Upon arrival, there were no check instructions shared and had to speak with VRBO to get in. Messages to the host went unanswered which is not surprising as a week before we had inquiries which also went unanswered. (We spoke to him about renting a boat, to which he offered to facilitate and when details were shared, nada.) After 2 hours of being locked out of the property, we got in to the cabin that was 85 degrees inside with no instructions for the thermostat. Good thing there is Google. We didn't come here for the internet, but please don't say you have wifi with the connections that exist there. Call I what it is, it's fine…just be honest.
The property sits approximately 50 feet from an extremely busy road. Not exactly tranquility. In fact, quite a loud place to be. Lake accessibility is also deceptive as it's not a quick jaunt, but a car ride. The connected pond is remote but there are trespassing warnings which is a little disheartening.
We made the best of it. Needless to say, we won't be going back. Quite pricey for the experience. This is our first bad experience with VRBO. We hope future sites we look at will be a little more honest and communicative.
