Great location but cabin is in need of some TLC
"Gretel" was our family basecamp for 8 nights while our teens attended a Ski Camp at Timberline/ Mount Hood, 15 min away. Great location! Property is managed by International Vacation Rental Company, Vacasa, whose agents are professional & friendly on the phone. However, they appear to have challenges getting maintenance & cleaning staff to this location as evidenced from condition of unit upon arrival, rectifying on site issues during our stay & hiring incentives posted in the Govy local paper. The cabin has great bones, and lovely thought out family-friendly decor. With some TLC - a deep clean, fridge & tap repairs, the cabin would be show ready. Note: There is no dishwasher. While this adds to the rustic feel of the cabin, dirty dishes, cutlery, pots, cupboards, etc. tarnish the overall impression of this location.
