There was a noticeable odor in the main room, but we were able to address it somewhat by purchasing Febreeze. The hot shower definitely deserving of a five-star rating. The creek was the highlight and primary reason we chose this location. To be honest, the odor in the room made me a bit uneasy, so we used our own bedding and found comfort in disinfecting a few areas. While popcorn kernels were provided, we were surprised to find that there was no oil or butter for flavoring. Additionally, the binder suggested placing dishes in a dishwasher, but there was not one. This was a bit perplexing. I feel that perhaps there should be two cleaning fees, one for guests who actually prepare & cook meals versus those who are using the space as a relaxing shelter. On a positive note, the bathroom was quite spacious. It and the attached closet were odor-free. The front porch light is motion-activated, which made it difficult to appreciate stars gazing - there is a back door but 90% of the space faces the french doors. You must remember the code for the main door, as it self-locks so you can become locked out. Falling asleep was unusual due to a smoke detector with a flashing light positioned just about overhead. Unfortunately, there were limited outlets available, which meant that we had to unplug other devices in order to use a CPAP machine. A couple of questions were not responded to by the host but I believe it had to do with them not being a direct VRBO customer. We won't return.
