Disappointed with Vacasa management
The main reason for my negative review is that I expected better from the folks that manage the property. I regrettably left a pair of earrings I'd received from my partner on our first anniversary on the bedside table at this cabin. I called Vacasa within hours of our departure to let them know. I tried calling the local office, but they kept rerouting me to the central call center, so I never got to talk to anybody nearby. After several days of calling, I finally got an update that they were "never found." I know I left them, I know exactly where I left them, and I know that the team had all of that information the day that I checked out. There's either been a mismanagement of the process or some unfortunate dishonesty, and either way it means I've lost an item that's sentimentally important to me. As for the property itself: it's well-located, but extremely hard to find if you're arriving at night. Be alert for that.

Suggestions
We enjoyed our stay but a few things were missing that would have made it better. There were no cloth dish towels or hand towels for the kitchen. There was a hair dryer even though I had called and been told there was not one in the unit. A floor lamp near the dining table would have been nice -- puzzles & games after dark were a challenge (we moved another lamp from behind the couch but someone reading a book there was out of luck. A recycling receptacle would be nice. Perhaps more hangers since there was no dresser to hold clothes. There was an issue with staining of white shirts that were washed -- didn't happen to all items--think maybe it was the hard water. These were just things we thought we would share.

Quiet getaway
This was the perfect place for me to have a solo winter retreat. Very cozy and quiet. Loved that I could walk to the lake, grocery store, and coffeeshop.
