Great ski week away
Cozy cabin good for 3 groups with plenty of room. But one bedroom has no heat source so management dropped off a space heater

Nice home, but bad vrbo service
It's a nice home in a nice location. But there was a problem with a dead battery with E-lock at the check-in. Vrbo has handled the situation really badly by refusing to help and forcing us to get to an area with cell phone coverage, when there was none near the home. Further requests to resolve the problem by accommodating our requests or providing any compensation for a failed on time check-in process were denied. I got nothing except for "we're sorry, but it's your problem, suck it up".
Messages take a long time to respond, every time it's a different person, and I couldn't get to the host.
Very unprofessional approach by vrbo.
Lovely quiet hidaway
Well stocked kitchen plenty of dishes towels etc for a full house of nine. Very quiet location.

luxury camping
Me, my daughter, and her friends all enjoyed staying here at the cabin, We did 2 nights and came from Stockton. The drive up wasn’t too bad and the cabin had enough beds for all of us. I recommend staying here if you want the camping experience without having to stay in tents.
