We really loved this little cabin. There were a few things not quite finished with cleaning, although we appreciated the flexibility of the host in assisting us with shifting plans due to an approaching winter storm and the challenge this may have posed. Communication was not consistent. The owner/host uses a management agency that used AI to respond to our messages in the app. This system then directed us to communicate directly with the owner/host outside of the VRBO app. using personal phone numbers and emails. This made us a little uncomfortable as VRBO cautions against this. We sometimes received prompt responses and sometimes none from the host, although generally important questions/requests were answered and they were very flexible. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and found this to be a cozy spot close enough to town and many hiking trails in the area. It's right on the water, so in warmer weather this appears to be a great spot for water activities.
