The place was disappointing to us. Coffee maker was loaded with moldy coffee. The BBQ grill was not really a gas grill. It was an old propane grill with no knobs, no propane - but had a tin foil pan in the burner area. I guess you were supposed to use charcoal? Instructions said to leave trash on porch by 10 am for pickup - not once was it picked up. Very sparse in terms of the things you need. Six forks but sleeps 8. The dishwasher -You had to go to the basement to reset the circuit breaker each time you wanted to run it. There were so many things wrong - we were disappointed. Admittedly, we should have called the manager/owner, but we were not there to deal with all the issues. Some of this was just wrong from the start. To us, it wasn't a place we'd ever stay again or recommend.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 May 2026
We are disappointed to read this review, especially since no concerns were communicated to us during the stay despite the guest messaging us multiple times both before arrival and daily after departure. We even contacted the guest during their stay to see how everything was asked if they needed anything and received no response. Had we been made aware of any issues during the stay, we would have gladly addressed them immediately, as guest satisfaction is extremely important to us. A few points in this review are also misleading. We do not advertise a gas grill anywhere in our listing — the property is equipped with a charcoal grill, which is clearly stated in the listing details. Additionally, our house rules explain that trash pickup requires guests to place the trash outside by 10am and contact the number provided so our team knows it is ready for pickup. No communication regarding trash pickup was ever sent. This is a budget-friendly mountain cabin rental, not a luxury resort, and we work very hard to provide a clean, comfortable, and accurately represented experience at a fair price point. The overwhelming majority of our guests leave very positive reviews and appreciate the value, location, and mountain atmosphere the cabin offers. It is also unfortunate that prior to leaving this review, the guest indicated they would wait to review the property depending on whether compensation was offered. We always encourage honest, fair feedback, but reviews should reflect the actual stay experience rather than be tied to refund expectations. We appreciate all feedback that helps us improve, but we also believe future guests should have the full context when reading reviews.
