Fall foliage trip

Stay was very enjoyable. Online listing stated that there was hot tubs which was not the case. This was the main reason we booked the cabin

The cabin was very clean. The location and check-in instructions were extremely clear. Also, the view from the small screened porch was very nice. There were a few minor complaints. The bed was too soft for me. The WiFi wasn’t very reliable, but that’s to be expected in a remote location. Also, the parking lot was gravel and rutted, so it was a little tricky for us older folks to navigate especially when carrying bags. I would definitely stay here again, though. Thanks for the clean, well-equipped cabin.

Due to poor communication we never were able to get to the cabin. Host blames vrbo and vrbo says no problem occurred. Very dissatisfied with vrbo and host.
