We loved the view from the porch out back. We were able to look for wildlife.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Nov 2024
The cabin is beautiful, and the photos truly reflect its charm. We especially loved that each room featured a king-size bed. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when booking:
1. Notifications: Be sure to enable VRBO notifications. I missed several important messages from Jane until the first day of our stay, which made check-in stressful. She requested names, phone numbers, and ages of all guests, as well as IDs to confirm that everyone was 28 or older. If anyone is under 28, a parent must be present. One of our guests was just under 28, but Jane kindly made an exception. Some guests felt uncomfortable with the strict requirements, as we had not encountered such detailed restrictions with other rentals. Others understood that Jane may have had prior negative experiences with renters, and it appears this is a standard procedure based on other reviews.
2. Rules & Guidelines: Read all rules and requirements carefully. For example, no noise, parties, or gatherings are allowed, and we were required to wash and dry towels used for the hot tub before leaving. Honestly, we were paranoid of missing something from the rule book and thought we’d get charged extra if we did.
3. Credit Card Fees: Be aware that the 3% credit card fee needs to be paid separately before receiving the entry code. We assumed it was covered with the large payment, but it wasn’t.
Overall, the stay was lovely, but these small details made it stressful.
