I loved my stay in this well appointed cabin. Despite having a very difficult check in process, which was eventually rectified, my stay was lovely.I appreciate the abundance of towels, luxurious sheets, and well stocked to kitchen. Even though the listing says to bring your own cooking supplies, there were a lot of “leftover supplies“ from other guests, so you’ll be able to get through a day or two without a problem if you’re cooking. I would have liked to have seen the exterior deck cleaned and a little better maintained. Also, they did make full disclosure that there’s a security camera out on the front porch.Directions to get to the cabin or a little confusing so don’t be alarmed if you get lost like I did lolI would definitely return to this cabin for a possible summer vacation
First better have four wheel drive to get to cabin. Cause if it has rained driveway is very steep & muddy. Cabin had an awful smell of ammonia upon arrival. Thought may have been just from being closed up with no a/c on. So we unpacked turned a/c on. Went out for dinner. Came back few hours later to be overwhelmed with the smell of ammonia- urine had only got way worse. Reached out to host. Got a reply they would have cleaner there at 8a.m. The next morning. We couldn’t sleep with the smell. So we had to resort to booking a hotel. For our stay in Townsend. We refused to spend our vacation moving back & forth between hotel & cabin. Host refuses to refund us for prepaid stay. Even tho Vrbo agrees that we should be refunded. I would not recommend renting from this host. They seem to be money hungry. In stead having satisfied customers!
The night we arrived, the overnight lows were in the teens, but the heaters had been left off prior to our arrival. The cabin was an icebox.We cranked up both heaters to max and left for dinner hoping we'd come back to a warmer cabin, but arriving a couple hours later, one of the units was knocking loudly and putting out no heat whatsoever, and the other was barely putting out heat either. We messaged the owners who claimed that the one heater by the bed should be sufficient to heat the whole cabin. We were skeptical, but we decided to try to tough it out a bit longer.We tried running the gas fireplace, but its heat was mostly going up the chimney anyway. It got so bad we even tried running the oven and boiling water on the stove.Eventually, we came to our senses and drove an hour back home, arriving close to 1:00 in the morning, but at least we had heat.In spite of these issues, the owners have been unwilling to work with us, even going so far as to claim that there's nothing wrong with the heat!It's been hard to tell who we're dealing with, as all communication has been through the VRBO portal, and I've variously received messages that seem to come from the actual owners, and other messages that are clearly from some representative. I wouldn't trust these people with your vacation. Look elsewhereAlso: the road to the cabin is VERY steep and narrow with sharp turns. Think very carefully if you feel comfortable doing 3-or-more-point turns on the side of a mountain
