We took a group of college students here over MLK weekend. It was great for us with plenty of space. The view is beautiful! If you come expecting luxury, this is not the cabin for you. The beds overall were comfortable though and the sheets were clean. The kitchen had enough items for what we needed but you will want to bring any specialty kitchen items. The main issue I had with the cabin was cleanliness. Again, it’s great for a group of teenagers/college students. We had a dirty towel left hanging in our bathroom and several windows had been left open the day we arrived. We had to clean up leaves that had blown in from rain that day. I reached out to the owners the day we arrived, and they were willing to make it right if needed. We plan to stay here again in the future if we bring another group of college students, but I would like to see the cleanliness aspect improve before guests arrive since many reviews address the issue.

Great location and view of Mt Conte. Rustic wood cabon.

Many bedrooms with attached bath. However there is NO common bathroom so anyone staying in the many bunk beds will have to walk through a bedroom and disturb it’s occupants at any hour of the day.
The mattresses on the bunk beds were pretty bad according to the adults that slept in them. Seems like fold up mattresses as they had creases and not comfortable.
LOCK your car doors. Bears will open them!

Good property, amaaaaaazing views and location. House is big but well used and probably needs a big deep clean and some upkeep. Carpets have many stains, linens are worn, and hottub is smaller, doesn't heat up well, and jets are limited. Newer sofas on main floor and other sofas well worn. Kitchen has the basics. Bring more gear as needed for sure. But for an affordable family vaca or friends retreat works extremely well. And location and view with coffee is awesome!!
Vacasa did amazing with communication and really upped the service levels! C

I'll start with the positive, as this home was huge and had private rooms and bsthrooms for all and the view was stunning!! However, these were the only positives of our stay here. I'm not here to publicly shame anyone and I'd like a phone call to discuss our stay. I emailed last week and sent a huge text to the text service and no one has responded to either in over a week. Very disappointed in that.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay at this cabin. We maxed out our group at 32 people, which it slept comfortably. One downside is all of the bathrooms are within king bedrooms, which was a pain for those in the bunks. The house has a beautiful view and was very clean. Kitchen decently well stocked, missing some basics. We went during a snow storm, and mountain was well salted, and we had no difficulty getting to the house. I agree with past comments about wishing their was more seating on the porches. Hot tub was clean and very nice. Vacasa was NOT good at responding to my questions before our trip, which was the most frustrating aspect of the trip. At one point, they even emailed me saying that our trip was cancelled despite us moving in. They added a lot of extra stress to our vacation. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience with the cabin!

The views are amazing! All the bedrooms are en suite which was great. What was strange was there was no furniture to sit on in two of the three living spaces. There was no hand soap provided and only two trash bags. Bring your own toiletries too. But the beds were great! Another strange thing is there is no bathroom for guests. Only the bathrooms in each bedroom. Two of the bedrooms had blinds missing too.

The view was amazing and the hot tub was pretty awesome. The guest that did not have a bedroom didn’t have a bathroom to use so that was very challenging when you have 25 people and only 8 bathrooms, all of which are in the bedrooms. So if someone had to use the restroom in the middle of the night they were stuck if everyone was asleep.
The basement smelt so bad and the carpets were very very dirty. There were broken blinds in a few different rooms and there were centipedes crawling all over the place, especially in the bathrooms.
On the middle level, where the kitchen/dinning room was it was very crowded. I think one of the guest before us moved some of the furniture from upstairs. We couldn’t not enjoy the fireplace because of all the furniture that had been moved. If check out is at 10 and we can’t not check in until 4 I think the cleaning team would have plenty of time to get everything back to where is was. Plus we got a e-mail at 4 saying our lodge was ready for check in but when we got there the place was still a little messy and smelt like body odor. In one of the rooms downstairs, the jacuzzi tub was pretty dirty so we couldn’t use it. The only area of the lodge I thought was perfect was the top floor. Everything up there was very clean and the view up there was just breathtaking. I think if the carpets got shampooed a couple times, the windows were clean, the furniture was moved back to where it showed it was when we booked it and there was at least one bathroom for the people who had bunk beds, this stay would have been great. I probably wouldn’t stay in this lodge again.

Nice cabin nice room but very small balcony nice view from inside the living room it is little small for 32 people

The cabin was ok. It was not nearly as clean as I would want it to be. Dust was visible on the blinds, the carpet was dirty (feet would be black), corners were super dusty, bedsheets were dirty. There was one table that sat 8-10 for a property that would hold 32. Kitchen was equipped ok. Two couches were downstairs that I think were supposed to be upstairs. The grills were the tiny blue charcoal ones and neither had grates. The other built in charcoal grills were rusted through the bottom. We visited when temps were in the 90s and there was no air upstairs. Repair man came twice and couldn’t do anything about it, hard to deal with heat and 32 people. Poison ivy was grown up all near the cabin. Someone had dumped trash behind it in the woods. It was not the best experience and definitely NOT what I wanted for what I paid. The views were pretty, I will say that.

Excellent location but poor customer service & locked bathroom
The location is excellent on top of the hill. When arrived found the bathroom locked, called the customer service number and they responded saying someone will be there soon(as they put on high priority) but until checked out no one showed up, leaving 1 bathroom less.

The cabin was well suited for a large group get together. The view was beautiful and even after it snowed 5 inches, the roads around us were cleared in an hour. It's only a short drive down the mountain to be in downtown. There were a few downfalls though too...we found a few mice running around throughout the day on the first floor and it seemed like one of those mice died somewhere in the wall in the downstairs bedroom. The most unfortunate thing is we were really looking forward to getting in the hot tub but the bottom of the tub was dirty and we were nervous to get in it. The upstairs toilet wouldn't work either. Other than that the rooms were very nice, the view awesome and the time spent with family was perfect.

We loved our stay in this massive cabin. Plenty of space for everyone. It is up some steep winding roads but honestly most all of the behind in the mtns are. If you have small children bring 2 baby gates as there are 2 sets of stairs.
Would definitely stay again !!!!

Cabin was nice but definitely needs updates. Hot tub was falling apart and the centipedes were everywhere. Kitchen/dining area was too small for the number of people. We had 16 people and not enough space to eat.

All around it is the little things that matter. This cabin could have been a 5 star. Window curtain gone from upstairs bedroom. Neighbors could see right in. Over all cleanliness was an issue. We had to add water to hot tub. Light fixture broke. No fuse ball table. Mice droppings in cabinets.
Would we go back yes. Could vacasa done a better job yes.
