We booked this property because of the private hot tub, rustic furniture, smaller square footage and the nearly 5 star reviews. Upon entering there was a strong musty odor and we had to leave all the windows open for the first day to air it out. The rustic living room furniture definitely felt rustic and was extremely uncomfortable to sit on, especially being 7 months pregnant. Fortunately, the king size bed was comfortable and after a decent night’s sleep, we woke refreshed to notice an improvement to the smell of the house.
Going to the kitchen to start breakfast, the 1960s stove would not turn on. After spending about 30 minutes looking for a switch, reading the binder and even googling the instruction manual, I had to call Vacasa for assistance. Stephanie was helpful and said she would send maintenance over. Johnny from maintenance called 30 minutes later and tried walking me through how to get it working saying, “this stove is very old and I get calls about it all the time.” Unable to resolve it over the phone he said it would be about 30 minutes and he would come take a look. He was very polite, professional and friendly when he arrived. It ended up being the circuit breaker switch was turned off. All in all, it was about 2 hours before we could begin making breakfast which is not ideal for someone who again is 7 months pregnant. It would be extremely helpful to include troubleshooting information for the stove in the information binder, I would also include in that, checking the circuit breaker because had we thought to check this, we would have been able to start cooking much sooner.
After eating, we jumped online to try to find a hike for the day and found that the internet kept kicking us off about every 2-5 minutes. It was such a hassle that we decided to just search while in the car.
All in all, the location is great and the home was clean but we wish we would have sprung for a location with more up to date amenities.
