Unsafe

We got there and I have never used VRBO before I thought the property ID was our code to get in. We arrived late Friday and it was not. Call the property manager and she was rude and seem put out to help us get into our rental. Second, we found a DEAD MOUSE in one of the rooms. The we saw a live mouse couple different times during the stay. It is a mountain house there was no wood, they had whole tree they seem to start to cut up on the ground. Place and furniture were old and run down. Sectional couches we very uncomfortable and kept sliding apart. The Kitchen door by the grill was not locked upon arrival and we could not latch it the whole weekend. We reached out to the property manager through the whole weekend not a fun getaway. In addition, this a mountain house in winter it snowed a couple of time and got very icy, and they had not salt to lay down for our safety. Last they had 3 trash cans completely full we barely fit 2 bags of trash in them. We felt so unsafe this whole trip and afraid mice would get into our luggage. I would never recommend this property to anyone.

Wonderful

Amazing location. Right on the Chalk Creek. The kids fished and had plenty of water time. Kids loved the pool table and it got plenty of use. No A/C, but the attic fan makes it more than comfortable. Kitchen is pretty well stocked for your needs and the grill was in perfect condition. Would definitely recommend and we will be back for sure.
