Strawberry Wine Romantic Hot Tub Cabin

The location was perfect!

The location was extremely convenient, centralized to everything. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen well stocked. There were plenty of spare sheets laying around in plastic bags which allowed me to feel more comfortable on the couch once covered. The hot tub seemed clean but I wasn't sure how to remove the cover. The smell of chlorine was overpowering as well (clean, but I didn't want to sit in the water and absorb/breathe all that).

It was so, so dark and depressing. Being able to open the doors would have helped tremendously but there were no screens so the dog could get out and bugs in. The place was only clean on a surface level, but was in dire need of a true deep clean. The HVAC intake was caked with dust, fur, and dirt. The wood trim inside the cabin was collecting dust. The lower shelf of the coffee table hadn't been wiped and was full of dirt. The basket for hot tub towels hadn't been cleaned around for many turns. These things made me question the cleanliness that I couldn't see being that it was so very dark in the cabin. The windows were so dirty you could barely see out. The shower liner looked dirty and the shower was so dark. I booked this to take a bath but the bathtub edge had multiple areas of dirt and perhaps blood that I didn’t dare soak in it. I ended up booking a hotel nearby and leaving this cabin after just 1 night. Host offered to send cleaners but honestly, what would they have done differently? I'm not here to QC your investment and direct your cleaners; I'm here to enjoy peace from my job (which is property management!). No refund was offered, not even partial. I hate to leave a bad review, I have spent over a decade being disappointed in privately owned stays but leaving no public review as to not hurt the host - but I'm so sick of being burned by perfectly staged photos and arriving to a mess that hasn't been looked at by the owner in years (when they took the beautiful photos). Hosts need to do better. Guests need to stop letting bad stays go without speaking up.

the driveway.

the beds were super uncomfortable. no cleaning supplies, incase you spill something or have an accident.

Close to attractions and shops and quiet.

A lot of Ants inside and out, the light bulbs flickered sporadically , the grass was 2 foot high and much more in places around the hot tub area, patio near the hot tub was infested with centipedes and huge ants, the dryer does not work, one side of the cabin covered in poison ivy and vines even coming inside the kitchen window and door. Cabin was not clean when we arrived and the grass and weeds growing in the parking lot had obviously been growing for a month or more. The neighboring cabin was very well taken care of so. We understand rain and bugs being in the mountains but to us, this stay was pitiful. We contacted the owner about these issues as they unfolded.

The location and pet friendly

The tiny bed was a little uncomfortable to sleep on

Location was great! The cabin was so cozy like a home away from home! The kitchen was nice to cook meals and the outdoor space was nice and private.

I loved the location of the cabin very secluded but near by all the attractions we wanted to visit. The cabin was cute and cozy. Equipped with lots of amenities.

Everything was perfect
