Liked: Check-in, communication
The stay was not as expected. A lot of rodent noise in the evenings. We had pets and kids and to have rodent boxes in bathrooms/bedrooms/ etc… was not good for them. The host was very kind and pleasant to work with but unfortunately we had to cut our stay short because of the rodent issue
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Jul, 2026
Thank you, Sandy, for letting us know about the noise you heard — that feedback led us directly to the entry point, which we found and permanently sealed. We've had no signs of activity since. For future guests: our cabin sits in a truly rural setting, surrounded by open fields, and that beautiful countryside comes with the occasional field mouse trying its luck. We stay ahead of it with year-round preventative pest control, and yes — you may notice discreet traps in the home. They're there because we're proactive, not because there's a problem. We're sorry this stay didn't go as planned, and we appreciated how gracious Sandy and her family were throughout. We'd welcome the chance to host them again.

Great Location & Experience

Our group had an amazing experience staying at High County for this year's youth retreat. The property was a perfect fit for our needs, providing plenty of space for our students and leaders while creating a great environment for fellowship, worship, and fun. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. We especially appreciated how accurately the property details reflected what we found upon arrival, which made planning for our retreat much easier. Allison was outstanding throughout the entire process. Communication was prompt, clear, and helpful from booking through checkout. She was always quick to respond to questions and went above and beyond to ensure our group had a great experience. We would absolutely stay at High County again and would gladly book another property through SIVR in the future. Highly recommended!
