Such a wonderful community and easy check-in process. The house is lovely and on a quiet dead end street. The living area and kitchen were a bit smaller than they looked in pics but we spent most of our time on the beautiful deck.

Two bedrooms are in the basement. Needs window coverings in those rooms. Whole house smells like mildew. Bathroom has dead bugs in the light, spiders in the corners, and walls were sticky. Window coverings in loft needs blackout curtains. Got really hot up there during the day, making the room unusable by the evening and making living room hot too.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 July 2026
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am genuinely concerned that at no point during your stay did you contact us regarding any of these issues. Communication is one of the most important parts of the host-guest relationship because it gives us the opportunity to address concerns immediately rather than learning about them after your departure in a public review. Regarding the temperature in the home, there is a large mini-split air conditioning unit in the living room that is specifically designed to cool the entire first floor as well as the loft area. I'm not sure why it was not utilized during your stay or why you did not let us know that you were experiencing difficulty. Had you contacted us, we would have gladly walked you through its operation or sent someone over if there had been an issue. As for the cleanliness concerns, we perform detailed quality control inspections immediately prior to each guest's arrival. During these inspections, we take GPS-, date-, and time-stamped photographs throughout the home, including detailed photos of bathrooms, light fixtures, corners, walls, and other areas. These records confirmed that the home was in immaculate condition before your arrival. With respect to the mildew odor, our cleaning staff is very attentive to any unusual smells and would have alerted us had there been a concern. That said, odors can sometimes be subjective and vary from person to person. If you had contacted us, we could have investigated immediately. In many cases, something as simple as a dehumidifier needing to be emptied or serviced can be quickly resolved. Regarding the window coverings, we appreciate your suggestions. We continually evaluate guest feedback when owners are considering future improvements to their homes. We strive to provide every guest with a five-star experience, but we can only resolve concerns that are brought to our attention while guests are still in the home. We hope you'll keep that in mind during your future travels, as most hosts are eager to address issues as they arise and ensure their guests have the best stay possible.

This was a nice rustic cabin with plenty of room for our family of four. My girls loved the foozeball, games, and loft. We didn’t get to utilize many amenities because of the weather but the complex looked really nice. Host was responsive to my questions. We would stay here again.
