and welcomed addition to our stay. Overall, a very nice rental cabin for our budget!

Best Yet!

The cabin was just wonderful. Clean and had everything we needed. Loved having coffee on the deck in the morning. It was just such a beautiful place. I want to do it again in the Fall to see the colors. The hot tub was so nice after a long day of sightseeing. The cherry on top of the cake was when 4 bears came to visit us. Got some really great pictures of them. Was hard to come home and leave it behind.
