Cabin was already occupied by a young man who was there for another 2 weeks.

Upon arrival we could no get into the cabin. I called the local management team. Was able to open door to cabin to find a man inside who had the cabin rent to till mid August. Management team sent a cleaning person and this resolved nothing. I had to reach out to VRBO directly to get request a full refund. I spoke to a person with VRBO and got a claim filed for a refund. However nether the management company or VRBO was able to find us other accommodations. We had go find a place to stay on our own. I felt the manangement company was not any help at all.
