Decent Home, Musty, HIGH FEES
This "old cabin-like" home is conveniently located on the Tunnel of Trees. Arrival and entering the home proved easy. The cabin has all the necessary items for a stay including books and good Internet. Pet friendly, the cabin has a good yard for small dogs. Some might consider the cabin quaint. There are scented candles provided. You will need the candles.
Having owned many old homes, it's easy to see the home simply has a lot of deferred maintenance. Its best years are well behind it. The smell is overwhelming and musty; the odor never left during our stay but did diminish with candles and open windows. We tried to use the split unit for air upon arrival but it never worked. With moderate effort, we were able to open windows. With windows open, lots of noises enter the home, but at night the noises abate.
With all the deferred maintenance, you can easily tell this cabin is for one thing and one thing only, generating revenue. The additional fees on a 3-night stay calculated to a whopping 36%, several hundred dollars. This fee includes a night mandatory damage fee. The fee structure does NOT include taxes.
VRBO seems to be the middle man for money only. There are no instructions from VRBO on how to enter the home. The application simply says the owner will contact you. The owner did provide directions, but they should be available through the application on your phone.
Don't recommend.
