We truly enjoyed our stay at Forbidden Plateau but do not feel like the cost and fees were appropriate. We were greatly disappointed with the lack of communication from the host. We messaged them four times over two days (via VRBO and the phone number provided) before they vaguely responded to us, and did not answer or address our inquires. We traveled with a 2 year old and expected the crib that was in the posting picture to be available. There was no crib to be found on site, and we never received a response about this. This was stressful as there are lofts and stairs in every room. Thankfully we had packed a blow up mattress, just in case, and were able to move furniture to block the stairs. The kitchen has an excellent selection of spices and cookware, but no other helpful cooking necessities, so definitely stock up on bases.
The house, view, porch, hot tub, property, and surrounding areas were all incredible and we loved hiking from the house. The beds were soft and comfortable and we truly felt relaxed after our stay. We unfortunately would not stay here again as the total cost of this stay was almost triple our other stays in Comox Valley and had a third of the amenities, supplies, quality of items, and convenience.
