Property as listed but wouldnt call this a cabin so much as a converted trailer. It was in a neighboorhood so not much seclusion. Did have a small outdoor firepit but is located next to the street. Inside was spacious and beds were comfortable. Nice restaurant's and diners close by and the food was delicious. Overall I would recommend a stay here. Thanks for everything.

Disliked: Cleanliness
unfortunately there was no lawn or place to sit outside. The outside appearance was not very welcoming. There was an A/C unit in the front window but bedrooms became warm with doors closed,there were no screens on some windows so I wasn't comfortable having it open. Vaccum didn't work. The bath/shower was difficult to get into.The overall feel was fun and interesting,perfect size and central location.

Great place to stay!

Great place to stay! Stayed with friends to run the local River of No Return race and this was a great place to sleep and recover. Place was clean, bed was really comfortable and everything was great! Only thing that could improve a little was I didn't receive the instructions to get in until the morning of our visit, which was a little unnerving. However, we got the instructions and got in just fine.

Pleasant stay but not as dog friendly.

Our stay was excellent. It was very clean and well kept. We had to locate the water heater to turn that on during our stay. I also want to make it known to other future guests that this is not as friendly of a pet home as it would seem with the description. They request that pets stay off of all furniture. While I respect their decision for this, I will admit it would be better to know that rule before hand in the event you don't have the proper items to adhere to that rule. I hope this information helps for future guests if they plan on staying here, especially if they bring their pets along.

Beautiful House

Check-in time is at 2pm - I reached out to property owner/manager at 1:45pm day of check in, about the check-in details, because they had not been released yet. The phone number on the property to contact the owner was not in service so I had to message him through VRBO only. There was some back and forth on what check-in time was now to be expected - the check in time was moved from 2pm to 6pm due to cleaner having some issues and owner revealed his working phone number at 4pm. Upon arrival, the house was beautiful! 5/5 stars. Some issues we had: -Dishwasher was broken and that was not disclosed until 4:30pm on check-in day. -The bedrooms are not centrally heated so the bedroom doors had to be open to get heat. Only heater was located in living room. We would stay again, however, better communication would need to take place.

Very poor communication

Once we actually got into the house it was nice and clean. However, getting into the house was a challenge. No check in details were provided before the stay and I was unable to reach the owner at either phone number or through the messaging service on the app. We had to sit and ring the Ring doorbell constantly in order to get the code to get into the house. It took 3 hours to get into the house due to lack of response from the owner which should never happen. Even Vrbo customer service was unable to get ahold of him. So anyone planning on staying here in the future should attempt to obtain check in details prior to the day of arrival to avoid this happening to them. The host said the check in info is online but on the VRBO app and online and in the email I received it said the host has not provided check in details. Maybe he has on other sites but that’s not what I used. Other than that the house was fine, no concerns with the property, just the lack of owner response.
