Wires to some plug are inside the wall exposed very musty smell. Grounds very unkept and overgrown. No blinds on bedroom windows with crack on the one I took pics of. I have sent my concerns to VRBO.

Disappointed
Let me put myself out there first. Yes, we did arrive early. Check in was at 2 and we got to go in around 12:20. We waited in the car with the air on because my dog was in the car and the host was cleaning the house. She said I was rude for sitting in the driveway for 45 minutes waiting on her to finish. Her husband came outside to stand the satellite dish back up, it was lying on the ground. When we went inside the T.V. screen said it was updating so we unpacked and went to eat. 2 hours later we come back to see the satellite dish back on the ground and the T.V. wouldn't work. The owners stated they would not be coming back so we communicated via text. They said to set the T.V. up with ROKU. We followed their instructions and it still wouldn't work. It would've been nice to watch some in the evenings after dark. Also when I was preparing brunch Sat. morning I found that some of the cookware and utensils weren't washed very well. Outside of that we had a 3 day mini vacay, going to The Caverns in TN for a concert in the cave. Great show.

Oh well
We never actually made it to Alabama as we got really sick over Christmas, so the host got a really nice bonus and super clean renters, lol. I did have to add a day before we got sick and the host was very helpful then but did not speak to me after I told her we could not make it. Oh well, life happens.

Cool Thanksgiving Trip
My family moved from Minnesota to Florida in 2021. We missed the cool crisp air, fall colors and all the beautiful experiences of the Midwest in the fall. We chose Alabama because mother nature isn't as abusive there in November but we got a taste of back home. Beautiful sunrise and set. Woods to roam, bonfires with great conversations and smores for the littles as we all reflected on the beauty and experience of each day. Communication from Amy was immediate and always helpful. You can tell she put so much energy in decorating and making this cabin feel like a home away from home. We will be back!

Property description is accurate. Coffee pot needs to be replaced. The heat used on the property is ventless gas wall heaters so if you don’t know how to ignite it I would suggest posting instructions on the property. Other than that this is great place to stay for a fishing trip! Secluded and nice and quiet.
