Total disappointment

The description of this listing is way off. The map is basically useless finding the cabin. Doesn't state it's up a winding one way road barely wide enough for 1 vehicle which we were almost ran off of trying to find the cabin. At the turn onto the gravel portion of the road the right side of the road is severely washed out and impossible for a regular car to go up. We ended up renting a different cabin from another host. I will never book with Vacasa again

Unfortunately we were only there for one night before having issue with the water and Vacasa acted very quickly to move us to another cabin. This was a cute little very rustic cabin. Had a beautiful view. It is secluded in the woods if that is what you are looking for. We enjoyed the one afternoon and evening we were there. Sort of like glamping in this one.

It is a quaint house, couch needs replaced, hot tub was not working:(. The little yard needed weedeated, Bathroom is small but nice and clean, no dishwasher but I don’t mind washing a few dishes :), the washer and dryer in the below area was a No for us, it had items laid across it and they were dirty so we just brought home clothes to wash. Kids do not need to be on the rails hanging or leaning to heavily on, they need stabilized. Bring all the condiments you need from salt and pepper to other things, it is not stocked like some of the other cabins. Work has been done on it and the view is beautiful:) beware of driveway, it’s like a one lane road and steep, we only met someone 1 time and they backed up. For the money I would give it a 4, for the cleanliness of outside 2, cleanliness of Inside 4. We had a good time and enjoyed the view, the property manager was quick to respond and got us in early. I really wish the hot un had worked. But I think I have been very fair and honest on my review :)

Nice and tidy little cabin, beautiful views and setting - Vacasa managed though…

Great spot just outside of Townsend. We go down a couple times a year to hike and fish. We were pleasantly surprised at the property, some previous reviews made it sound not too appealing, but was clean and perfectly fine. Only issue is that the property is managed by Vacasa, which I thought wasn’t allowed by Vrbo. The Vacasa check in and “Identity verification” is clunky and seems like a scam. They threatened to cancel my reservation because I didn’t answer the scammy sounding call and voicemail - even though I booked and paid through Vrbo.

Almost Heaven needs some work

Overall I give 4 of 5 stars. It’s is a diamond in the rough. The setting is gorgeous- views are amazing. The road to get to the cabin is not the stairway to heaven. The cabin itself is wonderful. The hot tub is not working and we were not notified of this prior to arrival. Again views are heavenly, thus the name fits. More trash bags and towels would have been great. Also needs some extra/throw blankets for the cold season. The fireplace gives a wonderful ambiance. Would stay again.

Don’t waste your money.

Dead bugs all over the place upon arrival including on furniture, beds and in cabinets on “clean”dishes. Furniture was incredible uncomfortable. Couch was covered in sticky stuff and recliner was broken. Beds were very uncomfortable. We didn’t get restful sleep the whole trip. Carpet was stained and disgusting. The cabin was generally outdated. For the price we paid I expected ALOT more comfort. Everything was so gross and uncomfortable that I was not able to relax. Waste of money.

Will not be coming back. Gross

I wish that I had looked at the reviews before booking. The entire house smelled like dog and pee. It was one of the worst smells I have ever experienced. We had to sleep with the doors open it was so bad. There were bugs everywhere when we got there. I messaged them and was told that the local staff was coming to help with the cleaning and smell and no one showed. Hot tub was broken which was one of the main reasons we wanted to stay there. We will not be coming back. The view was pretty but I will never stay in a place that is dirty like that again. You can tell the place didn’t get cleaned before we came. There was hair all over the bathtub, dirt around the sink, bugs in every area of the house and the smell was absolutely disgusting. For as much as we paid to stay here you would think it would be clean.

Tiny cabin, spectacular mountain views!

This cabin is perfect for 1-2 people who plan to spend most of their time either on the porch staring at the mountains, or out exploring the area. There unfortunately wasn’t any local tv available or wifi but there was plenty of service to use phones. The views make up for it though!

This cabin was filthy. Crumbs on cabinet. Floors not swept or mopped. Furniture has not been dusted in who knows when. Carpet was so filthy you need to burn it. Hot tub broke. Cable in living room not working. Only in bedroom and the bed should be thrown out with cleaning crew. Only thing good was the view from porch. I should be compensated for staying there. I have been renting for years and this was the worst experience. The rental was through vacasa. I will never rent from them again and would not recommend them to another person or even a dog.
