Hot tub is great. Location is great. House is spacious. Beds comfortable. Decoration items are a bit creepy for my taste - and you can’t really see them on the pictures. Cleanliness should be improved, some spider webs in places and dishes not so clean. Feels like a few spots were missed when cleaning was done. To check-in/out, you have to go pick up the keys at office and bring back after. Not terrible but nowadays there are easier ways to check-in. Overall, house is fine for a few days.

Because VRBO kept rejecting my mild review I now label this rental bad. Wifi is terrible and can be cured with $169 EERO or similar mesh system Speaker on main TV is terrible and can be corrected with a cheap external speaker

The cabin was cozy with two fireplaces. Had Christmas with family and couldn’t have picked a better place to relax.

They advertised that the hot tub does not work sometimes therefore I emailed the manager to confirm that it does currently work and they never responded. Got there and it was apparent it hadn’t worked in some time. Heat didn’t work downstairs and the temp inside was 56 degrees. Manager did bring us some space heaters which helped. Cobwebs seen all over the house. A tree had fallen on the roof and was left there Great location and could be an awesome property if it were maintained better

This property has potential. But looks very neglected outside and there is clearly a leak from the upstairs bathroom into the master bedroom closet where black mold was 2‘ x 1‘ staining the ceiling and the whole house is horribly musty. Master bedroom linens are 30+ years old and the bedspread I would not want to touch. Pillows are horrible. There is an extreme problem with the Bears the trash barrels that are not secured tied down. Did not appreciate the management making that our problem. Deck furniture is extremely old cushions need to be thrown out. Spiderwebs on the inside of the windows blinds and the whole outside of the house is pressure washing. Front steps are extremely dangerous and very very slippery when it was raining due to moss growing on them as well as The stone walkway going from the driveway to the front door. I would be very hesitant to ever use VRBO again.
