Nice cozy cabin near to many areas
We had 100% difficulty reaching the "local" Vacasa office to determine if the house was in an affected area by Hurricane Helene and had Wi-Fi restored. I kept getting a Caribbean office, which was very frustrating.
We took our chances and made the trip. We arrived at 4:30 after receiving 2 notices that the unit was ready and clean for a 4:00 check-in. Once we came up a very (typical for this area) primitive road (which in most cases would require a 4WD, we found this beautiful home. However, there was a car there. Upon going to the door we were greeted with 3 small boys playing. Later a man and woman came and said they were cleaning the property, that it was last minute because of an emergency with the regular cleaner.
We had no issues while waiting for them to finish cleaning.
However when they left and we got unloaded I wanted to freshen up. The towels in the main bathroom had make up stains on them and were damp. I decided to wash them myself for my peace of mind. The washing machine was very dirty in the inner plastic ring and the dispenser drawer. I proceeded to wash the towels but it took all night for them to dry. The dryer does not heat up.
We reported this to the local agent (which we had not prior to the trip been able to reach). She said she would send someone out and compensate us.
Chairs in the den are NOT recliners as represented.
We will not use VACASA again. This house was nice and comfortable and a nice place to stay if the washer/dryer are fixed

Could be nice
The house is in a fantastic location and could be a very nice place to stay, but it’s not being maintained by the corporate owner. Many things wrong in the home, including water damage in the basement which caused drywall damage, high humidity, and mold growth. The inattentiveness of whoever is responsible for maintaining the home is apparently oblivious to details such as the mismatched brands for the coffee maker and carafe…they don’t work together. These same details and more were reported to the corporate home owners, VACASA, but I haven’t heard from them whatsoever since.

Better than the pictures!
Every experience I've had with Vasca has been excellent. They don't try to make the home more than it is. If anything, they underrepresented with the photos.
Also, it's just all the little things that are available. They have tons of spices for you to cook with, really good cookware to use. There are plenty of additional pillows and blankets.
The property itself is gorgeous and secluded. We will definitely stay here again!
