We booked this property hoping for a relaxing getaway, but our stay was ruined by a severe tick infestation. Every time we stepped outside —even for a minute—we found ticks on ourselves and our dogs. In just two days, we removed over a dozen ticks despite trying to avoid them. This made it impossible to enjoy the deck or fire pit, which were major reasons we booked this rental.We reached out to the local contact multiple times (first about cleanliness issues with the dishwasher and sponge, and later about the ticks) and got no response at all. After leaving early, I went back and forth with the rental company over several emails, but they ultimately dismissed our concerns and offered no compensation—even though we paid for a night we couldn’t use.This property clearly needs professional treatment for ticks, and until that happens, future guests should be warned in the listing about the severity of the issue. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision and encourages the owners to address it properly.

Felicia, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- This home is located in the Ozark National Forest on an acre of wooded land near Table Rock Lake, so bugs and wildlife can be common in this rural environment.
- The property is treated regularly, and we’ll continue to explore additional preventative measures to help limit ticks around outdoor spaces.
- The dishwasher has been checked and is working properly, and we’ll replace any worn or unsanitary sponges between guests to keep the kitchen guest-ready.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your review.
Awesome cabin in the woods. Very clean and close to the lake. Would definitely stay again!
