I loved the decor, the hot tub and the locations outside. It ended up being stressful though because apparently we missed the fact that if more than 2 people come, you have to pay an additional fee per person per night. We assumed if the place had 3 king beds, it slept at least 6\. Apparently not so don’t miss that detail. I guess they were watching us because I woke up Saturday morning to missed calls, voicemails, texts and emails saying if we didn’t pay for the extra people they were going to stop by, it was very stressful and unnerving and we wouldn’t have booked it if we had know how expensive it would be. I’m still trying to recover from the extra money I ended up having to spend in the middle of my “relaxing” girls weekend. I realize it was my fault for not reading the fine print but it really affected our stay. We also walked into the cabin to find a dying mouse on the floor and had to remove it ourselves. There were some wasps inside also. I also had a hard time getting the code for arrival because Vrbo would not load the message with the information. ##### Alyssa C.
