For the company, I would give it a 2, but for the cabin, a zero!!
This review is specific to the "Grin & Bear It" cabin. First off, the reservation process is a real test of wits. They use scare tactics in massive amounts of documents and threaten fees for every minute infraction. When you finally check in, the agents are rude and unhelpful- definitely did not feel welcome, or like they even wanted our business!! Luckily, they left us alone, so we could try to enjoy our trip. Operative word is "try."
If you're looking for serenity and peaceful quiet, this is not the cabin for you. It is across the small street from two other neighbors, immediately above a busy road. The cabin itself was much smaller than we expected. The pictures, clearly, make it look more spacious, but we weren't there that much, so we looked past this. When we arrived, the cable repair man was at the cabin trying to fix the TVs. Again, we didn't plan on watching TV, so we were patient with this process. However, we could not overlook the mice droppings all over the cabin, nor the smell of something dead when you first walked in! Cockroaches plagued us the entire time we were there, and every time we would clean up little feces from the kitchen counter, more would appear the next morning. It was really disgusting and gave us the heebie-jeebies. On the third night, my daughter dropped her chap stick and it rolled under the couch. When we went to retrieve it, we found a huge nasty, moldy dog turd under there!! They threaten that if you move furniture and don't put it back, they will charge you a fee (no joke) but CLEARLY they do not EVER move the furniture to clean!! It was so gross, I nearly hurled. And due to its current state of decomposition, it had been there for months, or longer...
You'd think this nightmare ended here, but no... So we do some laundry, since we were there for some time, and they only give you one towel. But when we went to dry them we found someone else's huge mamma panties in the dryer. EEEEWWW!! They do not clean this place, but god forbid if you don't leave it clean, they'll charge you! As for the "amenities," the appliances are the most basic, antiquated things you've ever seen. The dishwasher really did not even work, the washer did a horrible job, just like the management company- incapable of cleaning anything. The cabin was noisy, air conditioner was loud and seemed to struggle, every footstep upstairs sounded like a herd of elephants, the beds were rock hard, and even minor adjustments sent loud creaking throughout the tiny space. We did not sleep at all on this trip. Honestly, we had to come home to get any rest from our vacation.
Please, do not book with this company or stay in this cabin. It was really horrid! read more
