Not at all as advertised - Health Hazard- MOLD
Myself and my youngest son are severe asthmatics. My son has severe autism as well. My husband and I with our 5 children arrived to the property and had no issue getting into the premises through the provided method. Upon opening the door we were hit the OVERWHELMING smell of mold/mildew. I immediately started to wheeze. AC intake was moldy, with a hose running into a small garbage can to drain the condensation. water was stagnant and smelled. The fridge door had what appeared to be mold at the bottom of the door. Bathrooms were filthy and in need of cleaning. Kitchen had used items on the counter. Exterior of the home had mold on the walls as well. Photo evidence was collected of the conditions. We were unable to stay as this is a huge risk to our health. We tried to reach the owner and had no answer. VRBO refused to refund or rebook us under the book with confidence guarantee. The owner got in touch with us through vrbo and was rude, did not care to hear what we had said. then went on to tell us they had another family that checked out that morning and she had not gone to the property yet. I was appalled that there was no cleaning or bedding changes between customers during recorded call with VRBO. Owner has refused to refund our stay and VRBO is of no help. We are currently trying to dispute through other means and working to secure legal representation if not resolved. BE WARNED OF UNSANITARY CONDITIONS.

The yard was unkept. The house was musty and dirty. There wasn't enough toilet paper. Didnt realize that we had to empty buckets of water to use the AC

This is a nice, well kept property in a great location with lots of room to relax and stocked with everything someone could need. Theres a fire pit in the back (with stacked firewood) and enough chairs for everyone to enjoy a s’more or two. We also got to meet Annie, the sweet Golden Retriever next door. Thanks for a great stay and the banana bread was a pleasant surprise.

Guys weekend riding trails
A group of us guys in the family spent the weekend up here to go ride the trails. Great little house that had many amenities you wouldn’t think you’d get. Access right to the trails and not too far from good local restaurants. Will definitely be looking to stay here again sometime.

Fishing trip
This is a very nice well kept property, lots of room for a group of people. The house is very nice and clean. The host event has it stocked with everything but what you would need to eat. The host even had made a cake for us as a welcome to the property. Our stay was in the winter as a ice fishing trip but mother nature wasn't much help in the area this year, but there is lots to do in the area. Everyone in the group was impressed with the property and we have even started talking about the fact that we might like to come back next year. Thanks for everything and the cake was an awesome touch. Thank you

Visting with relatives who were camping at camp ground.
We left 2 days early. The place was okay, just too much clutter for me. It looks like there has been many updates, which is good, but looks like a sloppy clean up from construction. A little more effort would good a long way.

Yard was a mess. Trash cans, yard tools, junk were a mess. Didn’t look as good the as the pictures. Needed general clean up. Water was unbearable to smell, drink or bathe with. Throw rugs of multi hight presented dangerous condition. Toothpaste on mirror in bathroom. Furniture was comfortable. Stocked well in kitchen.
