Little River Canyon is great, this "cabin" is not. First, let's start with loose directions that got my parents lost for an hour. "Up to the end of the road and left" should describe a precise location and not a highway you can go left or right on for hours. Next, the grass wasn't cut (it was ankle to knee high) and it was full of chiggers. This obstacle was placed between my kids and their only fun outlet at the house, a tree swing. Internet wasn't working when we got there and the owners came out and fixed the next day. Yes, it's a cabin for outdoor adventure, but when you're planning what to do for the day with no cell service or internet it can be problematic. Finally, their "Rules and Regulations" which are not on the VRBO listing but are in print when you arrive. Some notable highlights are: No Alcohol (laughable); No coolers or liquids on "wood floors" (they're not wood, they're laminate and buckle with moisture); internet is metered and limited to 1gb per day "do not stream video;" "rental rate is based on normal power usage. Do not turn A/C below 70 ... [nor] heat above 75. You will be charged an abuse fee if you do." (insane to even state this); "trash costs us per pound, please be respectful and limit trash." There are more rules but I'm annoyed to type this nonsense. Also, the beds were terrible as you can feel each individual spring. Bottom line, it would appear these folks are operating on slim margins and passing that burden on to the people who travel out here to vacation. I've rented my own property, and it's frustrating to see someone think they can dictate your every move in a place you've rented for vacation. It literally put a damper on our whole trip, 4 adults and two kids, to not have a place to rest peacefully after a day hiking the canyon and on the river.
I hope they take this review as constructive criticism and not a personal attack. They were nice but I would not recommend this place to anyone until they resolve to do better and implement change.
