It was not awful. It is advertised as no central air but it sais they have window units. The window units were off when we arrived so it was very uncomfortable the first night. Also, the yard was not cut and the rubber on the steps were not glued down so my brother tripped and busted his elbow while we were bringing our kayaks to the back yard with no dock. The cabin was also not clean. Dishes were put away dirty, a pair of old shoes were left in the living room, and multiple spiders had made homes in the downstairs bathroom. Finally, the only TV in the house had an issue maintaining connection with anything (wifi and phones). It would connect and then immediately kick it off. We contacted the number provided for assistance and were told someone would come out the first day and we would be kept in the loop. Nobody came out and nobody responded until we asked for a partial refund. They finally responded by telling us that this is a common issue and to try connecting another way which also did not work. I wont say we had a miserable experience because that would be dramatic and a lie. I will say though that a reasonable amount of effort to accommodate guests was not provided and would have made our vacation much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend the area but not this cabin.
I have used Vrbo many times and always check the comments. Never left one before, but I have also not had a bad experience like this either. The location of the property and the check in check out process was pretty easy. There were a couple things I told management right away there were broken items and missing pieces to things. In the photos you can see a wood stove and a fireplace. The wood stove is obviously not hooked up but the fireplace was not allowed to be used either, although there was 2 pieces of wood left. The slider door did not open as well. Iâm not sure why it would be locked. The other thing I noticed right away was there was no pantry items. Just pepper. So if your going to be cooking a lot make sure you bring spices and oils ect. Another thing is it says no pets allowed. But has dog/cat doors and pet bowls as well. So if you are allergic to dogs or cats I would reconsider. I gave the cleanliness a low score because there was a ton of dust on the walls and cob webs along with garbage under the couches you could see when you put up the recliners. If you go in the winter the heat control is on the bottom floor. So if the heat is turned up to warm up the bottom floor it becomes stifling hot upstairs. The shower head squeaks so we had to take quick showers. And the bathroom sink kept making a god awful sound in the middle of the night which we told management about that as well. Personally I would not stay somewhere with a management company instead of a host.
House is wonderful and was perfect for our group of five which consisted of my husband and I, our daughter and grandchildren. There was plenty of room for all of us! The bedrooms are air conditioned which is great for the summer months. The main living room featured four comfortable lazy boy chairs and beautiful views of the lake. The deck was spacious featuring a gas fireplace which we enjoyed in the evenings. The deck was perfect for sitting and watching the loons. The house had plenty of towels including towels to be used for the lovely beach which is a two minute drive from the house.
I took one star off because the TV didnât work for our entire stay which was six days. After several conversations with the VACASA management team and being told someone would come out to rectify the issue, no one ever came out to the house. Therefore, it did not get resolved. This was more a reflection of not being able to speak directly to the owner who would be most knowledgeable about connecting the TV to the internet instead of having to go through a management company.
Overall we were very happy with our stay and would definitely return!
The house, location and views were wonderful. Home was clean and comfortable. Only issue was air conditioning, only units are in bedrooms on upper floor. No air on main living area. Temps were mid 90's and we had to keep one bedroom air unit off because the power would go off on the kitchen if we used all 4 units. Just check to see of owner resolved before going. Other then that it was a beautiful place!
This rental was perfect! Lovely views of the lake from the deck and back bedrooms. Plenty of space for our group to hangout and relax. Beds were comfortable and plenty of pillows and towels were available. I would rent this property again!
