The house was very clean and stocked up nicely.. the only complaint I have is how cold it got in the downstairs part of the house, this is where all the bedrooms are and also the cleaning tip .. we did leave a tip for the cleaning crew however I believe it’s unprofessional to ask for it especially when you are already paying a significant cleaning fee from the time you book .. we cleaned the house up spotless before we left so the cleaners got a nice tip for minimal to no work at all .. I believe that the tip should be at the discretion of the renter.. also I think the owners should invest in paving the driveway, if we didn’t have a 4 wheel drive there would have been no way we would have made it up there..other than that the place is recommended

Ok, this was by far the worst stocked rental I've ever had. I had to buy hand soap, laundry detergent, and everything for the shower. I've never had to worry about all of those essentials before when renting a house. Also, there weren't enough washcloths or pillowcases. I slept my whole stay on a ruffled decorative pillow sham which left me with lines on my face every morning. To top it off the dishwasher was broken and the driveway to enter would have been impossible without an SUV (uneven vertical gravel pathway). Overall, it was clean and it worked but we've stayed much better places that were more comfortable.

Propert size was good. No AC. No cable. Poor mattress at best, uncomfortable to sleep in. Driveway not drivable unpaved and very long up steep hill to walk because had to park SUV at bottom of hill and carry all luggage to unit. Highest cleaning and host few ever paid and unit contact request we leave tip for cleaning crew. Unbelievable. I have stayed at vrbo rentals for about 10 years. I don't know how this rental qualified. I will not recommend and would not rent again.
