Pictures definitely did justice for the place. If you are looking for a nice place to stay like a 5 star this is not it. We stayed for a fishing trip and it was perfect for that. The host was very friendly and accommodating.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
Not good, could not get on the internet. Had stove to cook but no pots to use. One sink in restroom and it would not drain. First Vbro we have been in and had so much problems. Very out dated and could not get any reply from management. Was an old and outdated motel. Was motel and mini storage business. Will not ever go there again or recommend it to anyone.
Just read the sign and see what your impression is!
Door was very hard to open and close.
Sink would not drain, only one in the room. Not even one in kitchen and no way to use kitch
Just an old outdated hotel and mini storage. Very old and not comfortable

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
I am VERY disappointed in VRBO for not checking this arrangement prior to advertising. I have used VRBO for years and have never been surprised with the room, home, or cabin; however, this was beyond terrible. The shower was so nasty we did not dare use it. There was no 'kitchen' sink. During the night it rained and water come into the room at the baseboards. The pictures on VRBO were only of the 2 beds, and I can understand why. They were made up with matching spreads, so in a picture they did not look too bad, but both my sister and I did not sleep on the lumpy, soft mattresses. Our backs were hurting when we finally left at 4:00 AM just to get away from the filth. I paid for 2 nights, but did not try to get the refund for only one night because the young guy who checked us in could not even locate our reservations. I was lucky to have it on my phone and printed to show him. NIGHTMARE and was a very disappointing birthday trip for my sister! In the future PLEASE research with at least more pictures inside and out to inform customers this place is totally nasty, unhealthy, and disgusting!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
I did have some concerns during my visit. Upon arrival, the room was a bit warm, but that was manageable. The main issue I faced was the cleanliness of the property. Unfortunately, I encountered several spots around the grounds where there was old dog waste, which my one dog stepped on and the other dog tried to eat it. I was very concerned about the health risks this posed to them. In addition, I noticed some dog kibble scattered in the grass pass, possibly from a previous dog's vomit(?), which again raised concerns for my pup, especially since he's on a very specific veterinary diet.What was most upsetting, however, was the message I received from the owner requesting that I pick up my dog's waste. While I understand the importance of maintaining a clean property, I was surprised and disappointed by the tone of the message. There are signs clearly indicating the use of video surveillance, so had the video been reviewed, it would have shown that I consistently cleaned up after my dogs. In fact, I was careful to dispose of all waste in the small garbage can near the front office.The tone of the message came across as rude and accusatory, which left me feeling frustrated and ultimately led me to leave earlier than planned so I would not stay here again.For future guests and to ensure that everyone can properly dispose of waste, I would recommend adding more trash cans throughout the property, as there was only one small metal bin near the front office.
