Had to talk with management way to much
The stay was not as relaxing as we hoped. I excess info to get in the rental was incorrect. Had to stand at the door and call management to get in. The main floor has a lot of black mark staining and the upstairs carpet in the bedroom also had stain marks. Called management again and took pictures to show issues were there when we arrived. The fire place did not work the draft was broke so when we did try a start a fire it filled the cabin with smoke. The rental provided a key to a firebox for wood but it storage unit was empty. The refrigerator was way to small it would be fine for a hotel but not for a house rental.

Good location
This is a reasonably priced, well-stocked cabin. It is good for a small family or a couple. I would not recommend for two couples as you must walk through one bedroom to get to the other. It was a bit inconvenient having the bathroom on the first floor and bedrooms on the second. Also would have been a plus if wood and kindling was available for the wood stove.

Simple Cabin
You will need to buy your own firewood. The internet was dead when we arrived, and the owner got it reset. The air filter on the ductless heater was so clogged it didnt operate. I washed the screens and it ran fine from there. The cabin is cute, comfortable, and was great for us.

Cute little cottage, great location
Cute little cottage with a great location behind the Huckleberry Inn. Needs some updating ! The front door is especially troublesome. It’s very flimsy and the lock sticks horribly. I couldn’t actually enter the property when I arrived and was outside calling the management for over an hour before one of the neighbors actually helped me to get in. The door and locks need to be completely replaced. The management office did not answer the phone. It was extremely frustrating after a long day of traveling. They came out the next day to address the situation … which helped but the lock was still sticky and I was nervous about getting liked out again. The inside of the unit is cute and has everything you need but it’s very small. The couch only seats 2 and is closely positioned to the fireplace. The kitchen is updated and nice for making coffee in the morning. The unit could desperately use some window coverings. The lights from the parking lot and town are bright and flood the bedrooms at night. It’s very difficult to sleep without adding towels or sheets over the windows to block out the brightness. Overall the location can’t be beat if you’d like to be in Govy. Super close to all the restaurants and shops and an easy drive to all the great hiking spots near by.

Nice cozy place.
See Title. Only drawback was the lack of wood in the porch wood shed, but that was easily remedied by a walk to the Govy General.

Cozy cabin
The cabin was just fine for the two of us. The space heater in the kitchen area kept the whole place reasonably comfortable without starting a fire in the fireplace.

Cozy cabin
Truly a cozy cabin. Positives were that cabin was exceedingly clean, and in a wonderful location— center of town and restaurants were a medium walk or very short drive. Our major negative may have been our fault. 2 bedrooms, both on second floor, one bathroom, we did not realize on first floor. Was not clear to us when we rented. Not optimum for 2 70yo. Heating system also interesting. Ceiling heater for first floor, space heater for second floor. Little challenging to figure out, but, once we did, worked fine. Kitchen small, but well appointed and was fine. For price, great value. Great for long weekend.

Amazing decor and great location
My boyfriend and I loved this little cabin. This cabin is ADORABLE and in a great location- super close to Timberline Lodge, the general store and some bars/restaurants. We happened to bring a laptop and speaker and enjoyed a night in watching a movie by the fireplace as it snowed out (no TV in cabin FYI). We would love to stay here again!

Cozy cottage
This place was small but cute. I actually found the kitchen quite functional for cooking. It does seem to be more popular as a winter destination, but we were there in the summer. It can get quite hot in this location in the summer and the one thing that would really improve the place is providing something to prop open the windows, only a few of which could actually be a opened. Maybe a fan? I had to rig the windows open with various books and household items. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

Good location
Would stay here again for sure. Our only issues were with customer service. Communication with Vacasa was very poor. I received no response to my messages for weeks. There was no marked parking, leaving us to guess where to park, and the property manager very rudely told us we were parked in the wrong area. Why not paint parking lines? Why not politely ask us to move as opposed to using blatant rudeness? The property was very clean, well-kept, and in an excellent location. Although the customer service was all around very poor, I would recommend the property. Walking distance to everything, and an all around great deal!

Hunter, thank you so much for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the home! We are so so sorry that you had a negative experience with our customer service team. We strive to provide our guests with the best service to ensure a safe and welcoming stay. We sincerely apologize that these standards we not met during your time with us. Your feedback has been passed along to our management team. In regards to the parking options at this home, parking is not reserved and can be tight around the house. The best option is to unload and then find an available spot close by. During winter months, you’ll need a SnoPark permit, which you can buy at the Huckleberry Inn, the General Store, or other retailers. I hope this helps clarify the parking options. We hope to have the opportunity to impress you in the future!

There for summer ski camp.
Location is fantastic, check in and out were easy. Packed all of our food for 8 days coming out of state because of covid and didnt realize it was a teeny mini-fridge, so be mindful of that, it was a small disaster. This could be a cute little functional cabin, but it isn't. This is the perfect cabin for you and your family if: *You like giving free peep shows to the neighborhood. *You do not like fresh air coming through your house. *You are there for ski camp and your child can't fall asleep when theyre dead tired because its still light outside. BECAUSE THERE'S NO CURTAINS ON SOME BEDROOM WINDOWS OR SEE THROUGH CURTAINS ON OTHERS. Weirdest thing ever. No blinds or anything. The bathroom is too small to change in, the curtain rods that are there are too flimsy to hold a blanket, it was absolutely ridiculously terrible. There is not a dishwasher so all things are done by hand. So, not any real sanitization happening. Who cleaned my untensils and dishes I was using? previous renters im assuming, highly doubt someone came through and sanitized since we're asked to wash our dishes before leaving. It just didn't seem like with coronavirus they had a good system, and inwasnt comfortable and had to wash everything by hand myself before use. The windows dont open, and there's isnt a screen door, it finally got warm and we had a bear. I have bears here, this one came into the cabin door and I had to scare it out and off my porch. I get it, but I didn't like being holed up in the cabin because there's no screen type door and the windows dont slide open. A couple easy fixes and adding a full size fridge and this cabin would be doable for the price.

Great location and quaint little cabin
This cabin was a perfect location and tucked back quietly off the main drag of government camp. Easy to walk to downtown for an evening drink or bite to eat. Well stocked kitchen given the size and two nice size bedrooms upstairs. Very cozy inside!
