Take your money elsewhere! Seriously, RUN!!!
The fact that this property has been listed on VRBO for more than 10 years with no reviews: red flag #1. Likely removed.
I am renting this cabin now and am TRAPPED with no way to provide reasonable accommodations for my family vacation. The owner, Karla, has obviously been wronged in the past and everyone from that day forward is going to pay the price. Our plans were spontaneous and finalizing my guest list took some time which totally wigged her out. She has umpteen pages of ridiculous rules and signs EVERYWHERE. My kids observed that she must have gone to the store and bought every "NO" sign available. She has everything chained up including $5 tubes requiring $30 deposits. The atmosphere is anything but relaxed and welcoming.
We chose this property from many others because of the water trampoline. My kids have been looking forward to this since we started planning our trip. When we got here, the kids jumped in the water to use it even though it was only in the 50s. When they got on it, they sank to the water. Absolutely no tension. When we told Karla about this, she tried to fix it with telephone wire! Not effective. However, Karla maintains that it has always been this way, that no one has ever had issues and that we must not understand water trampolines. This is simply untrue. When I tried to talk to her again, she told me to just have the kids play games and then stopped answering my emails. I had asked if she was still unable to fix the trampoline if she could refund us some money so we could afford to rent a jet ski to enjoy some water fun. Denied. Request for pro-rated refund so that we could find other accommodations - denied.
The cabin itself is pretty cute and appeared clean. However, we have to wash the dishes before using them and all of the bedding is very musty smelling. The outside grounds are a different story. The multi-level decks, while very nice, clearly have not even been swept this season. Dried pine needles and spider webs everywhere. Night time is treacherous as outside lighting is non-existent. The game room: a table with chairs and some ancient board games in a room so moldy smelling that you can hardly breathe. The fire pit is littered with trash. The decks, game room, and waterfront are also all shared. There are towels down by the water that are so crusty they must be from last year. There is garbage all along the shore - an old shredded tarp, a laundry basket... There is feces all over the boat ramp. Too bad I can't include pics. read more
