Very difficult to find the lodge, need a posted address sign. No cell phone service which made locating the house even more difficult; not the owners fault but this is why improved signage would help. . The steps from the back door as well as the steps going to the lower level were a challenge to maneuver as well as dangerous, especially for children and seniors. A railing down the center of the stairs going to the lower level would be helpful. There were no night lights. It would have been helpful to let us know that we should bring paper towels, plates and silverware. Given the size of our group, the provided dishes and silverware were not adequate. The pots and pans were old and scratched up. The outlets on the island were not working. We also had to make several trips into town for ice, drinking water, toilet paper, paper towels and other cleaning supplies. There was no Tupperware, aluminum foil, saran wrap and hand soap. If we would have known, we would have brought our own. The lodge could also use a good deep cleaning. We could only sit on the deck in the very early morning because it got so hot and there was no umbrella or shade at all.
It may sound like we are nitpicking but as VRBO owners ourselves, we always strive to provide the best accommodations possible for our guests. We also had a situation that I would prefer talking to the owners about if they care to reach out.
