Our family had a great time staying at the Under the Trees property. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, there were plenty of board games to choose from, and the location was wonderful. The hot tub was clean, and the views were absolutely amazing.

I was not panning to provide feedback to VRBO, but I am planning to use this service again, so this is just an FYI.When my family and I arrived to the cabin on Aug 1st, the cabin was not clean. There were dirty dishes in the sink, beds were not made, and the cabin was dusty. We went to the nearest town to buy cleaning supplies, including a broom. We disinfected the bathrooms thoroughly with chlorox because we found a note from the previous visitors saying that "they found a dead mouse in the bathtub." The bathtub on the main floor was full of hair and the trash was not taken out. It was a mess. The WiFi password did not work, so we were with no communication during our stay in the cabin. Since the tv uses internet, we didn't have tv access either. To top it off, a couple and their young daughter showed up on Sunday the 3rd., claiming that they were the owner's friends and their reservation started on August 3. I explained to them that my reservation ended on August 4, 2025. They decided to call Vacasa and I was there, outside with them, while waiting for a resolution from Vacasa. My family finishes having dinner and I was still outside with this couple trying to resolve this issue. I believe I spent more than 30/40 minutes with this couple and Vacasa. Everything was very confusing to the point where I thought, maybe I made a mistake with the reservation and I was supposed to check out today, but at the end they said it was an error from the owner. It was stressful and confu

Frustration Under the Trees
Upon arrival I was flabbergasted by the difference of seeing the rental in person compared to online....and not in a good way. Listing on here nade it seem whimsical, in person it was anything but. Pictures seemed to be older, but better.

Just what we needed
This was a cozy, clean, well-stocked facility. The kitchen was really user friendly. I didn't see wood for the fireplace, but we didn't use it. I read a few reviews that said the hot tub didn't work (it did for us), or that it wasn't clean (it was for us.) The parking looks like it would be a challenge in the snow, but it just took a little time to make the hard turn onto the property. There was plenty of room. (One note -- my car had sap dripped on it in the morning. It came off easily with a car wash, but just be aware.)

Unfortunately disappointed
We chose this rental because of the hot tub. The hot tub did not work and when we finally figured out the way to heat it up, it didn’t get above 80 until the last day of our vacation. So we never got to use it.
The TV system did not work, and the upstairs where you sleep was freezing. We had to search for blankets and space heaters. The parking permit that was supposed to be on the fridge was not there. We made the best of it cuz we were on vacation but considering the price
we paid to have the hot tub i was bummed. It’sa cute house but we were bummed to have spent the amount we did and not get the things we were looking forward to.

Cute, private cabin
Cute, private cabin. Met most of our needs. There is plenty to do in the area and even if you stay there.
Positives: gas fire pit was awesome to sit around at night, fire wood was provided still. Great, relaxing living room. Kitchen does the job.
Negatives: there was no coffee pot, just espresso machine and French press. It did the job, just took awhile. Also, there were outlets that did not work in the bedrooms and we could not find the guest binder.
Overall, we enjoyed our weekend there.

Could have been perfect if bot for issues
Ok so this property was listed as having a hot tub, a wood fired stove, a BBQ, and an outdoor propane fire-pit. These are the reasons we booked it.
However, none of these things worked properly.
- the hot tub needs maintenance. It will not maintain an appropriate temperature. Though it does get hot when the lid is on it, it rapidly loses heat after getting in. The heater is in need of repair
- The BBQ would not get hot enough to cook a steak at all (no sear, nothing). This is even after I switched out the propane tank with a full one that was nearby. This grill looks pretty neglected and gross, it might be time to buy a new one.
- The small propane fire pit needs maintenance and would not stay lit.
- the wood stove in the living room has some kind of ventilation issue. When I started a fire *none* of the smoke went up the chimney and it poured out from cracks between the stove doors. I had to put the fire out and open all the windows.
I would like to note that I grew up with a wood stove, and have a propane grill, these issues are not because I don’t know how to use these appliances.
This list of issues were sent to the property manager when I was there but no action was taken
