This cabin was cozy and perfectly located between Hawks Nest Snow Tubing and Otter Falls hiking trails.Our teenage boys loved the bedroom with the loft. And the dining table was plenty large enough for our party of 7 to eat dinner and play games.A couple of notes - the fireplace puts off a pretty strong gas smell when it lights, but it clears up after a few minutes. There is a carbon monoxide monitor on a shelf next to the fireplace as well.If the driveway is icy, you can reach out to request ice melt be spread or just bring some with you.There is a coffee maker in the kitchen, it will brew up to 12 cups but uses the cone shaped filters, not the traditional ones.
The house was very good but some small improvements would help. The house was too dark for my taste. The photo on the website was bright but all the light bulbs were very dim and lampshades were dark. Bedside table lantern lamp did not work at all. Reading lights were rare. Overall lighting in home was poor. Seemed to be several cobwebs around. Porch furniture was worn and needed cushions. Most sitting chairs in great room were not comfortable, seating cushions needed replacing. Master bathtub was slippery and I actually fell, but not hurt.... a potential liability. Bathroom off front door had very strong mold smell. Nice to have had a product like 409 available to wipe down counters. Code to unlock front door excessively long.
This stay ( not really as we had to leave early) was nothing short of a nightmare.Our below communication with VACASA management will summarize the situation. We will be asking VRBO for refund. In the meantime we will be working with credit card company to dispute the charges We will post pictures if possible.Conversation with VACASAHere is the situation. The tech guy came at around 9 am and could not fix the issue and left. we have not been able to commumicate with outside world since the time we checked in. We have been very patient but cannot be without internet or phone any longer.We are leaving now. The door is locked, lights turned off and trash stowed away.We will not be returning and expect full refund for the stay.We would probably left last night if you had not assured us and if it were safe to do so.This has been a horrible experience. You have ruined thr vacation for my mother who was visiting us from abroad.Internet working was the most important requirement for a place like this where cell phone does not work. We would have never booked a place without a working WIFI. It was your responsibility to ensure that it was working before we checked in. Half of our stay is over and it was still not workingThis is not the only problem though-1. Bathroom sink is clogged. Pictures taken.2. Bathroom door does not lock. Pictures taken.3. No paper towel in kitchen. Had to use toilet paper. Pictures taken.We expect a full refund without any delay.
The property was extremely clean and nicely decorated. We had no kitchen cloths for drying dishes or wiping down countertops so we had to purchase. We were happy to see the sleds left downstairs and the children enjoyed sledding at Boone Town Hall for free! Overall a very nice place to stay!
Nice cabin with plenty of room. Driveway a little steep but to be expected in this area.
Cabin was clean and had everything we needed to relax, cook, and enjoy the mountains.
We enjoyed staying in BearFoote Chalet. It was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again. All information and communication was great.
The location of the place is very good. And the place itself is nice. But The house wasnât clean good. I guess the beds were changed and the floor was swept in the living room. But it wasnât clean properly. All kitchen cabinets were greasy. There were crumbs in all the drawers and some dishes were dirty. The floor also was sticky, there was pieces of food in the corners on the kitchen floors and very dirty under the beds and the couch.
The management wasnât so great also. The night before the check out snowed so much and in the morning all the roads were icy and snowed. The incline of the driveway to get to the house is very high. If you donât have a truck you will hit the bottom of your car 100 percent. I asked if we can do check out at 11 am instead of 10 am to clean up the driveway and to let the ice to melt a little. And I didnât want the kids to wait outside for an hour. I was afraid that my car will just slide down to the woods as soon as I will start going down on this driveway. I have been told that we canât wait until 11 and we need to leave. We checked out at 10 am but still stayed down the road to wait until the ice will melt. There was no cleaners or new guests coming for another 2 hours that we were outside.
Great home with good atmosphere. As described. No issues. But the driveway is very narrow with an awkward entrance and very very steep. But that was disclosed in the listing. A great location with a very cool friendly vibe. Everything you need, nothing you donât.
In the description it isn't very clear as to what room is the master. When we arrived the bigger bathroom was by the room that had a loft over it. In no way does anyone want the master to share a loft for kids. Both bathroom were detached from the rooms. There were absolutely no hangers to put away clothes. The room with bunkbeds didnt have a closet or dresser to store clothes. There kitchen was outdated and the garbage disposal kept stopping up. The crock pot that was there was from the 80s and the pans were useless. Everything stuck to them no matter how much butter or cooking spray you used. The house was very dark and is in very much need of more lighting. There was 15 differnt switches in every room. We called on the first day about the house smelling like propane and we didn't receive a call back for almost 2 days. No one came out, they just said the gas fireplace didn't have an exhaust fan. We had to leave doors or windows open to vent the house so it didn't smell like propane. The stairs that go down to vehicle parking area were not lit at all! It was very dangerous to try to walk down at night. You had to shine your cell phone light to be able to walk down it without breaking your neck.
The driveway was almost impossible for us to use. We have a full size SUV and it was very hard to pull in and out of without scrubbing the front or back of the truck coming into it. You also had to back down the driveway because there wasn't enough room to turn around. You also had to come in from the other access road to the property and drive and extra 3/4 mile because the turn into the driveway was impossible from the short way in. All in all the stay was not worth the price at all. I wouldn't recommend this property.
Everything was as expected, or better. Great views from inside and outside! The listing was accurate, and the place was nice and cozy. The driveway is steep, and I was nervous parking upon arrival... But by the second day, it was a walk in the park.
Vacasa service was extremely poor and non-existent when our family was faced with very difficult conditions. We got stuck without food in the cabin when the driveway was covered with a sheet of ice. There were 2 snow shovels, but no salt was provided. I made multiple calls to the number Vacasa gave me for help, but they never followed up. Fortunately, the park rangers in the area were unbelievably good and finally delivered food to our cabin around 9:30 pm. When the temperature drops to -10 or so, we lost the power and cabin got really cold. We left the cabin one day early. I do not recommend this place during the winter.
All positive. Two things, bring hangers there are none. What we considered the non master broom(small bath) had Two large bureaus , the master bedroom had two skimpy drawers
Property was very clean and we had everything we needed. Having a washer dryer was a plus. Beds were really comfortable. Large TVs in each bedroom and den. Having a covered back deck was really beneficial because there was an afternoon shower almost every day so we could sit outside and read. The other reviews talked about the steep driveway and they werenât kidding! I have been to many mountain homes and this was definitely steep. Do-able, but steep. Enjoyed the week!
