We won't be going back for one reason: You are no longer allowed to have a real fire in the fireplace. You can only have one of those manufactured logs burning. My wife and I are in our late 50s. We go the mountains and rent a cabin each winter to do our yearly planning retreat. We have three fireplaces at home and know how to build a fire without causing damage. The cozy fire is the centerpiece of our planning meetings. In the hot summer months, it would not be an issue, but having a fire while in a mountain cabin during the winter is a must-have amenity for us. As long as the competing rental cabins allow it, we will have to go elsewhere.

Never EVER book your vacation with this company! I tried to leave a review--THEY sent me after our…read morerecent stay at the Blacker House, Manistee, Michigan, but they deleted the entire thing! They only left my title and one star. This company is a total scam. They have photos of the property that only resemble the property itself. Let me explain that we had a family reunion in Manistee on the 4th of July, and had booked it we THOUGHT through VRBO, almost a year in advance 2025 for 8.5K however once I received the email, I merely followed the link. Also note, Manistee gets booked solid annually every year since the early 1930's so when we arrived and saw the condition of the place we had ZERO options to stay elsewhere. We had a family reunion. We had to try and make the best of it. On VERBO photos show VACASA as the managing partner with pristine manicured lawn and garden all around the property. They had a strict no smoking rule on the entire property as well as strict no partying rule. The photos showed staged beds-all with beautiful quilts and pillows. The large dining table with a lovely table cloth. When we arrived the lawn was ankle deep and the garden overgrown to the extent it looked like a haunted house. The garbage close to the entrance in multiple garbage pails were over flowing and flies were infesting and just everywhere as we walked up to the entry. We unlocked the door, there were two entry doors, one knob came off. The floor and stairs were filthy. There was actual dried poop in the only downstairs toilet with various implants stuck in it. The dining table was broken, no tablecloth. The bathrooms staged, not cleaned. When I picked up the silicone hair trap in one tub the sludgy hair mass that hung from it was gag producing. Two beds had nothing but sheets. Nothing else. Curtains were grimy, filthy and on bent temporary rods. When we attempted to call for help--good luck. You do not reach anyone local who owns the property or who cares for the property. You just reach their customer service that gives platitudes and do nothing. When I asked for only a partial refund they gave me --get this $250 cleaning fund back. YEAH THANKS! It was NEVER CLEANED, of course they had to give me my cleaning fund back! They flatly refused any other credit for compensation for FIXING THEIR TOILET FULL OF FECES OURSELVES! Or for CLEANING THE HOUSE OURSELVES! Or for not being able to use the yard to play all the games we brought because it was so overgrown! What we saw in the ad, what we paid for was NOTHING like what we got! BEWARE OF THESE SCAM ARTISTS!

For some time my husband and I had been looking to buy a second/vacation home. We specifically…read morewanted a log home/cabin in a somewhat secluded area with a little bit of land, of course the more land the better but we also had a specific budget with which we were willing to work with. We wanted something back east and had been looking as far north as Michigan to Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and the Virginias. We had some close calls but ultimately no cigar as they would say. We also had a horrible experience with the agent from Michigan, who was a total jerk (but that's a different review). We were loosing hope and beginning to give up on our dream when my husband happened to come across Kristy's real estate webpage. We reviewed a few listing and after some discussion decided to give it one last shot. I emailed Kristy about one particular listing and was rather pleased when she responded to my email inquiry the following day (which in all reality was just a few hours later, since I emailed her the night before). Shortly thereafter the bidding war began. Unfortunately that first listing didn't work out but our faith in the process had been renewed thanks to Kristy. I then told her about the 2nd listing and she got work. This time the stars must have been aligned because our bid was accepted. Throughout the entire process Kristy was beyond AMAZING!! She was very quick to respond to my emails, kept me updated, answered all my questions and even sent videos of the property. I cannot thank her enough for her professionalism, fast and exceptional service. Being at the end of our rope we could not have asked for a better person to have come across to aid us with our purchase. Thanks to Kristy we know how a wonderful new vacation home!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kristy. If you are serious about purchasing a home (or 2nd home) and you want an easy and hassle free experience then Kristy is the agent to go with!!!! She worked hard for me and I know she will work hard for you!
