Cabin had not been cleaned, smelled dank, AC didn't work, had dead bugs everywhere, cobwebs everywhere, and I got stung by a hornet nest located on the frontdoor light.
Host did minimally attempt to remedy situation but honestly this place should not be listed.

Hi Emilio, we take it seriously when guests let us know that we missed the mark, and after sending your feedback to the homeowner, they’d like to share the following:
- The hornet nest near the front door was an unfortunate result of being in a rural area, and our Guest Contact immediately addressed it once notified. These nests can appear quickly, especially after recent wildfires in the area, which disrupted local wildlife
- Regarding the A/C, Amanda checked the unit and confirmed that it was functioning properly. Given that outdoor temperatures were around 60 degrees or lower, the system wouldn’t have activated under those conditions
- The dead bugs you saw were likely due to a pre-arrival spray to prevent live insects. While we understand seeing them isn’t ideal, it’s part of pest control efforts in rural environments
- Amanda visited the property multiple times and wasn’t informed of any concerns related to cleanliness or odors. The property had been vacant for some time due to recent fires, which may have contributed to the smell
Thanks for your valuable feedback as we continue to improve for future guests!
