Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Yes the hot tub was great and the cabin was very comfortable. The host were very accommodating. The yard was fenced which made it great for kids or dogs. It was very little traffic on the road.

2/10 Terrible

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, location

Cleanliness poor. Mgmt failure to oversee property.

Grumpy Bear could be a comfortable property. Pet friendly, with fenced areas. Kitchen and bathroom filthy. Failure to properly clean and maintain these areas over an extended period was obvious. I was compelled to clean both, prior to using. Wearing shoes in the shower... Property mgmt was friendly, offered both refund in cleaning fee and a slight reduction in fees, as well as a refund in cleaning items needed. That said, they never reimbursed my cleaning material fees. Shame on you Mountain Realty!!! Might I add...the washing machine smelled like cat pee. I scrubbed the machine, added washer cleaning powders. It smells better, but...still smells a bit like a cat box. The dryer vent is a fire hazard. Filthy and clogged. Good luck. This could be a comfortable rental. Not for me...highly disappointed.
