• Summer getaway disappoints!!

  2/5

  Unfortunately, the place was in need of considerable TLC. The outside area was messy and not clean. (e.g. gutters were full of needles, plastic flowers were neglected, grill was very dirty, and front screen needed fixing to stay locked and closed, shed was a mess). Inside needed a thorough cleaning. Bedding sheets were old, the loft was cluttered and neglected. Very few washcloths and towels for our stay. Hot water for shower was limited and a bit of a mystery on how to get hot.There was AC even though listing indicated otherwise. A pleasant surprise.TV has recordings set by someone which interrupted our TV viewing. All in all, we recommend the owner pay a visit and get the place up to VRBO standards. We will not be returning and cut our stay short of the reservation period.

  From the owner: Hi Daniel, we are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with our home. We allowed you a three-hour early check-in and the cleaners went out of their way to make sure everything was 100% guest-ready.
  
  - Regarding your comment about the outside area being messy, we are in the middle of nature and can't help things like bugs, and leaves, these things should be expected.
  - In regards to the gutters - we appreciate you alerting us, but we do not feel this would have impacted the quality of your stay. We maintain the property very well and this will be addressed in time.
  - In general, the owner would love to check on the property more often but is a full-time caretaker for someone with medical issues and has several other commitments that prevent him from being able to do so.
  - We pay cleaners to ensure that the home is as advertised and that it has been cleaned and sanitized between each booking. We will look into the towels and sheets.
  - Regarding the grill, the small cleaning fee that guests pay covers the cleaners to clean inside but we ask each guest to ensure that they clean the grill after each use. It's unfortunate that this was not done by the last guest and we're sorry it impacted your stay.
  - TV viewing/recording issue we were not aware that a guest had set any recordings and we feel that this was unfair to bring up as we have no control over what a previous guest does. We provide our guests with access to cable TV. A quick solution would have been to just cancel the recording.
  - In regards to the loft, we do not feel the space is neglected it provides a place for people to work if needed as well as a space to sleep.
  
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

• Great cabin!

  5/5

  Great little cabin in a great little neighborhood. Peaceful and friendly. Indoors was clean and tidy. Everything we needed. Well stocked with the essentials. We enjoyed the patio the most. The outside space could use some cleaning and tender loving care.

• Cozy, refreshing cabin to unplug! Good location

  5/5

  We had some much fun relaxing and unwinding at the cabin. The lack of WiFi was actually a nice change of pace. The pine trees give a lot of nice shade and it was so refreshing to be in a cooler spot as it’s already heating up in Phoenix! The neighborhood is very safe and beautiful and good for some walks and bike rides. Everyone out was friendly. The directions are clear but make sure you save check in and contact info before you leave in case you lose signal. The host is very kind and helpful and the cabin has all the stuff you need for doing a bit of cooking and a lot of relaxing. Thank you!

• Trip to Show Low

  1/5

  Cabin was way smaller than expected. There was not two bedrooms( unless there was 2 kids age 6 or less. No bathroom if upstairs were used and a very dangers spiral stairways down. Outside was filthy and unusable. A neighbor came over and couldn’t believe the porch. Also, there was a spider on the wall in the bedroom, so we left on Sunday morning and drove back to Phoenix. What a disaster.

  Hi Taron, we're sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay. The homeowner would like to clarify the following:
  - The cabin is a 613 sq. ft. park model with a loft, as clearly shown in the listing photos and description; we understand it may have felt smaller if you were expecting a full-sized house.
  - The loft space is designed for sleeping but does have a lower ceiling height, which is also common for this style of home and accurately depicted in the listing.
  - We’re sorry to hear the outdoor area didn’t meet your expectations. Being in a wooded setting, some debris like pine needles and cobwebs can naturally accumulate despite regular upkeep.
  - While we do our best to keep the home clean and pest-free, we’re sorry a spider made its way inside and that this contributed to your early departure.
  Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

• Cozy, cute spot to relax and unplug!

  5/5

  We really enjoyed our cabin experience - it is in a really beautiful little community with tons of trees and we could see lots of stars at night. The weather was so refreshing coming from Phoenix! The cabin has everything you need to relax and unplug and cook a little bit, if you’re wanting to. If not, there are several great restaurants nearby - we really enjoyed The House restaurant. I recommend screenshotting all the check in info before you leave to come to the cabin since my signal was very limited locally. The lack of WiFi was actually really refreshing to unplug and there is WiFi at the community clubhouse just up the street if you need it. We enjoyed some walks and bike rides and just took some time away from it all. The host is very helpful too!
