Unfortunately, I cannot leave a good review of this airbnb. While my boyfriend and I were excited by the rustic description online, it was very unkept. When I arrived, I posted a photo of the inside of the cabin online and had many local friends ask me how they could book it for themselves, but after our trip was cut short due to finding lots of mold under the kitchen sink, I can’t recommend this to them. Apart from the mold, which was affecting my sinuses, the overall condition of the cabin was also not up to par with what I had expected from an Airbnb service. The pedestal sink in the bathroom is not bolted to the floor so it rocks back and forth, there are loose and sharp rocks on the main floor downstairs and one of the couches was broken with splintering wood sticking out. The bed was also extremely uncomfortable and folds into a taco, making it impossible for my boyfriend and I to sleep in it together. The listing also says the kitchen has oil, salt, pepper, wine glasses, and notes/a map of the area - none of which were present.
When I asked David for oil, salt & pepper to be able to make our food, he said that they do not provide oil and that they were out of salt and pepper shakers. Nothing more was done to provide these for us. I also asked him where I could go to hike in the area and did not receive a response.
Upon reporting our early exit and sending photos of the mold, I received a response that David was unaware of the situation and that I would be refunded. At the end of it all, Airbnb communicated directly with him and told me that I would not be fully refunded and then proceeded to finalize the partial refund and not reply any more to my messages. It is unfortunate that David did not take care to refund me fully for a total health violation, regardless of if he was aware of it or not. The Airbnb site states clearly that “Listings should be free of health hazards (ex: mold, pests, or vermin).” On top of everything, David charged me an extra fee for my ESA dog, which also goes directly against Airbnb’s guidelines. The cabin has alot of potential to be much nicer, but as is, I would not recommend.
