This cabin was spotless!! The kitchen was well stocked with high end easy to use appliances. The hot tub was delightful and we enjoyed using it. There were some outdoor games but we didn't use them. The fire pit was nice however it was too cold and windy to safely use. The bedrooms and bathrooms had plenty of nice towels, soaps and hair products. This cabin even had a desk and lounge area where I could use my computer. My husband and I were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Mountain Getaway
This home was private yet close to most everything we were interested in. There are hiking trails, breweries, good restaurants and a golf course all within a reasonable distance. The home was well-equipped, clean and a real treat/retreat away from home. I even got to see a bear!
The Good: Very nice, clean property, and centrally located. A lot of fun board games which came in handy because.. The Bad: The Wi-Fi was down the entire 5 days we were there. It was down when we got there, called Vacasa and they said they would work on it. Next day left a message with local operations manager which was never returned. Got a text from Vacasa last day and said they were still working with property owner to resolve. No wifi meant no TV and with only 1-2 bars on T-Mobile from inside the house, it was not strong enough to stream. It is ridiculous that the Wi-Fi was down for our entire stay and we never heard from the property owner. Great house as long as there is not an issue that needs to be resolved.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the home, its cleanliness, location, and the board games. We’re happy those added some fun to your stay. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the WiFi outage. We understand how frustrating it is to be without internet access, especially when it also impacts TV streaming, and cell service is limited. During your stay, we were in contact with our local team and working with both the owner and the internet provider to diagnose and resolve the issue. Unfortunately, the problem was traced to a failed connection under the house caused by a faulty switch, which required additional time to identify and repair. We have now documented this in our property notes so that if anything similar occurs in the future, it can be checked and addressed much more quickly. We truly regret that this impacted your experience and appreciate your patience. Thank you again for your feedback.
