Great View but…
We selected this unit for our combined birthday/anniversary kayak vacation. We inquired about access to the lake from this cabin and received an email response stating that there was access. The listing photos showed access but apparently the photos were taken last year when the lake water level was way below normal. What we got was a wildly overgrown area that was impassable. This alone (for us) was a serious issue.
We decided that we would go around the weeds to get to the water by walking along the edge of the neighboring property. But when we checked all the notices mounted near the front entry doors, we noticed one that said if we launched our kayaks from the adjacent properties “we could be evicted” from the cabin.
Pros - inside of cabin was as shown in listing; kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates, bowls, pots & pans, and utensils; even had crock pot & instant pot; beds were comfortable;
Cons - upon arrival (after strange check-in) we had an extremely potent odor that smelled like ant spray or some other pesticide. Fortunately cabin had 3 box fans so we could open all windows & doors to ventilate the whole place; had to wash plates, bowls, cups and eating & cooking utensils before using them; property between cabin and lake was overgrown with 3’ to 4’ weeds which prevented us from being able to launch our kayaks from our property.
All in all, this was definitely the worst experience we have ever had with a VRBO property. And we’ve stayed in many units.
