Cabin looked good from the outside, inside cobwebs, spiders, stove was nasty also inside the oven. Spatulas was gross need replaced. Pots and pans scratched and had chips on them. Pulled sheet down on the king size bed there sat a rock in the bed which my husband laid on for days. Shower and bathtub is so slippery that they should have had bathmats in them all. A/c Only cooled downstairs not upstairs. Also missing screens upstairs, we could only open one window, so it was very hot. We also had to listen to the construction work being done our whole stay right across from the cabin., from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. Which was bad enough however the traffic through the neighborhood is like a freeway nonstop all day and night. also where we stayed there was no sight of mountain views where we stayed. Very disappointed in all. Will not be staying there ever again!

We never would have found another pet friendly cabin last minute. We made the best of it and I cleaned what I could.I hope whomever rents this cabin next has better luck

Place was ok for the money and the time we went during Labor Day weekend! The cabin needs updates and needs a deep cleaning! The carpets are very dirty and there was tons of spider webs on ceiling area and the fan in bathrooms were very dusty and looked like they have never been cleaned! The cabin was in a great neighborhood, that was covered with cabins and tons of out of towners, but everyone was nice, check in was easy, rental was easy and reasonable, and the outside the yard and landscaping was clean and well groomed. The front porch was very clean and relaxing. There had definitely been a bear out back of this cabin there was bear poop and he/she had ate a turtle shell still there. We had a good experience just wished it had been cleaner and more updated.

Great location

Overall it was a pretty good cabin, just wished it had been a little cleaner on the inside and unfortunately the prior people who had stayed didnt clean up after their dogs so you had to watch your step around the property. Our biggest complaint overall would definitely be there were lots of bugs on the inside of the cabin that we were constantly killing and or trying to get outside and lots of spider webs on the inside.

Property is in prime location close enough to EVERYTHING but yet still far enough away you still felt like you were in your own little world. Perfect size for me, my husband and our 3 kids.

Great Escape but not for wheelchair access

Loved the cabin and the location. It was not far from anything and easy to get to. Access into the cabin and around the first floor was all good. The first floor bathroom however had some access issues. If you use a wheelchair you could not get to the toilet and the sink is very hard to use also. The shower did not have a hand held shower head either which is very useful to those that use a wheelchair. We had to move the furniture around to gain access to the bed in the downstairs bedroom for the wheelchair user. Yes the cabin is accessible for wheelchair users it just is not totally accessible in all areas. Loved sitting on the front porch. It was wide and plenty of room.

Unsanitary and unsafe

Dust, dead bugs, and mold throughout the house. Mold was on the floorboards in the living room, blinds in the kitchen, and downstairs bath where someone obviously tried to paint over water damage to the wall. The logs of the cabin are rough hewn, which gives a more rustic feel, but also makes it very difficult to clean. But it was clear there had been no effort to clean, as there was thick dust on light fixtures, blinds, and windowsills as well as the cobwebs all over the ceiling and walls. One light fixture had a thick layer of dead bugs piled up at the bottom. My daughter found a dead stinkbug in her bed. There is also the issue of wiring in the upstairs bedroom. There is a powerstrip ziptied to the wall, an extension cord across the room, and the ceiling fan has been wired to a cord that plugs into one of the outlets next to the powerstrip. I did not feel safe staying there with my family. VRBO was no help in resolving the situation, and we ended up paying to stay in a motel for the rest of our trip.

Good for dog friendly stay

Very little carpet, which is great when traveling with dogs. Happened to stay on a pleasant temperature weekend and would have loved to leave windows open to air the place out a bit (smelled a little musty) - but there are no screens on any of the windows. There is a reason no backyard is shown - because there isn't one. However, front yard was plenty big for our pups. Not the most updated cabin, but it worked for us.

Great place to stayfor the 3 of us plus our furbaby. The dog loved the yard to run around in. It needs a few updates but nothing major. Please put some kind of seating on the back porch. We went to town and bought us some camping chairs to sit in while grilling and watching the dog play. I would return here for another stay and will recommend it to others.

Conveniently located

The cabin was located close to attractions but not too close. It was quiet but not secluded. Walt, the property manager, was easy to contact and promptly replied. He was able and willing to fix an issues quickly. The toilets were not clean and there were a lot of cobwebs. This cabin would be convenient if you have a family and plan on going to attractions. We never had to drive more than 20 minutes even with heavy traffic.
