My group and I have a wonderful time at the property. The host was very attentive and willing to help with any issues if they were to arise. We had no problems the entire weekend. I would definitely rent again in the future.

Bryan is a great communicator and responds immediately to any questions or concerns. Cabin has a that rustic look and snuggled privately away from neighbors. Great outdoor area porch, bbq, and fire pit. Look forward to coming back next year.Freddy C
There were cockroaches inside the home. My wife had one crawl on her in bed. There was cockroach poop on a lot of the wall trim rails. The mini split air conditioners were all broken and clogged with black mold. The air they blew out smelled of overpowering mold. The bathroom ceiling fan vent covers were clogged with what looked like many years of dust and dirt. The toilets and showers were heavily stained with rust. The toilets literally looked like they were blood stained due to the years of rusty water. The shower heads were clogged with rust build up. The kitchen utensils and pots/pans, plates, and silverware were dirty. The grill was unclean and the igniter on the grill was broken. The entire house was quite dusty generally. The windows were all dirty. Neither my wife or myself or our kid slept Wednesday night.
We stayed one of the three nights that we booked. We arrived late on Wednesday night (check in day) and had an event to attend on Thursday morning. We left on Thursday late afternoon after our event was over. I let the host know and confronted him about the situation and he told us to change our mind set because it was a cabin. He is aware and acknowledges that there are cockroaches inside the home. How vrbo/expedia allow this place to be listed is beyond me.

The two fridges were nice to have also . I would definitely recommend staying here and if we plan a Trip next year we will definitely be staying here !
