Betagende udsigt fra denne tilpassede kabine! Snescooter, Vandreture, Fiskeri, Sjov!

Thanks for the review—though let’s clear a few things up for future guests: Yes, the TVs work. They’re Smart TVs (not cable boxes), and the listing clearly states there’s no cable. Satellite doesn’t play nice with the giant trees… which also happen to make the place peaceful and beautiful. The loft has stairs—because it’s a loft. The listing says it’s not ideal for those with mobility issues… which you mentioned after planning a weekend of creek hiking. Interesting choice! The road is gravel. Always has been, always will be. We disclosed that in both the listing and our messages. Same with the short walk from the parking spot—about 15-20 yards, not the dramatic 50-yard expedition you described. You changed to more expensive dates and insisted the price stay the same. I let it slide. You also brought a dog without paying the pet fee. That slid too. So yes, the cabin is exactly as advertised—cozy, quiet, and ideal for folks who appreciate nature with a touch of adventure. Maybe not the best fit if “roughing it” means room service is running late.

Dear Guest, I'm sorry your experience wasn't as expected for your one night stay at the Picnic Point Cabin. Our property is located at the top of Sky Meadows. Being that far up allows a spectacular view but the terrain is steep as you're in the mountains. I note the steep driveway in my email with the property information for your stay. I also note the hot tub being decommissioned in my rental agreement prior to booking and again in my email. It's also not listed under amenities on our listing nor in our price. I do not provide firewood as it can be purchased in town along with your groceries at Safeway. I do my best to properly describe my rental and did not advertise free firewood. I apologize that the firewood I did offer you was not sufficient enough for your bonfire. It's the only firewood I had available. As for the icy roads, there are a few patches due to the recent snow melt. If only we had more sun to melt those spots away. In regards to the trails; the 100,000 acre L.T. Murray Wildlife Recreation Area borders the community. The L.T.Murray area is one of Washington's most beautiful and scenic preservations and makes for hundreds of miles of mountain trails with outstanding motorized and non-motorized recreation. Four wheel, motorcycle and horse back riding are popular as well as hiking in the spring, summer and fall. In the winter Sky Meadows is a winter wonderland with about 600 miles of connecting groomed snowmobile trail riding right from the cabin. I have a map of the access gates on the fridge. The cabin is quaint and has a small kitchen which is viewable in the pictures. We've had guests cook Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners there before however, it's not a chef's kitchen by any means, but it does the job for a cabin in the woods. The cabin was built in 2004 and was permitted to insure all features met county codes including the railings. Safety is very important to me, especially with children. I've brought my son to this cabin since he was born. If left unattended, I'm sure he could get himself into a bit of mischief. I don't have any board games up there. I will get some as I think its a great idea to have those. I do offer a small selection of DVD's, but no board games. Again, I didn't list this under the amenities as I don't have any board games up there. The cards were left by another renter. I apologize they left an un-proper deck of cards. I hope this info helps and I apologize you didn't enjoy your one night stay at the cabin.

Hi Heather, I’m surprised you wrote such a negative review with untrue facts after the email I received from you stating “You have a beautiful cabin”. I’m pretty sure this was a result of me not offering a refund for the weather which was out of my control. I actually tried to reason with you and offered a solution to help but you were adamant about checking out without a refund. So please don’t say I said “too bad” because that’s not true. Check your emails from me. Not once did I say too bad. I was responsive and attempted to offer a solution. I’m curious as to why you stated in an email how “beautiful” our cabin was yet you wrote in your review that it’s outdated, too small, too hot, has gravel roads….you name it-you complained about it. Wow! A true example of someone not getting their way. Like a scoured ex girlfriend. All because I didn’t offer a refund due to the heat?!?! If I offer refunds for weather not being suitable for each guest, I wouldn’t have a vacation rental. That’s truly absurd. Last I checked, I don’t control the weather. Here are a few facts; Our cabin is higher elevation than Snoqualmie Pass so yes, it is 5-10 degrees cooler than the valley. However, during a heatwave I’m sure it’s still hot and we aren’t equipped with A/C since these types of heat waves are rare in our state. The average temperature at our cabin in the summer is between 70-80 degrees. You knew two days before your stay our cabin didn’t have a/c. You could’ve been proactive and brought a portable a/c unit like our other guests did during the heat wave. Also, we do not charge an “owners fee”. So that is completely false. VRBO does have their fees. We have a $59 insurance policy which goes direct to a third party to cover any incidentals vs. you paying a $1000 deposit. But this “$200 owner fee” is false. I can email you a breakdown of the fees which you also received when you booked the cabin. VRBO and myself do not charge fees after a booking. If you didn’t like the fees at the time of booking, then why did you book?! I truly think VRBO should remove this review as it is false and is intended to hurt my business because you checked out after one night due to the heatwave and then expected a refund. And yes, we do have exterior cameras which we keep on when it’s vacant. However, if you were smart you’d see it isn’t facing the deck, it’s facing the driveway and is on the exterior of our cabin which is common for vacation rentals. Your review is slander. Shame on you!
