Would like to preface this by saying that the property management company was very helpful and moved us to a new cabin as soon as they heard of our dissatisfaction at no extra charge. Very pleased with the outcome, Unfortunately, I feel like a review needed to be made on this cabin to help future families with their decision making process.
First of all, the “AC” is not central heating/air. It’s a very old window unit and other fans that is so loud when running that you can’t enjoy conversation inside the cabin and can’t get a good nights rest due to the dysfunctional fan upstairs. It was very hot the day we stayed and the AC needed to run full blast, maybe the heat isn’t as loud but if we weren’t offered another cabin we would have just left due to not being able to sleep comfortably.
The listing stated satellite/cable which seemed like was at the fault of VRBO, Melissa asked me where I saw it as soon as I brought it to her attention. But there is only 2 small TVs with a dvd collection, I know some people really enjoy watching the news so that was disappointing for my elderly family member with us.
There was no WiFi when we arrived despite being listed as an amenity. This was important when choosing because of my infants pulse/ox monitor and also video baby monitor. It didn’t seem like WiFi had been hooked up for quite some time as it was all sitting on the floor unplugged.
Under the couch there was layers of dog hair, we had to vacuum before putting out our baby gate because of the amount. I understand if the owners have pets, but they need to properly clean up after themselves. I’m assuming it was from them based off of the “yellow lab country” floor mats.
The kitchen is not properly stocked with pots/pans for a family who plans on cooking. Before we realized we were leaving this cabin we had to go purchase our own cooking tools and containers which was an unnecessary added expense. It’s very outdated.
Lastly, just a word for families who may have babies with them, only one room is actually dark at bedtime. The skylights do not have proper blinds on them and we literally had to put our baby in the bathroom to try and have him go to sleep at a decent time.
The pond across the road was nice, the location was nice, the porch was nice. But if you are staying for a week and don’t plan on leaving much this probably isn’t the cabin for you, we were pretty uncomfortable inside.
