My biggest takeaway with staying one night (originally scheduled for 11 nights) in this place, is that companies like Vacasa should not be buying up homes. Upon entering, the house was musty, smelly, and old. A place up in Volcano like that (where the weather can be drastic, and things can easily mold) needs care and attention. This place is completely abandoned until a new renter comes in. Have you ever been to a house where every room has a different smell? That would be this property. From the photos itself, it didn't look like what it did. The photos are overly brightened and the place looked a lot newer than it actually is.
We messaged Vacasa about our discomfort 2 hours after checking in. They replied that they would get back to us about a refund as we told them we were going to cancel our booking after 1 night. Later that night, we messaged them about the fireplace not working (at around 9pm). At 12am in the morning (when my phone was already turned off), they replied with instructions on turning the fireplace on. We were already half frozen to death by then. It was a cold, cold, night (and you know Volcano has higher elevation, so it's extra cold). In the morning, they told us they wouldn't refund ANY of the money to us – which was like 10 nights – without any explanation or further elaboration. Thank goodness Airbnb automatically gives you some money back after a cancellation or I would have been even more livid than I already was.
Do not book through Vacasa. Also, fun fact: if you message them, you will get a different person who answers you every time.
ALSO, if you do end up deciding to book here for whatever reason, do not drink the water from the water dispenser. Unless you like the taste of old carpet in your mouth :)
