Off grid yet close to town

Check in was easy, they even got the wood burning stove warmed up for us. No plumbing or electricity, but the amenities provided were suitable. Great location just minutes to town.

No indoor plumbing or electricity.

The front steps were dangerous. We were close to some nice parks, and had a fun time.

Yes that is correct it STATES VERY CLEARLY and specifically in the post that there is no indoor plumbing or electricity. CABIN in the woods Perhaps try reading the ad description before renting next time? Also the steps are not dangerous. That's simply a lie. Of my 58 reviews on a competitor website where I am a super host, no complaints. Unbelievable! VRBO customer service is also REALLY BAD. They won't remove this idiots review.(side note: I actually had to wait almost two plus months after 7 hours and five phone calls to get my verbo payouts. Hosts beware) Even though the complaint about no water or electricity.. DUH!!! CLEARLY STATED in my post does not warrant review removal. What does? These geniuses at VRBO did also NOT READ!

Peace and tranquility

Loved the cabin. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The property was just lovely. Alexandra was the perfect host. They brought us a big pile of firewood to roast our marshmallows. She tried to bring her goat to meet our corgi pups but they just barked and barked. It was a real treat to visit Stony Brook State Park near by. It has a huge natural amazing swimming pool at the bottom of the waterfalls. Also Letchworth State Park is only 25 minutes away. We really enjoyed the views at this park also. I would highly recommend staying at this property especially if you have dogs You won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely terrible experience! Rude owner!

I honestly was looking so forward to getting away. She makes it sound so amazing in the overview. While the cabin is pretty much as pictured, the pond and property are not. There is goose poop everywhere the grass is overgrown. I should have known when i got an email the day of telling me now i have to bring my own propane tank.i asked her if it was completely secluded quickly after booking. She assured me that it was, but its not. You can see her house and yard from the cabin. The man made rock stairs are nice, but unstable. When i told the homeowner. She said they had a hurricane 3 weeks ago and had consecutive people staying there, thats why they werent fixed. Wouldnt you want to reduce your risk of your guests getting hurt. The grass was extremely tall and not maintained. I get youre in nature, but break out the weedwacker at least around the bathroom and shower areas. The pond was unswimmable. It clearly states in her overview the pond is spring fed and swimmable. Does not state specific time of year. When i mentioned she stated i should have asked about the pond sooner. Why would i ask when it states its swimmable? I asked for a full refund. Owner agreed minus $60 cleaning fee. Now mind you i was there less than an hour, but i did enter the cabin so i ageed. Problem is owner kept $250 and hasnt responded. Save yourself the aggravation and go somewhere else!
