Overall a great cabin in a great location. A little dated but doesn’t affect the stay. The only downside is there are no curtains on the windows. Just flimsy (and broken in a few places) blinds. That meant everyone got woke up at 630 to the blinding sun coming in. If that bothers you, it’s something to keep in mind.

Great location

Close drive to pretty much all attractions and at the same time secluded and quite location, still gives that experience that you're in the mountains, good views, very comfortable, fully equipped kitchen. Really a great place for the price.

Great Location and Cabin

The cabin is located in a great location, the hot tub and pool table were great! The place was very clean as pictured. The tube tv’s in the bedrooms could use updating.

I really enjoyed working with Holly and the Colonial team. They were very helpful and kept involved in the entire process. I had problems with paperwork and they were very understanding and worked with me on it. The cabin was very comfortable and clean. There were welcome boxes of needed items in bathrooms and kitchen which was a great touch. We really enjoyed the location of the cabin - easy to access and close to everything. We will definitely choose this company to work with in the future.

Nice but dated

Property was a great location and nice. However, the place could really use a refresh. Toaster didn't work, beds were old and not very comfortable, patio was dirty. TVs were extremely old as well

Very disappointed

The cabin description said one thing and it ended up not being so. Dead bugs all over the upstairs carpet. Dryer door wouldn’t stay shut while using it. Only 1 swing when they said 2. Replaced with 2 rocking chairs that were broken and had to be fixed by maintenance. Front and back door didn’t have good seals on them and every bug around ended up in the cabin. Beds were horrible. For as much money as these cabins cost to stay, you would think the hosts would provide you with better quality amenities. I have multiple other complaints but it’s just getting too long at this point. I wouldn’t recommend staying at this particular property.

Disappointed stay

Before we arrived we received an email with check in instructions that were supposed to included a code to unlock the door. Unfortunate there was no code. I replied several times asking for the code with no reply. Fortunately someone from the property management happened to call us to see if we checked in ok. I then received another email without the code again but she gave it to me over the phone. When we arrived there was nothing on one of the bedroom windows that looked directly at other cabins and on a road. We found a sheet to put on the window (tacky)! Our son and his family stayed upstairs only to find several of the bannister rails loose and very unsafe for their 11 month old son. In the morning as we’re preparing breakfast we noticed the glasses were filthy in the cupboards and needed to be cleaned before using them. The microwave had several duct taped repairs so we were uncomfortable using the microwave. My husband woke up in the morning with numerous insect bites that were not there before. Received a few more the next night. We called the property manager and left a message the night we arrived. The manager called later in the morning the next day and said someone would be there to make the repairs. I told him that this was unacceptable since these should have been fixed before we arrived. Talked with the repairman when we arrived back at the cabin the next day and he told us all he’d done. He put up a blind in the bedroom and brought us a microwave to use. He said that he’d fixed the bannister but after further review they were still loose and dangerous and obviously never touched. The detailed description stated there may be WiFi but the description should say there either is or is not. There wasn’t yet we had cable Tv. Finally the view was not as described in the VRBO ad.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, and we're sorry about your experience. Our property care team was notified about the check-in instructions, the window covering, the bannister rails, the glassware, the microwave, the pest concern, and the listing description so each could be corrected.
