Fall foliage trip

Stay was very enjoyable. Online listing stated that there was hot tubs which was not the case. This was the main reason we booked the cabin

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The cabin was very clean. The location and check-in instructions were extremely clear. Also, the view from the small screened porch was very nice. There were a few minor complaints. The bed was too soft for me. The WiFi wasn’t very reliable, but that’s to be expected in a remote location. Also, the parking lot was gravel and rutted, so it was a little tricky for us older folks to navigate especially when carrying bags. I would definitely stay here again, though. Thanks for the clean, well-equipped cabin.

Due to poor communication we never were able to get to the cabin. Host blames vrbo and vrbo says no problem occurred. Very dissatisfied with vrbo and host.
