Gorgeous Mountain Home #2

We rented both cabins for a retreat on Mt. Lemmon. Our stay was a true delight!!! We are very thankful for the owners (who are very kind and accommodating) and their excellent hospitality (they create such a warm and comfortable environment). Everything we needed for our stay was already thought through and handled. We highly recommend these cabins for anyone looking forward to a great time on Mt. Lemmon!!

The cabin was beautiful, the only bad thing about the cabin it was under construction. Workers arrived at the cabin about8am (hammering, drilling, and etc) when i was hoping to sleep in for a few. Also, the cabin stated that it would.have Wi-Fi but it was not available . For not having any of those the owners let us check out later then 11am.

We actually ended up renting the top unit of this house. I realized that I had made a mistake when booking and that the listing on VRBO is the lower (smaller) unit. We were lucky that the top unit was available and we upgraded. This brought the cleaning fee up this rental as well to a high amount. I brought my family, in laws and some friends up for the weekend as a treat. I was so embarrassed at the condition of this place. We spent an hour the next day cleaning the outside area so we could sit out there and entertain. They had empty soil bags, trash and garden hoses not put away. I mention the hoses because this place is on a very steep hill. The last thing you need is any obstacle that you might trip on. They have a mouse problem. A big mouse problem. I get it, but there were mouse feces and urine all over the house. My daughter got her finger in a snap trap because they are everywhere. There were dust bunnies all over, carpet not even vacuumed. Satellite TV did not work. There is a closet where you can access the DVD player and I’m not sure it had ever been cleaned. Gagging with mouse droppings. There was a lit candle when we got there and another one melted all over a speaker. Something I would think they would bother to clean up. I emailed the owner with photos. Never got a response, but they cashed my check for the extra fees. My family has never rented from VRBO with a house in this condition. For this amount of money look at the Altitude house. Very disappointed.

We rented the entire cabin and had a great stay. There were 11 of us and we each had own bed which was nice. The bedrooms were nice, the bathrooms sufficient (although if you all want to shower or go in the hot tub I would suggest bringing your own towels up). Kitchen was fully stocked with plates, cups, silverware, etc so that was great. Mouse pellets in the cupboards but you are in the mountains, so of course! we did see a mouse on the second floor that we successfully chased out :-) The upstairs deck is a little unsteady (especially the railing going down) but as long as you are careful you can navigate it just fine. We were all able to sit and congregate and have a good time. The cleaning was not difficult to do, we brought a few large sturdy garbage bags to transport the garbage down the mountain. There are coffee filters. (I would suggest whoever cleans to make sure they check the coffee pots, there were some old moldy grounds left in the pot downstairs but nothing a little elbow grease could not handle). Wi Fi password is on the table on the directions, not in the books. If you get a chance to put it in the books, that would be great. Owners were very easy to reach and communicated quickly. We must have made a skunk mad, he sprayed around or toward the cabin all weekend. but we lit candles and had some febreeze that seemed to help. Overall a good stay! We would go there again!

It was perfect and so peaceful. We love it.

Thank you. I really recommend this place 💯✔
