When we booked nothing was said about the cabin being a mother in law on the property where the owners live full time and you will be sharing the back yard and the doc. Upon arrival, the kids ran to the doc to see the lake, we were greeted by a swarm of angry wasps who built a nest in the bottom steps, both my husband and the dog got bit, my husbands ankle swell double the size. When we communicated the issue to the owners, we were told they can spray, but it will only make it worse and asked if we had to use the lake that day. The following day we were woken up at 8am by a construction crew ripping up the driveway with no blinds on the door, they had an intimate view of us waking up and having breakfast to their excavator and drilling noise. We finally decided to leave the property as we could not hear each other or the TV over the noise and the lack of privacy of course. When we came back, the driveway was taped off and for the rest of the stay we had to park up and away from the cabin. When we spoke to the owner, we were told they have something special planned and brought us a small gift card the next day.
Upon the check out we reached out to the owners and requested a refund of the day we could not enjoy/use the property and they refuse to respond.
I sincerely hope the description/pictures are accurately updated to reflect the fact that you are staying on the owners property separated only by a driveway and should any issue occur, it is resolved with the guest and their experience in mind.
