I don't usually leave reviews, especially bad ones, but I felt like I needed to warn people of this host. We were looking forward to spending my friend's 30th birthday at this cabin this past summer. With all the wild fires going on, I messaged the host one week prior and they stated the fires were no where close to the cabin.
We did our own research and there were fires nearby, but we couldn't tell how close so we continued our trip plans. Yosemite valley and the surrounding area was under dangerous air quality because the fire was 6 miles away.
We had no service. So we got to the cabin to use wifi and try to cancel the reservation. No response. When arriving the key lock box was open without key, front and back doors were open and the living areas were not cleaned. We did not feel safe. The house keeping staff lived next door and were very apologetic and stated they thought the area was too dangerous for guests to be staying at the cabin and didn't know we were coming. Since the host was not responding and it was getting late, we stayed one night.
The host refused to give a refund stating there was no fire nearby.
After weeks of corresponding with VRBO, they made her give us a one night refund due to the house not being ready and for a nearby natural disaster.
It was the worst experience with a rental company host I've ever had. The host was not understanding, would hang up the phone on me and not reply to messages when her guests were in an unsafe situation. She did not care, she only wanted the money.
Don't stay here.
