Perfect for a low-key stay
It's a great location for the entertainment center across the street. The drive into Highlands is not bad.

It will do in a pinch
Not great. Heat was spotty, bathrooms were not great, steps were very steep, just not good. Everything in Highlands was booked for the weekend so this is what we were stuck with, and I definitely wouldn't stay here again On a positive note, I guess, it was cheap, and pretty clean.

Angel, we're glad that you enjoyed the cleanliness of our home, but are disheartened to read that you experienced issues that kept you from fully enjoying your stay. You don't mention specifically what issues you encountered with the bathrooms but we want you to know you could have reported any concerns during your stay and our team would have remedied your concerns. We strive to be transparent in our listing and our home is accurately depicted in the descriptions and photos. We welcome guests to call prior to booking if they have any questions so they can choose the rental that suits them best. Thank you for being our guest and we hope to host you again.
There was never hot water for any length of time. If it did get warm, it was a trickle
The front porch advertised on vrbo was not the 2 nasty fold up seats that were actually on the porch. The oven would not come on at all. My Thankfinner was ruined. Heat was splotchy. Advertised DVD player but there was not one on property. The clothes dryer made VERY LOUD noises. I left my daily medication bag in the house & was not able to get anyone to agree to go back to get it & give to my brother-in-law. We will never rent this house again.

We also regret the inconvenience caused by the loud dryer and the trouble you had retrieving your medication bag. Please know that we are actively working to address all of these concerns, including updating the porch seating, repairing the oven and dryer, and ensuring accurate descriptions of the amenities provided. We also regret that we were unable to assist you promptly with your medication, and we are reviewing our procedures to ensure this does not happen again.

Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location
I would not recommend this cabin to anyone. After entering front door with keypad, found the back door with dead bolt and keyed doorknob were both unlocked. Some gummy bears were stuck to floor and the stairway to the upstairs was dirty. The upstairs toilet doesn't flush properly. The gas stove burners don't work correctly. The igniter knob fires the wrong burner. There are no mirrors in the bathrooms. There was not a sufficient number of bath towels but discovered on the last day of stay they were in the dryer. The water pressure fluctuates. Most annoying of all the shower head does not hang far enough over tub. You have stand on top of the drain and over the faucets to stay under the water. Then when the pressure drops the water drops against the shower curtain and you have to stand in the cold until the pressure builds to get water again. When Vacasa, the property manager, was contacted about where to put garbage outside, never got a response.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay with us. We're truly sorry to hear about the challenges you experienced with the cabin, including the unlocked doors, cleanliness concerns, plumbing issues, stove functionality, missing bathroom mirrors, towel availability, fluctuating water pressure, shower head placement, and the lack of response regarding garbage disposal instructions. This is certainly not the experience we strive to provide our guests. Please know that your comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these issues caused during your stay. Please know that your feedback is essential, and we have passed your comments along to our local manager, who will work with the homeowner to make any updates. We truly hope to have the opportunity to impress you in the future.
Place was not clean when we arrived on Friday at 8 pm. Had to stay up until midnight washing all linens and make our beds, trash still there and found a pair of men’s underwear beside the unmade bed. Found a fingernail in the living room
Floor along with other dirt from previous guest. No one came to bring new lines and towels until Sunday afternoon and we were leaving on Monday. Toilets looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a long time and spider webs in rooms. Random single mattress just standing in one of the bedrooms and single bed almost fell apart. Will not be using them again or staying at this property.
