Cactus Cabin is in need of a thorough deep cleaning, home is disgusting. Many stains on the couch, big stain on blue chair, I am not sure if unit was swept as dirt behind the door, when I took a shower last night the water was not draining so when I open up the long white drain cover it was disgusting, the reason the water was not draining is because hair was clogging the drain plus a bug, plus other nasty things just nasty. I don't think the shower doors have ever been cleaned and the dirt in the corner of the showers and the baseboards are disgusting, numerous cracks and broken tiles in the bathroom. Bath mat disgusting and stained.

Location was perfect for stargazing! The deck was a nice feature. You can see wildlife walking by, the neighborhood is quiet & the residence are friendly. This was a very peaceful place to stay for a city get away.

Cute Little Alpine Stay

House was nice for two nights, owner was responsive with questions and also had a nice little info book. Unfortunately it was super foggy when we went so cannot comment on the star gazing deck but would imagine that and the view from the bed are great when it's clear!

Convenient but bugs

Convenient location to McDonald Observatory (50 mins) but there were bugs under the pillows and around the unit. We didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the bed but we arrived too late in the day to drive around and find somewhere else to stay. Property is at the end of a dirt road but still felt secure. Easy keypad to access unit.

Average stay

Property was easy to find. Upon arrival there were a few things that we noticed that needed attention. The property needs some maintenance and upkeep. When contacting the owners they responded and quickly fixed the problems we contacted them about. Overall the stay was average and would be better with some preventative maintenance and cleaning.

one night stand

The place is adequate. If you are not as agile anymore it is a tall step to get up to the door. There are a plethora of electric sockets but no lamps in living area. There is a big overhead light, however. We needed two beds and the pullout couch bed is not very comfortable. it is listed as having a futon as second bed. The bed area had up to date reading lights. There was mold around shower stall, but, the rest of the place was clean. The rental fee was okay, but, it is a really small place and they should not charge that much for cleaning such a small area.

Sadly ripped off

I have waited a couple weeks to put in this review hoping the owner would do right but sadly I guess that is not going to happen. We booked for a Thursday to Saturday stay, then we decided to come a day earlier so we added Wednesday. We stayed that Wednesday night.. you can see my previous review... We were out and about the next day and decided to come in for a siesta since it was 106! We got back to find the AC had quit. We called Chuck and he came from work to look at it. The unit would not stay on without the circuit breaker flipping. Chuck said he was going to try and find a new cord and would be right back. While he was gone I put in the door code and 2 more circuit breakers also went out with a loud pop and you could smell them smoldering. I called Chuck and he said he could not find another cord with a safety breaker but he found a non breakered cord. At this time we were concerned with the safety of the building so we let Chuck know we were going to a motel. As we drove to the hotel I got a call from Trish his co-host who said they would be submitting our refund. Not hearing anything once we got home I called Vrbo and they said a refund had not been submitted, they then got ahold of Chuck and he authorized 2 nights refund on our 3 night reservation. I have contacted Chuck multiple times over the last weeks. Seven days ago he texted he had been busy but had not forgotten about us-- have not heard from him since. Our first vrbo experience but we have no trust anymore

Pretty terrible. This is what I get for trying to save money. Baseboards were disgusting, rug had stains, couches and chairs had stains, shower and shower door had hair and dirt. Sink was dirty. Pretty bad area that did not feel safe, and the stargazing deck did not look safe enough to go up. When I tried to talk to the owner and get a refund, I got no response. We ended up staying at Alpine Bed and Breakfast instead. Older reviews make it seem like this place used to be cleaner and nicer. I would not stay here unless they make some drastic changes and do a deep clean. Also, I got no refund or response to my concerns. Very disappointed.
