Very unique property, but cleanliness and communication were issues...
We’re seasoned VRBO’ers and rented this cabin to host a mixed family gathering of individuals from 16 to 80 yrs old.Since this was a special trip planned for our daughters and granddaughters, we particularly depended upon the VRBO listing details and reviews to select this cabin.Although we found the ambience of the cabin, grounds, and river to be wonderful, a lack of cleanliness was a significant negative.We found many live ants and some dead wasps infesting Bedroom 2 (including ants in at least ones of the beds) that required the three teenage grand daughters to move to various couches for sleeping for the three nights.Since some of the insects found were dead, a recent extermination may have been performed, but a deeper extermination was needed to handle the infestation of live ants.Also, the kitchen silverware drawer was full of roach droppings, and a mouse skeleton was found in a bathroom sink lower cabinet. A more thorough cleaning should have been performed.We needed the five bedrooms to accommodate our daughters and granddaughters, and having one uninhabitable due to live ant infestation was simply unacceptable.Although pre-occupancy communications with the owner’s representative were good, we never received a response to our concerns regarding cleanliness and the loss of a bedroom to an active ant infestation.This has been our only less-than-positive rating for any of our many VRBO rentals, but we regret that we cannot recommend this property.
