Upon arrival, the hot tub was cold and the cabin appeared to have not been cleaned in a while. It wasnât nasty or anything, but dusty and some bugs. Let me be clear, everything was fine once we wiped some things down and gave the hot tub hours to heat up. Just seemed like maybe the place hadnât been stayed in for a while. Nice location, but road was a little rough. Amazing view and the hot tub is a nice touch once it has time to get hot. Amenities were adequate, just didnât seem like it was cleaned before our arrival. Overall, positive experience.
Property was poorly maintained. The hot tub did not work, would not get warm, control panel was not attached and that was the main reason we booked. Unable to access the free/discounted attractions, which were another reason I chose this listing. The charcoal grill was old and dirty. Beds were lumpy, time to replace the mattresses. The neighborâs dogs barked at all hours of the night. Could see daylight around the door and in the corner next to the fireplace. Customer service was very hard to get in touch with. Very hard to get into the cabin, with the long access code. No Wi-Fi. Very disappointed.
We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was great and clean. The view was beautiful and enjoyed the deck on the back. It was so peaceful and quiet there also. Not a very far drive at all to the major attractions. Highly recommend this cabin. We will return again.
Charming rustic disappointment when hot tub didn't get above body temp & there was no washer/dryer as advertised. Those were both reasons we chose this place. Otherwise we enjoyed this creaky cabin, the porch the view, he fireplace, the location.
The cabin was poorly maintained. Broken blinds, broken control panel on hot tub. Dirty window and grimy hot tub. Lots of trash and debris surrounding the cabin.
This was our yearly Christmas getaway my wife and I do every year. This cabin is in a good location and has a good view. The problem is inside. Spider webs are in a lot of places, the carpet needs a DEEP clean if not replacing, there was trash in the hot tub, appliances are very old but do function. There is a crockpot that we didn't touch because it appears rusty or something. Shower curtain rod needs replacing. With all that said, this cabin has some potential if it had some TLC. Overall we were just not satisfied with the rental because the pictures didn't seem completely accurate upon our arrival. We left a day early and won't rent this cabin again.
The view was the only part that made staying here worth it. It was obvious on arrival that the owners are not interested in upkeep. The carpet was old and ratty, the appliances look like they are from the 70's, the beds feel like they were taken out of a convertible sofa and in general the property is long overdue for upgrades. The price is purely based on the area and comps, not amenities.
The person I was supposed to stay with got Covid 3 days before our stay and 48 hours before check-in I called to cancel and they would not let me so I went to salvage what I could of the weekend and was very disappointed.
Also when I arrived around 930pm, the outside light was not on either, making it nearly impossible to see the house number.
Pros:
The heat and air conditioning worked well. The view is spectacular.
So if you have money to spend and dont care about value, Its a great getaway. If you care about value, there are many other properties nearby that re providing it. Not sure I will use VRBO again as dealing witht he property management company listing through VRBO seems very un-personal.
Cabin was clean and well appointed. Linens were fresh and clean. Kitchen had all you could need to cook a meal or snacks. Beds were comfortable. Two small things to improve the stay would be better directions about using the keypad to enter, and directions for the TV would have been appreciated. Major drawback was getting to the cabin. Directions were very accurate. Road up the mountain was terrible, rutted, and rough, as well as very narrow. We were there in dry weather, don't know if we could have managed it if it were raining. Overall I think the experience was very good. Definitely appreciate the cleanliness of the cabin.
I loved the location! Very remote & private area with a beautiful view. So glad we did not ride the motorcycle though. That drive to the cabin would not have been well on bike.
The bed is so uncomfortable. That is my biggest complaint. The cabin was clean with clean towels provided, had working fridge and hot water for showers. Air conditioning worked well.
We wondered if later the bottom portion will be finished to accommodate more people?
So there were several hiccups in the beginning but it was all taken care of and the staff at Vacasa was amazing. The view was absolutley amazing!!! If you want a great view definatley book this. The drive is a little scary if youre not used to the mountains. But once you get there its a breeze. Again wonderful staff and amazing view!
This place is exactly what we wanted. The view was absolutly stunning, it's a very secluded cabin. We ran into one issue but it was fixed quick and the company was very helpful. They supply a cabinet full of dishes, cups, silverware, pots and pans, and have extra trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper for your stay. The hot tub wasnt as hot as we had hoped, but if they leave it on hot it will let to much moisture into the cabin and start to mold. Overall the stay was amazing. Secluded cabin but still so close to town, and Townsend is definitely not short on anything to do. I would reccomend staying here.
