This cabin is not as pictured on VRBO. Though I debated writing this review, as the property owner did share he would write a poor review of us as renters if I did, it is important to me that families with children are not in this same position.
First, the patio area pictured is not accurate to what is on site. The covered area is in disrepair, and the affixed furniture is dirty, rusty and unusable. There were recently storms at the lake, so the beach, too, was completely inaccessible. Because of the area of this cove, parents should consider that this area will likely always have a fair amount of debris and algae and is not the zero entry pebble beach described. The docks had several wasp nests with active wasps on the day we were there prior to leaving. This should also be a consideration for parents traveling with young kiddos.
The cabin is cooled by a single AC unit located in the kitchen. The bedroom gets very warm if you shut the door overnight. The second “bedroom” appears to be a converted deck that also has no access to the AC and no curtains on the doors facing the property owner’s home for light blocking or privacy.
My kiddos love bugs, so the exterior of the home was not of concern but, if you have kids scared of spiders, hornets, etc. they are all over the entry of the home. There were ants in the kitchen and in the bed in the bedroom.
The cabin itself is odorous- a musty smell that may be difficult for some folks, as it was for us.
