Great location but cabin is in need of some TLC

"Gretel" was our family basecamp for 8 nights while our teens attended a Ski Camp at Timberline/ Mount Hood, 15 min away. Great location! Property is managed by International Vacation Rental Company, Vacasa, whose agents are professional & friendly on the phone. However, they appear to have challenges getting maintenance & cleaning staff to this location as evidenced from condition of unit upon arrival, rectifying on site issues during our stay & hiring incentives posted in the Govy local paper. The cabin has great bones, and lovely thought out family-friendly decor. With some TLC - a deep clean, fridge & tap repairs, the cabin would be show ready. Note: There is no dishwasher. While this adds to the rustic feel of the cabin, dirty dishes, cutlery, pots, cupboards, etc. tarnish the overall impression of this location.

What a cute little cottage! Totally adorable! Perfect for a couple with young children who like to climb up to the loft. We had 5 TALL adults in our party, so maneuvering around was a bit tight. Kept bumping head in the basement bedroom. Raised toilet (on a platform) and shower made for really low ceiling in the bathroom. A bit ackward.

Great location, but not fully cleaned inside.

The stove and some dishes were still dirty. We found a used pan with spatula in the oven. Used water bottle up stairs, the upstairs door wouldn't fully close. Great & amazing location, love the snow covered area, didn't leave and axe for the wood they provided but that's nothing to bad. Stairs to the too floor could use a rail. Kids going up and down was a little sketchy. All in all, nice place. But could use some fixing here and there. I tried to contact the folks about the non cleanliness, but they haven't gotten back to me.
