Vacasa cancelled my stay and refuse to refund
Two days before check-in I got an email from Vacasa saying under no circumstances should I check in for this stay because of the Helene weather conditions. I then got check-in instructions, a welcome note, and after a day an inquiry whether the cleanliness met my expectations. I called to request a refund and was told no refunds with no exceptions; I could rebook there or elsewhere for a stay within 30 days. My schedule was arranged around this stay and there is no way I can reschedule a stay in the next 30 days. I also live in the Helene-affected area and need the refund more than a vacation. Vacasa needs to make exception to their no-refund policy under these exceptional circumstances.

Vintage is great, OLD is not.
This place was ok. Not great, not terrible. It was surface clean but needs a deep cleaning. The furniture is in need of replacing throughout the whole condo. Great location, quiet area, but it’s time to let the 80’s go and buy some new stuff

Overall good, but with some surprises.
Cozy aka small condo was overall nice. The downsides that I think other renters should be aware of are:
•Two short flights of stairs (in a "switch back" configuration) that made carrying in luggage a challenge. Also the interior stairs up to the "loft" area are extremely steep and have very small steps. I would guarantee that most elderly/large/tall people would not be able climb them. Even having kids going up and down those stairs would concern me. Also the condo has oddly angled walls in the kitchen (half the galley kitchen is "cut" in half with a 45 degree wall) and in the main bedroom. When entering on one side of the bed, you have to duck if you are over 5'-9" .
The condo is located in a nice mountain neighborhood and even has a stream far below the small but usable balcony.
We enjoyed our stay until the last night when confronted with two cockroaches in the kitchen which kinda freaked the wife out when sleeping that night.
Overall for two adults, this property was nice and made for a decent stay and we would rent it again after some pest control (wife says maybe).

Great location!
Cleaning did not meet expectations specifically in the kitchen. Odd smell when you first enter. Older and could use new carpet. Location was great. Property management very responsive.

Holiday Stay
Very close to Sugar Mountain slopes. The property is a bit smaller than advertised or the pictures show and a bit more dated. What was most frustrating was the lack of kitchen elements: towels for drying dishes; tea kettle

Really enjoyed our stay. Loved the sound of the water running down the hillside and the fireplace.
Kitchen well equipped.
Bathroom had soap, shampoo, conditioner.
The couch has one side/cushion that is broken down, making it uncomfortable to sit on.
If there was a DVD player it was not obvious. :(
The ceiling fan hasn’t been cleaned in awhile, I was afraid to turn it on.
Too much furniture for the space.
WiFi drops multiple times an hour
No trash bags
Chocolate gunk in oven drawer (not us)
