When my husband and I read the reviews on the cabin property, we were very surprised at the high rating which we didn't encounter the same experience during our stay. We figured this cabin is ideal for spring/summer season. We were in awe how low maintenance the cabin was upon our arrival.
Here's the list that we didn't expect them coming and quite disappointed with our large expense on this cabin for our honeymoon:
-hundreds and hundreds of flies and ladybugs continuously flying around during our whole week of stay
-a lot of dead flies and ladybugs laying on both XL-Twin beds and we couldn't sleep there
-there were no pictures of the upstairs bedroom on the VrBo website and when we arrived, it was too claustrophobic to see how low the attic roof above us while dealing with flies flying around
-the indoor temperature wasn't warm enough during the month of Dec stay
-the outhouse bathroom's smell was too much to handle...I am not sure when the last time the host hired someone to clean it up
-per the description how primitive the cabin was and advised us to bring our own drinking water. We thought it meant to bring our filtered water that we are able to drink and use the provided water at the cabin with the sink faucet running water (with your picture shown on your VrBo website) for washing dishes purpose
-microwave, refrigerator, countertops were extremely stink, so we had to clean deeply before putting our foods there
-when I asked the host for a reference to tow our vehicle, we appreciated her assistance but we ended up having this terrible towing service that didn't want to get their regular pick up truck (NOT towing truck) stuck in the snow. Those 3 people who helped us were smoking and didn't even bring their own towing equipment which forced us to use the property's supplies such as shovels and buckets to get our vehicle out on our end of day stay. It was a disaster for us. We had to pay extra for their service.
We read a few negative reviews through this page during their winter stays and we encountered similar situations. We have advised the host to please elaborate in the cabin's description and high maintenance on the cabin's property, especially during winter seasons.
