Great location, no internet whole trip, needed cleaning

Upon arrival at the house, entry was easy. Sit up things and had no internet nor cable, called the 800 number many, many times and they kept saying it had been given to the local manager, whom never called and when we left today, neither was still not working. The entry walkway needed to be swept and front door area, deck had duck poop all over the benches, the second bedroom small patio was very dirty and needed to be swept clean, the screen door is broken and the handle fell over in my hand. The screen door leading from the inside to the deck was also broken so we could not leave the door open and enjoy the fresh air. If Vacasa spent as much time fixing issues and responding to clients as they have asking for a review/survey, they would greatly benefit from their efforts. I was so very disappointed I cannot tell you. I had to work and without the internet, it was not fun I can assure you. I would like to know how you plan to compensate us for this messf????

I won't recommend this property until repairs are made!

The fireplace don't work ! The back bedroom sliding glass door is inoperable ! There's a leak in the kitchen over the sink in the ceiling ! The fountain and lights in the pond have never worked in three visits ! The antique bed in the master bedroom's springs squeak every time you move ! This property needs maintenance badly !

Our Summer Vacation in the Mtns

The house and property was was excellent condition. We had everything we needed. House was high enough on the mountain but close enough to town. House stocked with all essentials and clean. We like to thank the folks who take care of the house and property in making our experience AWESOME!!!! Wish we could have stayed longer...... We will be back to this house in the future. Checking in and out was a breeze and simple. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful place for my wife, mother in law and myself. PERFECT VACATION PLACE!!!!

Peaceful (to a point) Cabin with a Pond!!!

The cabin/pond was gorgeous - I would give this property an A+. The check in process was a nightmare - after driving 8 hours it took another hour and a half trying to get a hold of someone for the access code. Once we entered the cabin, there was no WIFI password provide - another 2 hours wasted trying to gain this info. As far as peace and quiet - our check out was Wednesday, Tuesday a crew came out and cut the grass for 2 1/2 hours (couldn't it have waited until we checked out on Wednesday?) I would rate VRBO on this rental with a D-

Great visit

We loved our stay here and it is our 2nd time to stay at this property. We love the spacious landscaping and beautiful yard and creeks. Everything was a great experience for us except for the wooden benches on the deck. There's a lot of nails that need to be hammered in. A couple of us had their pants rip because of them. If there was a small hammer in the tool drawer in the kitchen then we could have fixed them while we were there.
