Rustic River Paradise Cabin

When we booked, our search was for a home on the water with a hot tub. This home seemed to check all our boxes. I read the reviews and some people had prior concerns about a non-functioning stove, sketchy oven and other various things that weren’t necessarily make or break things for us. We booked, and to be clear, at the time of our booking this was listed as a home with a hot tub as an amenity. When we arrived the hot tub was non-functioning at all. When I reached out to Vacasa they told me this was not an offered amenity. When I informed them that it was a listed amenity at the time of my booking with photos and all, they basically said “bummer” with no attempt to make things right. We could have easily chosen a far less expensive rental without a hot tub but we chose this rental for that relaxing amenity. There was no warning or notification ahead of time that this amenity was removed or unavailable. As previous posts stated, the oven is sketchy but works, the stove is wonky and only half of it works. The home isn’t in the best shape overall and the leather couch is shredded to bits. There is so much potential in this home but so little effort is put into it. We were super disappointed for the price we paid for a weekend away, no hot tub, and complete lack of care from vacasa when we reached out.

*HOT TUB BROKEN* Vacasa the company that manages this property, tried to SCAM me. I called beforehand asking if the hot tub was broken since I saw a new review saying it was, and the person on the phone said “there are no notes saying it is broken.” :( he knew exactly what he was doing. I asked what I should do if I get there and the hot tub is broken, he said call us not vrbo and we will get you a new place. I called, someone said they’d call the owner, I get a text from the owner saying he took the hot tub off the amenities list. I filtered my search by hot tub, this is the only reason we got a place - to have a hot tub after skiing. It sketched me out even more when my boyfriend looked at more reviews and some people said the same thing! Some say the hot tub was taken off, some say it was put back on. I have a suspicion the owner puts it on, then when someone rents it out or checks in, takes it off, and makes us seem crazy. I have gotten 30% back from an owner changing their listing on me - i will keep calling until i get someone who can see the history of the listing. And i will pursue this and get my money back. I didn’t want to ruin our last weekend together as a couple before i left for the week, on the phone for hours. I was put on hold by vrbo for 20+ min, someone finally said theyd call me back or email me, and never did. It’s like they’re in on it. Do not waste your time and mon

It's a wonderful cabin with an Amazing view! We utilized the BBQ as the stove is not working and is being replaced but this was stated in our agreement. Comfortable and hot water on demand seemed to be the amazing part as 4 of us showered without issue. Plenty of pots and pans, dishes, utensils. The only issues we had were a couple top blankets in loft had dog fur on them and unfortunately a mouse found its way into a few areas overnight. Mice are to be expected in cabins though. We still give this cabin/home 5 stars and would recommend a stay.

Don't be fooled by the hot tub in the main photo, I was informed the day of my stay that it hasn't worked for months. Vrbo and the host were incredibly unhelpful and it made the whole experience frustrating.

The views from this home were nothing short of amazing. We had perfect weather, WiFi worked great. If you were expecting luxury this isn’t for you. It’s obviously a vacation cabin but it serves its purpose. We had a great little 2 night get away. Read all the things (I didnt) no oven, no hot tub, bring a grill lighter (wasn’t one here). Just little nit picky things. I would Definitely come back.

The Jacuzzi didn’t work and the owner does not provide wood to make a fire

If you book this home, it’s only for the views nothing else. It didn’t have an AC unit and we were unable to sleep or lodge comfortably, the oven was outdated and had duct tape to help shut it close but didn’t heat up appropriately. The washer and dryer were not clean, they were filled with hair, I had to clean it out before putting clothes in there. The hot tub didn’t work the microwave partially worked and the queen sized bed had hair all over it. The floor was very dirty, covered in obvious dirt (it was visible). When it came to paper towels there was barely enough for a days worth. Even though we were there for several days. Called Vacasa and they were useless and rude about my concerns. Honestly I wouldn’t come back to this house.

This place was perfect for a weekend getaway! Super cozy place where you are able to enjoy the wood burning fireplace and the sound of the river right outside your door. Perfect space for us and our pup. Could use a little extra cleaning in the kitchen and bathrooms. Otherwise great place!

I came for a respit by the river in the mountains. That's exactly what I found. The cabin has been well loved over the years and has a comfy, worn coziness. The interior woodwork is warm and woodsy. The view from the windows is nothing short of spectacular. No hottub or oven as of 4/2024, so plan accordingly.

Great property but hot tub doesn't work, no ac, oven doesn't work and power went out. Received small refund for huge inconvenience. Good luck!

The cabin itself beautiful, after delayed cleaning on the top of the sealing still were some webs and dust, for aleagic people recomend being catios. Entry door had some stains from cleaning products. Unfortunately coffee maker needed more clening, for coffee lovers was little dessapointment. Grill needed some cleaning before i could use it, I hope it was one time fluke. I recoment to owners replace games and cards jenga missing half of pieces and playingcard as well missing several cards. Overall surroundings are beautifull, Hikes to the mountais views amazing. For firepits and fire stoves lovers recomend to bring own firewood.

