Family Snow Trip

The property was extremely clean and nicely decorated. We had no kitchen cloths for drying dishes or wiping down countertops so we had to purchase. We were happy to see the sleds left downstairs and the children enjoyed sledding at Boone Town Hall for free! Overall a very nice place to stay!

Cabin in the woods

Nice cabin with plenty of room. Driveway a little steep but to be expected in this area. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed to relax, cook, and enjoy the mountains.

Wonderful mountain chalet

The furniture and space is very enjoyable and mountainy. Great fireplace and everything works!! The late spring mountain view was minimal from the home. Driveway is steep for those that are concerned with such things. This was a perfect weekend chalet for our mountain getaway. Would totally book here again!

Alpine charm and serenity.

The back porch ambience and fire pit area created a positive impression upon arrival. It was also much used! The interior was clean and made a cozy, nicely appointed retreat for our 5 adults and two teens. We enjoyed hanging out, playing games, watching TV, and all of the fun activities nearby. We strongly recommend the Bearfoote Chalet!

Very nice home in a convenient location

We had a great girl's trip at the chalet. The decor was beautiful and comfy. Fireplace easy! With the leaves gone we could see the sunrise over the mountains. Kitchen well-stocked and the bed linens were surprisingly nice! Our most talked about and favorite amenity were the heated toilet seats, LOL! Very close to Grandfather Vineyard and Winery, a lovely spot!

Would stay again

Everything was as expected, or better. Great views from inside and outside! The listing was accurate, and the place was nice and cozy. The driveway is steep, and I was nervous parking upon arrival... But by the second day, it was a walk in the park.

Worst stay in 15 years with VRBO

This stay ( not really as we had to leave early) was nothing short of a nightmare.Our below communication with VACASA management will summarize the situation. We will be asking VRBO for refund. In the meantime we will be working with credit card company to dispute the charges We will post pictures if possible.Conversation with VACASAHere is the situation. The tech guy came at around 9 am and could not fix the issue and left. we have not been able to commumicate with outside world since the time we checked in. We have been very patient but cannot be without internet or phone any longer.We are leaving now. The door is locked, lights turned off and trash stowed away.We will not be returning and expect full refund for the stay.We would probably left last night if you had not assured us and if it were safe to do so.This has been a horrible experience. You have ruined thr vacation for my mother who was visiting us from abroad.Internet working was the most important requirement for a place like this where cell phone does not work. We would have never booked a place without a working WIFI. It was your responsibility to ensure that it was working before we checked in. Half of our stay is over and it was still not workingThis is not the only problem though-1. Bathroom sink is clogged. Pictures taken.2. Bathroom door does not lock. Pictures taken.3. No paper towel in kitchen. Had to use toilet paper. Pictures taken.We expect a full refund without any delay.

Read description carefully

We were disappointed to open the door to a warm, stale, musty, cabin. After looking to turn air condition down and create airflow we realized that there was no A/ C. Maybe I should have looked closer at description as it does only list heat. Lucky for us it was cool for end of May. However in my defense they let you know twice that it has a private washer and dryer. But never mention lack of air. Also driveway is very steep and narrow. With the speed needed to get up the driveway the post for handrail is very close . That said furniture, room, and kitchen supplies were all nice.

extremely poor service from Vacasa

Vacasa service was extremely poor and non-existent when our family was faced with very difficult conditions. We got stuck without food in the cabin when the driveway was covered with a sheet of ice. There were 2 snow shovels, but no salt was provided. I made multiple calls to the number Vacasa gave me for help, but they never followed up. Fortunately, the park rangers in the area were unbelievably good and finally delivered food to our cabin around 9:30 pm. When the temperature drops to -10 or so, we lost the power and cabin got really cold. We left the cabin one day early. I do not recommend this place during the winter.

Great location but management could be better

The location of the place is very good. And the place itself is nice. But The house wasn’t clean good. I guess the beds were changed and the floor was swept in the living room. But it wasn’t clean properly. All kitchen cabinets were greasy. There were crumbs in all the drawers and some dishes were dirty. The floor also was sticky, there was pieces of food in the corners on the kitchen floors and very dirty under the beds and the couch. The management wasn’t so great also. The night before the check out snowed so much and in the morning all the roads were icy and snowed. The incline of the driveway to get to the house is very high. If you don’t have a truck you will hit the bottom of your car 100 percent. I asked if we can do check out at 11 am instead of 10 am to clean up the driveway and to let the ice to melt a little. And I didn’t want the kids to wait outside for an hour. I was afraid that my car will just slide down to the woods as soon as I will start going down on this driveway. I have been told that we can’t wait until 11 and we need to leave. We checked out at 10 am but still stayed down the road to wait until the ice will melt. There was no cleaners or new guests coming for another 2 hours that we were outside.

Not an accurate description

In the description it isn't very clear as to what room is the master. When we arrived the bigger bathroom was by the room that had a loft over it. In no way does anyone want the master to share a loft for kids. Both bathroom were detached from the rooms. There were absolutely no hangers to put away clothes. The room with bunkbeds didnt have a closet or dresser to store clothes. There kitchen was outdated and the garbage disposal kept stopping up. The crock pot that was there was from the 80s and the pans were useless. Everything stuck to them no matter how much butter or cooking spray you used. The house was very dark and is in very much need of more lighting. There was 15 differnt switches in every room. We called on the first day about the house smelling like propane and we didn't receive a call back for almost 2 days. No one came out, they just said the gas fireplace didn't have an exhaust fan. We had to leave doors or windows open to vent the house so it didn't smell like propane. The stairs that go down to vehicle parking area were not lit at all! It was very dangerous to try to walk down at night. You had to shine your cell phone light to be able to walk down it without breaking your neck. The driveway was almost impossible for us to use. We have a full size SUV and it was very hard to pull in and out of without scrubbing the front or back of the truck coming into it. You also had to back down the driveway because there wasn't enough room to turn around. You also had to come in from the other access road to the property and drive and extra 3/4 mile because the turn into the driveway was impossible from the short way in. All in all the stay was not worth the price at all. I wouldn't recommend this property.

Great Home

Great home with good atmosphere. As described. No issues. But the driveway is very narrow with an awkward entrance and very very steep. But that was disclosed in the listing. A great location with a very cool friendly vibe. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
