Good: clean, nice neighborhood, and near shops and restaurants. Property management is responsive via email.
So so: beds and furnishings are on the older side. Mattresses need replacing. Picnic table shown in patio photo is not there.
Bad: 1/2 roll toilet paper, no toiletries, and no laundry/dishwasher detergent. Dish soap was watered down. Should state BYO in ad. Property management team states will cancel your reservation if you do not provide ID & respond to their survey within a week of reserving. Should also be stated at time of reservation.

Would not stay here again
After staying at this cabin with my family of 5 I was very shocked that it received such great ratings. The location and sleeping arrangements were fantastic for our family. Unfortunately, the positive comments stop there. The cabin was filthy. Upon our arrival our seven year old found toys on the floor by the couch. Our 13 year old found multiple makeup items in the bedroom. The carpet and kitchen flooring was disgusting. The bedding looked like it had not been washed in years. I could go on about the cleanliness but you get the picture. Our family has stayed at many VRBO"s and has never experienced a place that is not stocked. We had 5 towels, 1 wash cloth, 1 kitchen towel, & 1/2 roll of paper towels left out for us. No spices, no salt or pepper to cook with. We had to purchase spices, paper towels, oil to cook with, among other items that are usually in a VRBO. Due to these issues we would definitely not recommend this place.
