We really wanted to love this property. We were looking forward to getting away from the hustle and bustle. This cabin did that. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
Secluded
Good size
Dog friendly
Very good wifi
Left us local eggs and bacon
Cons:
1) No A/C. We booked for 7 days. Could only stay 3 days because it was over 90 degrees in the cabin until 2am and there were fires in the area.. They had 7 fans in the house which circulated the hot air, but were also so loud we couldn't sleep. I understand that they can't control the weather, but I felt like they should have warned us and allowed us to make decision if we wanted to continue with the booking.
2) Photos are misleading- from the photos, we were expecting green area. We are aware of drought, but entire property is completely dry, brown, and not suitable for exploring. There were wasp nests at outbuildings as well.
3) Shower water pressure is horrible. It is close to a dribble. And rugs in bathroom are well-used. I stepped out of shower and feet feel instantly dirty from rug.
4) On the second day, when we returned to the cabin the house key snapped in half in the lock. The door area smelled strongly of wd-40 so I assume they were aware of some sort of issue with the door.
5) Also on our 2nd day, a wildfire started 25 miles from the cabin. The wind blew the smoke straight into the cabin. Because of the heat, we couldn't close the windows. We had headaches and nausea and made the decision to leave. Ron was apathetic. He said, "sorry it's bothering you. Enjoy the rest of your vacation." We had to book a hotel room for that night (unexpected expense). And on that day, a fire started even closer to the cabin and still no offer from Ron for even a partial refund.
6) Lastly, as we were leaving I fell through a slat on the patio and scrapped my calf. There were areas that looked like they were repaired because of similar issues as well.
I can honestly say this was our first bad experience on VRBO. Rent this cabin at your own risk.
