I hope this warning can help you avoid our nightmare
I booked Cory’s cabin for a weekend stay with my daughter and two dogs, expecting a relaxing getaway. Instead, it turned into a nightmare.After a three-hour drive for me and a two-hour drive for my daughter who traveled from college, we arrived at the property to find it already occupied. There were personal belonging inside and the doors were locked with no access. I frantically checked my confirmation email and the website, and checked my credit card app to ensure payment went through. I was terrified I made a mistake but all information was correct and I was charged. I had been messaging with Cory on Wednesday with questions I had so there was even dialogue between us beforehand.There is no cell reception at the cabin location, so we had to drive back to the interstate. Every call I made to Cory failed and my panicked messages sent through the VRBO app went unanswered. We spent the next hour on the side of the interstate with VRBO customer service. They were also unable to reach Cory and unable to find us another rental as he owns most of the properties in the area. I almost did not book the cabin due to other reviews warning he was hard to get ahold of. I wish I would have trusted that intuition.VRBO did refund our money but we were still two women alone and stranded in a remote location with no cell service and a host who completely ignored us. The whole experience was the worst possible outcome I can imagine outside of any of us being physically hurt.
