Great stay overall

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. Got to see bull elk fighting in the yard below the deck. We were safe watching from the deck. Got to see a bear in the wild. The cabin was clean for the most part. Except for some rather large cobwebs in plain sight. We had plenty of towels except for a bath mat to step on out of the shower. Overall all a great place.

Outdated

This property had old broken blinds up and the decor is very outdated. There was no room for you to turn around your vehicle. You could pull in but could not turn around to get off the property, without backing up at least 3 times and I was in a small suv.

Dirty

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the cabin that we stay in but not to my surprise it was not clean, we stay there in Dec. 2019, not clean then, this time is was still dirty as it was before. The kitchen was clean, but floor were dirty, I brought my mop from home and moped the floor, toilet was dirty, I cleaned with my cleaners, the return on the air unit was had lint on the outside, the filter looked like it had not been changed in years. I went to Ingles and bought another one and replaced the old one. A sock was laying beside the bed from the prior renter, that tells me the floor was not swept. I did bring my own towels, sheets, toilet paper, paper towels, because when I made the reservations I ask about how clean is the cabin cleaned, I was told, it was by the CDC guide lines. Not so, my husband's immune system is not very stable, that was the reason for my questions. Immune system being not so good or not, that is no reason for the cabins to be nasty. We wanted to stay at Christmas, but I am not spending all that money, and have to be house cleaning. By the way we did not stay six nights as planned, we only stayed 5 nights, and did not ask for a refund.I will try to find another place to stay using Vrbo

We Loved It!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is fantastic. Right in the middle of it all and convenient to everything. The room was spacious and clean and the jacuzzi and fireplace really knocked it out of the park. The WiFi is weak if you’re trying to work, but I used my mobile data to boost when needed, and was thankful in the end to make the trip a little less work and more play.
