After a stressful trip here because of lost signal I walked into a very clean little tiny house, the lights were on and soft music was playing. Truly a breath of fresh air. The host was great, she texted immediately after each question (above and beyond for sure). If I ever come back to this area I'll book here again.

We enjoyed our stay at Moonlight at Mentone. This was our first visit to the area. We found the location great for our outdoor activities of hiking/swimming and paddleboarding. Enjoyed our time at the cabin and found it to fit our needs perfectly. Internet was sketchy at times but that wasn't a real issue as that was not the purpose of our outing. Quiet little community of tiny homes. Host descriptive about property and communication was good. Would stay here again.

Finding the location of the residence was very difficult. But once there the residence was very clean and was well equipped. We did find 2 large black bugs and a spider inside the residence and a large dead field rat in the driveway.

Disappointed

I have already shared my concerns but since you have asked, I will share on this platform. As I suspected yesterday but could not prove, this home has mice. Just saw it with my own eyes in the upstairs bedroom this morning and evidence in the kitchen. Additionally, the home lacks in cleanliness. The sofa in living area is worn and dirty. Lastly, these homes need dishwashers. It is not sanitary savy to rely on guests to hand wash dishes.

Housekeeping is a joke.

We arrived to find a litter of cats living on the porch. The Vrbo page showed a beautiful outdoor fireplace & comfy furniture, but the cats live there & apparently housekeeping doesn’t clean the front porch. The cushions were covered in cat hair & questionable stains. So unfortunately we never got to use the front porch. When we walked into the cabin, the temperature was 55 degrees! We tried & tried to adjust the temperature using the thermostat on the wall but the heat never would come on. We noticed a heater above the door & a remote control attached to the wall. No matter what buttons we pressed, nothing made the heat come on. We realized that there were 3 wall units and remotes in this little cabin & none of them seemed to work. One remote even had dead batteries. I eventually messaged the host through Vrbo & they sent complicated instructions on how to work the heat. Something about all the modes had to match? Turning on the heat should not be that complicated. We eventually got the heat to turn on but it was by accident. We were never able to adjust it again so we just had to accept whatever temperature it was on. Thanksgiving morning, all 7 of us wanted to take showers. Unfortunately, there were only 5 bath towels, 3 wash cloths & 1 hand towel for the 7 of us. We messaged the host but they were not able to tell us when some towels would arrive. So we made do using some pool towels we had brought, & some of us skipping showers.
