Reviewer Comments:
Burned out bulbs in the lights, broken clocks, sound system unusable, tv didn't work sometimes, screen porch door is missing so it's useless, large stains on the bedroom carpets, stains on rugs, dead bugs in bedrooms all over, view on two porches not the same as shown, patios are completely overrun with webbing, pests, leaves, debris, rotten wood, etc. The wicker furniture is a spider nest! The porches are unusable! Nothing looks like it has been cleaned in 10-15 years. If we rented a rustic cabin, our expectations would be different, but this is marketed as a luxury cabin. There is stickiness, grime, and dust or dirt on every surface. To add insult to injury, when we arrived garbage was on the porch and in the driveway, including a used toilet seat, a box, plastic, and other garbage, the dishwasher had filthy unwashed dishes in it, and the couches and floor had food crumbs and white goo everywhere so we had to clean the cabin ourselves when we arrived! And yet Elksprings charges a hefty cleaning fee! The cabin is decorated (with filthy decorations) for fall but they also left up some dirty Christmas decorations too! It just shows the lack of care. The batteries don't work in remotes, a lot of the furniture is not what was pictured, and there are giant spider webs in the corners of the living room and bedrooms. Under all the beds it's a disgusting mess that has literally not been vacuumed since who knows when! For example, the master bed and next to nightstands there were bugs, thick layers of dust, and debris. The basement bedrooms were in similar condition. The rugs had large gross stains on them.
