Great place to stay!

Loved the cabin, great for a big group. River access is a bit of a challenge due to the terrain.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy

Great location, but innacurate amenities.

The location was very remote (which I loved!), the cabin was beautiful, and incredibly clean. However, the amenities were not accurate. I booked this place for my bachelor party, which included a LAN party. One of the games we planned on playing required internet. However, tue "internet" is a mobile router that carried internet through cell signal. The issue was that with how remote the location is, there was no cell signal. Which means there is no internet. This made me unable to do a core part of my bachelor party, and meant my friends were not able to comolete their remote work that needed done. I paid for Wi-Fi access, and was sorely dissapointed with the lack of it. Otherwise, it's a beautiful location.

Beautiful location, but incorrect amenities.

The location was very remote (which I loved!), the cabin is beautiful, and it was incredibly clean and spacious. Unfortunately, the amenities are not correct. I booked this trip for my bachelor party, part of which included a LAN party. The game we scheduled required internet, which the listing shows it does. However, there was no internet. There was instead a mobile router that utilized cell signal to share internet. Because of how remote the location is, there was no cell service, which means there was no internet. It unfortunately greatly impacted my stay, both for the LAN party and my guests who needed to get work done remotely and we're unable to do so. If I were planning a trip that didnt require internet, I would have a much higher outlook on this stay. But because I paid for amenities that did not exist, I left with a sour taste. I couldn't even contact Vacasa about the issue because of the lack of cell service.
