Getaway Cabin next door to Maramec Spring Park & Meramec River Trophy Trout

MIke, thanks for the review and comments. We plan to update living room seating this spring before our busy season.

Thanks for your comments. We are so glad you enjoyed your time during your stay at Lost Creek Ranch Getaway Cabins.

We are very sorry for your inconvenience. Since we learned of this, we immediately replaced both the coffee maker and the DVD player with new equipment. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

Glad you got to see the deer. They like the valley in front of the cabins. We are sorry about the toilet handle breaking during you stay and very thankful for your tolerance with the situation.

Apparently some people just don't take the time to read anything. The vrbo listing for this property excludes consumables (i.e. trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper) from the amenities listing. And the House Rules and Check-out instructions on this property listing includes: * Remove personal items * Remove leftover food and drinks * Take out the trash - THE GUEST LEFT TRASH AND FOOD SCRAPS ALL OVER THE CABIN INTERIOR AND EVEN ON THE OUTSIDE. THERE WAS ALSO PLASTIC TRASH STREWN ABOUT FROM FIREWORKS STUFF. THE INSIDE TRASH FILLED 4 GARBAGE BAGS. * Dirty dishes must be washed and returned to cabinets. Failure to do so will result in a $40 additional charge. POTS AND PANS WERE LEFT DIRTY, UNWASHED, WITH FOOD SCRAPS. Also, a confirmation email with directions, check-in info, key location, and wifi password was sent to guest several days before arrival. The email contained "Important information: Just a reminder our guests need to bring any CONSUMABLE items including TRASH BAGS, soap and shampoo, charcoal and BBQ utensils for grilling, and PAPER PRODUCTS such as paper towels and TOILET PAPER."

Thanks for your comment. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay.

First of all, we have exterminators treat our cabins on a regular basis, and in 25 years of business, we have never ever found any bed bugs in any of our cabins, nor had any complaints ever prior to this group staying. This guest showed up with what looked like a large party, we don't know if they were a related family or some type of group, and we don't know for sure how many people they had, but they slept and strung bedding everywhere in the cabin, on every sofa, chair, etc. They reserved the cabin for Sat & Sun nights, and on Monday @ 2pm, sent us an email stating they had left the day before. We received no phone call from them during the time they were at the cabin, so there was not much we could do to address the issue until after the fact. Had they called us on Sunday, we would have come to the cabin that day and brought an experienced exterminator with us to assess the situation and ascertain at that time if there was a real issue or a one-off bug. When we received their email, we immediately contacted our exterminator and went to the cabin to inspect. All of the beds were stripped, and mattresses, springs, and frames thoroughly inspected. The result was that we did find one bug (but only one), and there was no sign of any actual bug issue or infestation. Our exterminator said it is quite possible that the one bug that was found could have been carried into the cabin by hitchhiking in or on luggage from a previous recent guest after having stayed somewhere else, or even from someone in this guest's large group. He explained that this is the most common means of bugs getting distributed from one location to another. Nevertheless, we went ahead and had the entire cabin treated anyway. When we arrived at the cabin on Monday afternoon, the cabin was in a total disarray, and we found that their group had stolen all of our bath towels, hand towels, and wash clothes except for a single bath towel,. We have our cleaning personnel make a written inventory of the quantity of all towels and wash clothes every time the cabins are cleaned following guests checking out. So we know the towels were there when their group arrived. Normally, we would make some type of refund to compensate for any inconvenience experienced by any of our guests, but given that all of our towels had been stolen, we did not make any refund and decided to just forget about the towels being taken. We would definitely not rent to this group again.

If a potential guest clicks on ""View all amenities" there is additional description that states "TV is for watching movies from DVD player". We have added some further wording there and at the bottom of the cabin description to make it more clear that there is no TV signal/service.
