This is not for everyone, but it’s a great place if you know what you are getting into.
Space: Very roomy and clean - the living areas are larger than depicted in pics. Beds were comfortable and we were not missing anything. Design wise it is very dated and everything in there seems random - dishes that don’t go together, old furniture (one dining chair was broken). It reminder me if the stuff in a garage sale. Beautiful view of the trees and secluded. Zero ATT cell service inside, but wifi was stable.
Property - it’s a house that has different units /entrances. There is another Airbnb across the laundry room and something else going on upstairs (you can hear every footstep, but that didn’t bother us). We drove a Prius and handled the roads fine. The last 2 minutes of the 10 minute drive up the mountain is intense - doable, but if it was wet, I am not sure I would have felt comfortable in that car.
Location - we loved being “away” from the main areas, while still a 15 min drive to downtown. For us, it was a great mix of the mountain experience we wanted, while still conveniently located. We saw a bear mom and cubs twice in the day time (we were in car driving).
Communication - this is the main reason for star deduction. I asked twice about earlier check in with zero response. I got a message the night before saying no. The no itself was ok, but it would have been helpful and courteous to get a response before 3 weeks. I also asked about Hulu sign in (included but it was not signed in) and if we could run a quick errand and leave dogs for a bit, and I got zero response to that. Again saying no is ok, but a host should provide timely responses. I did get a reply to a question regarding the heat.
