We did not feel safe in this property

We paid for 3 nights but left after 1 sleepless night. There is no "apartment" in the basement - it is just an open stairwell so the person staying in the basement can access the entire house any time they want. In the morning when we got up there was a white golf tee on the top step just outside our bedroom. It was in an obvious place and we know it was not there when we went to bed. The only way it got there was someone put there in the middle of the night. We would not have heard them moving around since we had a floor fan running. It has been 48 hours since we talked to VRBO and over 3 days since we checked out. No one has contacted us about our request for refunds.

Comfortable like borrowing a friend's cabin

This was a cabin style house right outside the small town and felt like going to a friend's cabin to stay for a few days. It was tidy but a few small details that kept me from giving it 5 stars for cleanliness. We basically just cooked dinners and slept here. Beds were comfortable. Master bedroom has a 3/4 wall to bathroom, which is the main bathroom on that floor so light shines through at night. Kitchen has some basic pots/silverware but not much so you need to be creative if you plan on cooking. The living room and dining area were great for our party of 5 to hang out. We liked the outside house cat and it was nice to see him at the end of the day and in the morning. Best feature was the washer/dryer after a day of hiking. Location was central for venturing north and south to various hiking locations. Main floor bathroom had a shower curtain but a not a liner so that was odd to us but we just hung it out to dry after each use. They had shampoo/conditioner/body wash in shower which was nice as well. Well stocked with dish soap and cleaning supplies. Again, it's not fancy but it's comfortable for a family traveling to spend their days outside of the house.

Passing through

We stayed here passing through to the Canyon Lands. It was just one night but it was convenient for us. Nice place and lots of room. Everything was good and I’d recommend it to others. Only downside was grass had been mowed and was left in the parking area everywhere. Also the cat was cute but under your feet as you tried to get in and out. But thanks for the stay

Grandma/grandson

Was just perfect for what we needed, although the bbqer wasn’t working well. Tried to cook some steaks and brats and one side never lit and the other never got hot enough. Had to end up cooking inside. Enjoyed the kitty, however my grandson was allergic.

Preston emailed me that there is a guest book for check out. We could not find it. I called and left a message that we could not find the guest book. We did not get a response. So we will check out the best we can. Shower curtain in main level bath needs to lifted higher or shorten the shower curtain. Light over kitchen table would be nice, that area is dark. We played cards ever night, and it was dark. We had lots of room. Plenty of towels. It was clean.

Comfy Cabin

Living area was large and comfortable, kitchen was decently stocked with pots, pans and dishes. As others have stated people were living in the basement with no way to secure the upstairs from the basement, but they were quiet and we never really noticed they were there. Only negatives were neighbors' barking dogs and the location/ configuration of the bathrooms. The two bedrooms and one bathroom are on the second level with one bedroom sharing a ¾ tall wall with the bathroom. Toilet is on the partial (not all the way to the ceiling) wall that backs up to the headboard of the bed on the otherside. If you're staying with immediate family members that's not a problem, but if you want/ need some 'privacy' at night you'll need to go downstairs to the bathroom by the back door.

Blading cabin heaven.

Just outside of town, we found our beautifully spacious cabin. Family of 5, ages 22 to 85, we stayed , very comfortably, so we could traverse Canyonlands. That we did. Blading is a town of the loveliest nature. When you stay there, getting a tad involved in this sweet town is almost inevitable. Nice folks, top to bottom. It's small but the Patio is a must hit for burger lovers. The cabin is laid out in country decor, appliances all worked well, the stay was comfortable, to say the least. No hotel/motel could give us the family time like this place. Though you get country peace, you're at a very oft used part of town. There's kids around, so I wouldn't plan a keg party here, but, if your looking to relax and just enjoy a moment's peace, this is the place. Everything you could need is in this cabin. We'd like to thank our hosts for such an enjoyable, effortless, stay. My mom, the 85 year old, asked that I thank you for the country charm of the decor. Yes, a guy lives in the lower level. He's not a nut or anything. Nice young fella from Minnesota. No threat. Either way, it was a great couple if days that will end up a part or our family's collective memory. We hope to go back next year. Great area to visit, great place to stay. Be back soon! The attention to cleanliness and hospitality didn't go unnoticed.

Clean, spacious, thoughtful details, tenant in basement

Communication was prompt and thorough. There is an additional guest fee I didn’t realize until after booking. Spacious, clean, and thoughtful details like a snack tray to welcome you, plenty of linens, all the kitchen necessities and bathroom needs you could think of. I should have read the other reviews about the tenant downstairs. There is no locked barrier between you. We were at the cabin during our entire stay, but I would have felt uncomfortable had we left. Unnerving with minor children. There was a makeshift foam barrier blocking the doorway to the basement apartment, but a locked separation would make all the difference in my opinion. It also made us self conscious of our noise level when our kids wanted to play hide and seek and just in general. One of the main reasons we choose an air b n b over a hotel room is to not have to worry about people around us, so that was a down side. Pictures seemed like it is more remote, but it’s pretty close to town and surrounded by other homes and buildings. Not a big deal for our purposes, but it’s not tucked away in a remote setting if that’s what you’re looking for. Overall a positive stay. Bathroom/lack of privacy as mentioned in other reviews was a minor inconvenience. Soaker tub was awesome after a long day of hiking in Canyonlands. Vacuum was broken, which might have contributed to why we found several goat head stickers in the rugs and carpets. Really great location for access to Canyonlands, Arches, Monument Valley, etc.
