The owner obviously spent money to have professional photos taken to list it on VRBO but has not spent a dime on it since then. We were so disappointed with this rental.
Pros: The view, the view, the view, the view!!! Stunning view from the deck. We loved sitting out there.
Cons: There is about 5 years worth of dust and cobwebs built up everywhere. Also, there are dead bugs in every corner and on every window sill. The kitchen curtain was so coated in dust and dirt, it was disgusting. There was dust covering everything hanging on the walls. Giant cobwebs hanging from the rafters over the shower. I understand this is a mountain cabin in the woods and that dirt and bugs are part of it but the cabin desperately needs a serious cleaning as this goes far beyond a build up from one cleaning to the next. It looks like it hasn't been truly cleaned in years. The dishwasher is not anchored or installed correctly so each time you go to use it, it pitches forward almost dumping out the dishes that are loaded. The kitchen is very far from fully stocked. The knives are so dull you can't cut butter much less chop and prepare a meal. There are not enough glasses or dishes for a family of 4 to eat 2 meals without having to wash everything. The door to the microwave is coated in some brown substance that was burned on there some time ago. The door to the oven had something white spilled in between the glass that was never cleaned out. The shower curtain liner was torn up and rather than replacing it, someone tried to tie it back together onto the hangers. The shower head is so old and covered in build up from the hard water that there is barely any water pressure. The TVs are about the smallest things I have ever seen. My computer monitor is bigger than these TVs are but they are labeled that they are tracked by GPS so you don't steal them just to add some class to the place (Sense the sarcasm). The linens provided are equivalent to a cheap roadside motel. The towels are thin and small. We were there for Easter weekend and the place still had Christmas decorations out which makes me think nobody has been there or done anything to it in the time in between.
If someone took some time and a little bit of money to update this place and clean it, it would be an incredible place to stay. Unfortunately, they have really let this place go.
