it was a very peaceful area. The use of the canoe to paddle the pond was a bonus. I gave the cleanliness only 2 stars as it was obvious no one had been in prior to our arrival. There were hundreds of dead & live ants. Also piles of sawdust on counters. I mention this only because it needs serious pest control, the ant traps are helping but only slightly. Otherwise I give 4 stars for cleanliness! Strangely the gas stove gas supply was turned off behind the stove. This reads like nothing but complaints but we enjoyed our stay immensely & just feel for the sake of the cottage & business to bring attention to the ant problem.
My husband and I spent the 1st 2 nights of our honeymoon at this cottage and it was very rustic and intimate. The neighborhood was quiet and secluded. All in all it was a good time
Very supportive and approachable staff with local community contacts established for smooth troubleshooting. One can easily stay for a week here !! *****
We stayed for one night in this lovely, rustic cottage and wished we had more than one day to enjoy the amenities, which was a fantastic lakeside spot with a dock, fire pit, kayaks, and wrap around deck. The cottage was charming and cozy, with an unusual layout with a loft above the 2nd floor bedroom. The one minor glitch to the trip was having to call Vacasa repeatedly for the access code to the house, which we did not get until we are at the house.
This would probably be fine in the summer, but should not be rented off season. Original listing had no menu of it being just a summer house/not having heat. Also did not realize it's being listed through a management company. Introductory email specifically said there was a wood stove and wood provided. No wood was there. I went to use the stove and it had a gas insert that i could not get working. I called the help number and the people in Oregon (yes, Oregon!) told me a series of lies and tried gaslighting me saying they told me stove didn't work. The ad on vrbo was magically rewritten less than 24 hours after my first complaint. It was down to 47 the next morning. I slept in my truck 2 nights due to the cold. It was never comfortable in there. Vacasa has totally ignored me. Vrbo has also not been much help. Complaints are being filed with BBB and my credit card.
In addition, WI-FI is pretty much non existent, bring your own paper products--including TP, and there's barely enough hot water for one shower.
Managed by Vacasa, horrible customer service - they aren't located in the same country and they told me "someone will be out shortly to serve you" (obviously no one came). Outdated and changed ads for the cabin. The cabin ad stated clearly that there was a *WOOD STOVE* in the "winter months". I booked the cabin because of this feature. I received THREE acknowledgment and preparation emails from Vacasa stating that the wood stove would be available and that WOOD WOULD BE PROVIDED IN THE FOYER. I show up and there is no wood stove, there is a gas stove - and it's turned off for the season. They have since changed their ad but it still says "wood stove"... it's a gas stove with fake wood... come on people... 52 degrees in the Cabin when I arrived during daylight hours. Blatant laziness that the stove wasn't turned on for that low of temps. Does there have to be a risk of freezing to death before the heat is turned on? Oh and the "dock" was totally destroyed. Smoke Detectors kept beeping due to low battery. Wifi wasn't fast enough for the TV to simply load a single app. The mattress is spring and probably 50 years old. You're better off sleeping in a tent.
I loved how quiet and isolated this property was! You could hear a pin drop when standing outside. There weren't even any birds to wake you in the morning. The wife and I stayed there for our anniversary week and enjoyed every minute of it. Week cooked in the nice little kitchen and grilled outside once. On the one day it rained, we stayed in all day and streamed movies or watched ones from their small DVD collection.
The furniture was very comfortable. Even I at 6'4" slept fine in the smaller full size bed.
Would definitely stay again!
Good Place to stay. Very nice to relax and fish. Caught crappie Small Mouth Bass Muskie. I would go back again. Note this/ If you go away from the bigger towns the food gets better and cheaper. Thanks so much for having us.
Property was nice but water didnât work in the house. My wife was not happy at all. Customer service was of no help so unfortunately I will not be using vrbo again.
The cabin is pretty small but for just me, it was great. The stairs to the 2nd floor bedroom have no railing, so I opted for the futon on the main floor and with an air mattress it was very comfortable. The provided heater was enough to keep the cabin heated so I never had to used the wood burning stove. Outlets are scarce so take an extension cord or 2. Overall, I loved the little cabin and I'd stay again!
The owner thought of every little detail to ensure people have a great vacation! Everything was exactly as it was outlined in the listing and even more. Thank you for sharing your great property with us, we had a great time!
