Wild Vines Log Cabin

Great cabin, as advertised, and responsive owner.

We had an amazing time, really hoping to do again!

We stayed at this property for the Christmas time and it turned out to be an overall disappointment. While the location and the area are great, the cabin did not appear to be ready to host guests in the wintertime, especially not for a Christmas getaway. Both cleanliness and maintenance were not up to standards, especially when it comes to the price point. If the owners want to rent this place out for a prestigious holiday like Christmas, in the wintertime or anytime in general, it needs to be cleaned thoroughly and not make you feel that no one looked after it since the last guest left a month or so ago. I hope that they will do some maintenance too before their next guest arrives. You would not want that none of the lights on the back porch would be functional (although I managed to fix one of them ) when you try to use the hot tub. Though you may think twice before you do that, because of the moldy smell and the actual mold that grew on the cover really call into question how regularly and properly the tub is cleaned. You would also not want to catch water in the kitchen, especially not above the stove, that leaks from upstairs if someone takes a shower. The constantly refilling toilet tank is more than annoying when you try to sleep.

I do have to admit the owner is responsive! Though there is not much reception or any wifi at the property, they would respond to your text messages. But please do not expect them to do much. I get it, it's Christmas, but it was their choice to want to do business, so then rent out your property in such a way that does not require guests to feel the need to contact you.

I was hoping that the owner would be receptive and would listen to our experience. Well, that was not the case. In a world where there are so many choices you cannot afford to have such negative attitude towards your guests. Had it not been for my unpleasant conversation with the owner and her petty excuses, I would have not felt compelled to report this owner to Homeaway. HAD IT NOT BEEN CHRISTMAS, WE WOULD HAVE LEFT! We normally rent two-three times a year for the past five years, and this was the first time we have had issues like the above.

Overall, I would not recommend this place. There are so many other clean, well-maintained places for less money to choose from where the owners actually appreciate feedback and understand what keeps them in business. This cabin its owner certainly do not belong in this category.

We first stayed at wild vines 7 years ago with family at thanksgiving, it was perfect then and perfect again this thanksgiving. Clean,pet friendly,kid friendly and great communication with owners!!

Our family enjoyed are time at the cabin. The cabin is very well maintained and very clean. There was everything you would need to cook and grill outside. The beds were comfortable, furniture was nice and comfy. I would highly recommend this cabin to any family or couple. We didn't use hot tub, but looked very maintained. We did have cell service, but didn't need it for anything except to stay in contact with our son getting to cabin. Beautiful location and beautiful cabin. Thank you so much for sharing your property.
