First, the house is beautiful- wood & rustic, beautifully decorated & modern kitchen.
Access-If you are looking for something in the woods on a pond, this is it! However, your GPS will not take you to this house. Many of the roads are old & washed out, all of them in the vicinity are gravel.
Stairs-tons of very steep steps- this house is not for bad knees, dogs or children! Many steep steps to even get from car to front door. The beds (K, Q & bunk beds) are all in the loft, which is up ladder-like stairs. Very scary in the middle of the night.
Recreation-There IS swimming at the pond, which is spring fed, but high in iron (waters red, not clear). It’s walkable from the house & even has a tiny sand beach. The boulder is walkable & very cool.
Cleanliness- dust flying around, massive cobwebs. Beds were sandy/hard. Appliances & dishes all clean. Bathroom was clean, towels clean, but I did have ants on my toothbrush a few mornings. House overall smelled musty & Smokey.
Privacy/security- neighbors nice, friendly & engaging. However, the house did NOT lock. The keypad entry was broken and half way through the week when someone popped by & gave us keys - they did not work. I didn’t like staying overnight in an unlocked house in the woods.
Customer Service- I contacted Expedia, Vbro & Vacasa in advance to try & move reservation & no one would help even though it was open. contacted Vacasa about other issues & they only argued with me.
Will NEVER book Vacasa again.
