This property was nice. It was in need of a deep clean and dusting.
We were charged a cleaning fee, but they (& us) are getting ripped off for sure. This cabin has 3 floors. You enter the cabin on the bottom floor. That’s the coolest area during the Summer. It has a washer/dryer ( they supplied some laundry pods) but I brought detergent, too. This floor has a living area, TV, couch, bedroom with 2 twin beds & a full bath. It smelled very musty upon entering, but I’m a clean freak and I’m sensitive to smell. You remove your shoes at the entrance of the cabin and I love that. Clean freak. We didn’t spend much time on that floor anyway.
The smell dissipated as we ascended the staircase. The 2nd level is the main house. There’s a nice deck off the front, large deck off the back with a hot tub. The hot tub jets didn’t all work but it didn’t matter because we didn’t use it much. (However, you are charged a hot tub fee, so be aware. This Vacasa rental agency charged us SO MUCH in fees, then VRBO charged us fees on top of the rent. This is one reason I will never return to any property managed by Vacasa.) I digress. The second floor has a small bedroom with a queen size bed. Right across the hall is a small bathroom with a shower and sink. They supply towels for the hot tub that are not bath towels , which is nice. Nice size living room, 2 couches dining table and a tv in the upper corner of dining room. Spotty internet, but that’s to be expected. Kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils etc…. We didn’t use any of that except to heat leftovers or eat cereal for breakfast. There were some bugs, flies, spiders and gnats but again, you’re in the woods. It comes with the territory. The 3rd floor is really a loft with a Queen sized bed and half bath, I think. There were just two of us so we stayed on the 2nd floor most of the time. They ask you to load and start the dishwasher before you leave and starting a load of towels is optional, but welcomed. I did the towels and the dishes, of course. In that regard, I think I miss staying at a hotel with maid service . It is vacation after all. It’s a beautiful property. The owners are very gracious to open their home. I would definitely get a different managing company. There are way too many “fees”. I felt hoodwinked. I’d rather just pay more in rent than be superfluous fees.
Bottom line is the home is very peaceful nice, and is a great location. I won’t return to any rental with Vacasa.
