Unsafe, Poorly Maintained, Not Worth the Price
We encountered a large bear immediately at arrival that had chewed through the exterior into the bedroom! The host knew about the extremely active bear situation but didn't warn us until 1.5 hours after check-in. Bears appeared daily. They got in & on cars.
Security & maintenance were also terrible. The host gave US the EXACT SAME door access code used by the week prior guest. The roof leaked causing my daughter to slip. The cabin was worn and can use some TLC. Pans desperately need updated, door frames & shower tiles were coming of, kitchen sink wouldnt shut off.Instead of enjoying vacation, we spent the week dealing with wildlife personnel & repairs.
Cleaning practices are concerning. Despite a large cleaning fee, guests must strip beds, empty fireplace ashes, wash & put away dishes.We were warned that dishes in the cupboards might be dirty bc cleaners don’t wash them.
While we dealt with the bear breach, the host monitored his parking camera and falsely accused us of extra guests (neighbors looking at bear in trap). He focused on surveillance over our safety, then tried to back out of promised 1 day refund.
Vrbo had to intervene to compensate us from their own funds after reviewing our safety, privacy, security, and other concerns.
With bears breaching the house without warning, leaks, reused security codes, intrusive monitoring, and an unhelpful host, this stay was a nightmare. I would not recommend this property to anyone.
