  The house was very spacious, with plenty of bedrooms and large living areas perfect for our big group. Sadly, the condition of the home was a major letdown and there are serious issues that need to be addressed before renting it again.The owner was still there when we arrived, left a beer bottle on the porch, and dirty dishes in the sink. The house was filthy—crusted sheets, dead bugs, dust everywhere, and dirty kitchen items we had to rewash. There was only enough silverware for 6 people, no washcloths, hand towels, or extra bedding despite it being advertised for 20 guests.The biggest problem was the overwhelming smell from a nearby Tyson chicken farm. We are used to country living, but the constant stench made it impossible to enjoy the outdoor spaces—one of the main reasons we booked this house. This should absolutely be disclosed in the listing.Other problems included:•Broken king bed, non-working TV, broken tiles, unusable shower door, missing stove handle•Exposed 220v wires near hot tub and game room—major safety hazard•Chewed gum on walls, a used vape, old opened food in pantry•Queen beds were actually doublesThis home has potential but needs serious cleaning, maintenance, and full transparency about the chicken farm before being rented out again.

  Overall my group had a decent time! There is plenty of space in the house, and plenty of parking. The house is as pictured in the listing! The home is located right next to a chicken farm, so it smells really bad outside. Due to the smell we couldn't utilize any of the outdoor amenities, which was a bummer.The hot tub had some wires hanging out of it, and looked unclean so even if there wasn't a smell outside we didn't want to risk harm to use it. The house itself was pretty clean overall! It took a while to cool, but once it was cool it maintained a comfortable temperature. We found a sock and a cellphone made into one of the beds, but other than that it was clean upon our arrival. The location of the house was a bit difficult to find, but not too bad if you can read a map! It is located deep in the woods, which limits cell phone service and wifi connectivity (to be expected with a more remote location). The home has a large dvd collection so when the wifi wasn't working we could watch movies!There was a bit of confusion with the check-in time as the time the host communicated with us wasnt what was listed on the vrbo app. Communication with the hosts was through email and phone, and was clear for the most part, except the check-in time confusion. Overall, my group had a decent time and the home provided enough space for us to gather!

  The pictures online were misleading. The WIFI is not good. The AC in the great room and loft did not work properly. Thankfully the AC in the kitchen and bedrooms worked well. I am not sure if I was communicating with the owner or the property manager. Communication on the day we checked in was good. However, when I asked them to come out and check the air conditioning they stopped responding to any of my requests. The property is not maintained well and needs a thorough cleaning. The kitchens were unorganized. You cannot hangout on the porch/deck because it is next to a chicken farm. The smell outside is horrible. They have air fresheners all around the house. I do not recommend staying in this cabin.
