Great place but was not aware the of how close the other houses were. The cabin behind us which was called "exceeds expectations" was very loud playing music until 3 am. We were not happy about that. Other than that, it was a nice place. Enjoyed the hot tub!
Mixed Bag - Needed to be cleaned outside as wet piled up leaves and acorns were very dangerous on walkways and decks. Mouldy, musty smell throughout house. However, sheets, towels, and bathrooms were clean.
The hot tub was the main reason for the booking and it was not usable - half full and too many chemicals. We were told that we would be refunded for the hot tub fee. That has not happened. Great cottage - 5 stars. No hot tub - 1 star. Total 3 stars
House was not a spacious 2200sf
Lack of directions - could not find the right driveway to the house
Lack of communication for checking in and out. Had to contact Vacasa to get the code to check in and also instructions for checking out. As well as the WiFi password.
NO Air Conditioning as the listing states
Shower had previous renters hairs on the walls
Bedroom Roku TV remote did not work
Hot Tub was nice
