Will not be coming back. Gross
I wish that I had looked at the reviews before booking. The entire house smelled like dog and pee. It was one of the worst smells I have ever experienced. We had to sleep with the doors open it was so bad. There were bugs everywhere when we got there. I messaged them and was told that the local staff was coming to help with the cleaning and smell and no one showed. Hot tub was broken which was one of the main reasons we wanted to stay there. We will not be coming back. The view was pretty but I will never stay in a place that is dirty like that again. You can tell the place didn’t get cleaned before we came. There was hair all over the bathtub, dirt around the sink, bugs in every area of the house and the smell was absolutely disgusting. For as much as we paid to stay here you would think it would be clean.

Tiny cabin, spectacular mountain views!
This cabin is perfect for 1-2 people who plan to spend most of their time either on the porch staring at the mountains, or out exploring the area. There unfortunately wasn’t any local tv available or wifi but there was plenty of service to use phones. The views make up for it though!

Disappointed…
CONS - We had to wash all cookware, dishes, and utensils before use due to old food still on them - Bedding was all dirty - Pullout couch absolutely filthy with dead scorpion in mattress, stains/food, and a live wasp - Balcony railing flimsy and unsafe - Non-working hot tub - Satellite non-functional in living room - Needs a good update and deep clean - Residents firing unnecessary amounts of shots after dark (like 20-30 at a time) PROS - View - Privacy - Location (close to amenities) - Dishes, cookware, and utensils available - Working AC and fridge - Plenty of sleep space - Basic travel-size toiletries provided

This cabin was filthy. Crumbs on cabinet. Floors not swept or mopped. Furniture has not been dusted in who knows when. Carpet was so filthy you need to burn it. Hot tub broke. Cable in living room not working. Only in bedroom and the bed should be thrown out with cleaning crew. Only thing good was the view from porch. I should be compensated for staying there. I have been renting for years and this was the worst experience. The rental was through vacasa. I will never rent from them again and would not recommend them to another person or even a dog.

False Advertising
Cabin was TERRIBLE! Very disgusting and dirty. Hot tub was not filled and full of dead bugs. Carpet ripped up. Bugs on floor, Dirty towels, broken scrren on patio door. Horrible response from Vacasa Property management hists. Left cabin shortly after arrival and called and texted hosts. Had to rent a different cabin with a different company.

Only the view
I’m going to start with the positive. The view was amazing and the highlight of the cabin. The view is definitely not worth the night fee. The cabin was about equal to a state park cabin rental or worse. There where no screens in the windows. Therefore there as no opening windows. There was a broken window when we got there that wouldn’t close. My husband fixed it. The door lock was also broken like someone broke in a time or two. My husband also fixed that the cleaning fee should be obsolete. Actually we should get paid a cleaning fee for staying there. The hot tub DOES NOT WORK, but there is no longer a inch of water in the bottom The carpet is so gross and the furniture on the side of the road is better than the furniture in this place. Two out of the four people in our party where bitten by spiders. ( yes it is a cabin in the woodS)

Poorly maintained
Vacasa sent me an early check in stating it was ready, it wasn’t. When it was finally ready, it was not clean. There was dust caked on the ceiling fan, beams, door frames, and walls. The whole cabin smelled badly like mold and mildew, a note was left on the hot tub saying it was out of order and empty, the property had a lot of damage. Cracked bathroom window and sink, kitchen cabinets damaged and broken along bottom, hole in carpet covered by another badly cut piece laid across hole with paper towels folded under it, hole in screen door, the carpet was stained and had a really dirty feel on your feet. It was poorly maintained and very dirty. We were disappointed with the cabin and the rental company because all they did was say they were sorry. I was still charged a hot tub fee for a hot tub that didn’t work and a cleaning fee when it doesn’t look like anything was cleaned aside from new sheets being put on the beds.

This is false advertisement!! Do not stay here if you looking for a romantic get away. Hot tubs broken obviously for awhile. Whole house is DIRTY and I know dirty I run a cleaning service. Breaker kept blowing. I could go on and on. Also, they won't refund your money or when you ask to cancel reservation so you could go somewhere else because of the false advertising they still want to charge you. We travel all the time and this has by far been our worst experience.

Excellent view, cabin very dated.
The view was amazing! A/C worked great. Cabin was clean on surfaces, but walls very dusty and floors dirty. Carpet very poor condition. Hot tub was off, took 2 days to warm up. Driveway not motorcycle friendly at all. No washer, dryer, grill, or outdoor fire pit. Cabin covered all the basics, with the view being awesome.
