Honest Opinion!
House was nice there were issues but I won’t write them on the review. I let the owner know and hopefully that get resolve they stated they would refund me and I’m still waiting for that to happen. Other than that I would give the house a 3. Definitely in a secluded part of deep creek. But the outside needs to be cleaned up with a deep clean there are webs everywhere which makes you not even want to go outside. The hot tub we didn’t use didn’t look to be cleaned.

Golden A Frame
Pictures of the property mislead me. I’ll own that. We’re a mature couple And we had higher expectations for the furniture comfort (couches and beds). Worst aspect was the beds. Mattresses were sponge material. You sink into the bed and it was an affront to change position or even roll over on this mattress. We opted to leave early rather than attempt a 2nd night sleeping in the sponge. All that being said … if a young family rented this home, I’m thinking it may be a home run.

Nice getaway
The cabin was small but had everything we needed for a nice weekend. We had some trouble with the code and not being able to re-enter the property but the property management team worked with me to get us in. They were very helpful and I appreciate their patience and knowledge of working through the issue as I was a little stressed about it. We played the games in the lower level. My dog was afraid to use the spiral stairs so we didn’t utilize the upper level and took our pup to the lower level from the outside. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and cookware. We also enjoyed the hot tub and cooked some hot dogs on the grill. We had a nice time here.

Nice quiet escape
We had a lovely quiet weekend. Perfect spot for a weekend get away. The front door lock malfunctioned and the property manager quickly responded and had a new lock installed. We even got some great tips for restaurants from the kind gentleman that installed it.

Rustic getaway
Quiet, peaceful setting at the end of a steep, private road. Kids/teens enjoyed the game room in the basement, outdoor swings, large deck with plenty of seating, grill, and hot tub. Be prepared for no AC. Bedrooms have ceiling fans. We brought a box fan which was useful in the main living space.

Weekend get away
Pulled into the driveway and noticed that there were cob webs and dirt all over the exterior. Once inside the place was clean. The blower to clean the deck off was dead and when asked for a new battery to blow off the deck no one responded. We found a house broom and cleaned enough so we could use the deck and hot tub area. There were a few exterior lights that did not work and no tub stopper for our 2 year old to take a bath. Overall this is a very nice place but needs a clean upon the exterior.

Look elsewhere
This property was not ready for us when we checked in. The driveway, walkway and deck was not cleared of snow when we arrived. It took several calls and negotiations to get a response from the property management company. The property management company told us there is a snow shovel near by and salt is next door. The main bathroom sink does not drain, loose tiles in the bathroom, missing window trim in the living room and cob webs throughout the property - very dusty. This property is not well maintained.

Cozy winter stay!
My husband and I and our two daughters absolutely loved our stay at the Golden A-frame! The neighborhood is quiet and secluded. The house is so beautiful with such great touches! We lucked out with our stay and timed it during major snowfall which added to the beauty! Thank goodness for our 4WD! Or two pups were not impressed with the cold temps and snow, but loved the woodstove. They were scared of the sprial open staircases, so we ended up carrying them up and down as needed. We would definitely recommend staying at this charming house!

Perfect Cabin Getaway
The cabin was just what we were hoping for. We had a great stay with some friends. The hot tub and fireplace were exactly what our chilly and rainy fall weekend needed. The first floor beds are VERY soft so if you are a firm mattress person use the bedroom on the bottom floor.

Fun cabin getaway
Clean, modern, and cozy cabin. For those reserving this cabin in the future, be sure to bring all the kitchen essentials - coffee filters, k cups, spices, condiments, and oil. We ended up having to make a run to the grocery store (nearest store 20 minutes away) for these basics. Also, pick up some firewood on your way in to the cabin! We kept a fire burning during our whole stay and I regret bringing my axe instead of purchasing firewood. Great stay!

Our 7 day vacation stay at an A frame house
The modern A frame house was very pretty with above average amenities . However , I feel we were deceived : It was suppose to have an intendo gaming system in the loft and it was NOT there Nor were there any games . Main problem which minimized our comfort was the main “ceiling fan” was not working . They claimed everything was working and operable when we checked it but in reality after calling vacasa many times And insisting that they come and inspect it , they said it needed a new unit which would take a week or so . We therefore did not have a main large ceiling fan during a week that was quite hot and humid in the woods! Also , we could NOT leave screen doors open (2 out of 3) because the screens were not properly sized to the size of door and there was a gap of 1/4 of an I nch on top and bugs could get in! Made it hot and uncomfortable to cook in the kitchen and eat with just a regular fan. Last but not least the basement bedroom had no closet . They provided a flimsy coat hook attached to wall . When I was trying to hang a couple of my outfits it fell down and made Hole in wall. Couldn’t hang most of my Clothing in the room. There was another small One on the right side which I used for nightgowns and beach attire , bathing suits etc.. As I said before during my numerous conversations with vacasa managers: someone needs to do a thorough inspection of entire house and repair/ fix and r provide what is missing . Lousy excuse was given to us that they could not check it because it was rented during prior week . They can still come and repair and or inspect right ? They had from 10 Am to 4 pm to do a thorough walk thru inspection but they were negligent in doing so . If items cannot be timely fixed or available they should be removed from amenities provided otherwise it’s misleading . I am waiting for at least a 25 percent discount on the cost of the weekly rental for all my time , frustration and inconveniences Sincerely Magaly Dunckley
