2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness
The weather and lack of communication made the deficits so much worse.
The cabin was cute, and on a warm and sunny weekend, it would have been fine. But it was the coldest weekend in years, the cabin very drafty (we used our coats to stuff up the crack at front door, and the gas fireplace (the basis for picking this cabin) DIDN'T WORK. It was so cold we slept in our outer wear overnight and woke up to totally frozen pipes. Those were the main problems - we had to leave early because we couldn't bath, make coffee, or clean any dishes. But there were also no instructions in the house about the WIFI, how to use the complicated screen and projector TV set up, or what to do with towels, trash, etc. We arrived a bit early but even after our official check in time, the host hadn't responded to our calls and emails with the door code. The listing (still) claims a fireplace, but no warning that it doesn't work. Let's just say rather than a relaxing getaway, this trip made us feel like we had been tricked and cheated, and long for heat, running water, and a hot shower - we couldn't wait to get home. I asked the host AND VRBO for at least a partial refund. Crickets.
