Lets start with the many positives. This is a beautiful cabin. It has been very well taken care of and is exceptionally clean. There are lots of different hang out areas that allow several families to be together without it being loud and chaotic. With the pool table, ping pong table, a karaoke machine, and tons of board and card games, there is a lot to keep people busy. The beds are great and there are many of them. It has, hands down, the best stocked kitchen of any of the many VRBO properties I have stayed at! And top that off with owners that are great to work with. They are very organized and even allowed us to change our reservation to a different weekend to accommodate some family stuff that came up.

Here's the one negative- but its kind of a big one. You are expected to clean the large majority of the cabin before you leave including sweeping, mopping and vacuuming all floors, making all 8 or 9 beds, cleaning the BBQ grill, loading up and taking all trash several miles down the road to the dumpster, emptying dishwasher, wiping down the whole kitchen (including the microwave and fridge) as well as cleaning bathroom sinks, mirrors, and counters etc. We are very clean people, but we got up at 6 (on our last day of vacation) in order to have breakfast, get everything done, and be out of there by 10:00. But here's the kicker- after all that we still paid a $220 cleaning fee.

In all fairness, this wasn't a surprise. We signed a contract beforehand. We just underestimated the annoyance we would feel at having to get up at 6 to do a bunch of work that we were also paying someone else to do. As much as we loved the cabin, I don't know if we would do it again.