This is a wonderful place to escape and enjoy riverfront relaxation. The cabin has a modest but functional kitchen, fun loft space with beds, clean bathrooms, and fun streaming options on the TV if you wish to look at a screen. The best part of this place is being on the river with access to trails and outdoor activities. It was sad to see the devastation of the rock creek fire across Hwy2, but selfishly and fortunately the cabin doesn't face the burnt mountain. It's a good reality check -- cherish the woods.

I could not have been more disappointed with the reality of this cabin versus the (obviously highly photoshopped) listing. It was dirty, there were white stains all over various walls, the windows were dirty, and everything was broken and missing. The hot tub was broken, the garbage disposal was broken, the TV was broken, the cabinet the TV was in was broken, even the master bedroom door was broken. The leather like couch was busted open with tears and open stuffing... There was a gross laminated but moldy sign about the garbage disposal being broken, so it's obviously been that way for a while. While there, my dog found a mostly empty can of crusty pet food under the table that had clearly been there for a long time, and everything was out of stock: spices, laundry detergent, etc. I reported this all, got terrible customer service, and got a very pitiful refund of a small portion of cost of staying there. For the amount paid, we could have been at a high-end hotel, but instead we were sitting in someone's dirty, ramshackle, falling-apart cabin and being treated poorly by the management team. I will NEVER rent a Vacasa property again.

This location is absolutely beautiful. The property has been well maintained over the years, inside and out. The bathroom surfaces were smooth, so they were easy to keep clean.. no grout to catch germs and water. Shower was clean and water pressure was good. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and utensils for our usage, but we didn't really cook that much. Coffee maker worked and was clean. The towels and linens had a bit of a dog smell to them, but it wasn't more than what could be expected from a dog friendly cabin in the woods. If thats a thing that would bother you, it's absolutely worth packing extra linens and towels from home. The cabin was comfortable and cleaner than we expected. The location was easy to get to and seemed more secluded than it was. There were people in the neighboring cabin, but the trees and the river sounds provided enough privacy. I can't say enough good things about how beautiful this location is. It was an absolutely perfect getaway for my mom and me. Oh and we saw a bear! But we had been forewarned by the kind cleaning professional (who did an excellent job btw), so we were on alert. If you want to get away from the city and from the hustle and bustle and escape to the woods and the river for some tranquility, this little rustic place is fantastic.

The house is situated on the river bank. The day when we moved in, we witnessed torrents running swiftly in the river and it was impressively beautiful. When staying at the upstair loft, it was another astonishing scene of overlooking the water running outside. It has been raining everyday during our five days stay, and it was quite a pitty that we could not go on hiking as what we have planned to do but couldn't due to the weather conditions. The house was clean, despite a very old and leather-torn sofa in the living area and a couple of broken lights. There are lots of hiking trails and parks in the area. If with good weather, it is absolutely worthwhile to spend time in the area.

My pup and I adored this cabin! It's a great price, great location tucked away in Baring right along the river. Close to Stevens for skiing! It was amazing to have the sliding doors open during the day to listen to the river and not worry about privacy. The floor to ceiling windows are stunning! This is an older cabin with charm that I loved; well maintained and well stocked (full kitchen, bathrooms, firewood, games). Wifi worked perfectly -- I was working remotely and had several video meetings without issue, and easily hooked up my computer to the tv to stream March Madness. I was bummed that the hot tub was not available during my stay but these things happen. Without needing to ask, the Vacasa team recognized the error and proactively refunded the fee I paid for that amenity, and have removed it from the listing until fixed. The customer service was great and consistent. I received a text within 30min of check in to make sure I was settling in alright and that the cabin was clean. I never waited more than 5min for a response from the customer service team and the property manager. I definitely recommend this spot and I'm excited to get back to this little slice of heaven!

The floor to ceiling windows. Beds were comfy. Nice layout.

This was exactly what we needed. The main bed is not that comfortable unfortunately. I understand why the locals get frustrated as people constantly walk through the back looking for river access. Other than that it was perfect.

This place is all about location, privacy, and mostly the wall of windows giving you a spectacular view!

with the sunshine, the views of the mountains and the river were wonderful, and that is what we were coming for! two large sliders had failed, so would be great to replace someday for the views. we covered the poor couch, for it was peeling and rough. need new fry pans or bring one with us next time. she's rustic but has great character!

It is hard to beat the location both in proximity to mountains and right on the river. Very tranquil setting. The property is good enough, comfortable, but badly in need of some modern updates.

Wow!!! This place is beautiful. The views are amazing and the inside of the house is so cozy and welcoming. We loved staying here and hope to come back soon!

The location was delightful next to the river and the woods smelled so fresh. Had to figure out how to use the coded door, but finally figured it out. Nice to have a fire, it was cozy and relaxing. Loft was roomy. Some Teflon cookware needs to be replaced, appreciated the stainless steel pans. Hope to be back!!

Thought there were outside chairs and fire pit. Pics look like you can go down to the river, did not find out you couldnt until we reserved the place.

The views were amazing! Great time and lovely location. Charming little cabin you can cozy up in

You can't beat the window views out of this cabin! It was the perfect 2 night getaway for us to spend on the river with our family.
