Pre-booked my stay through VRBO on April 6, even went so far as messaging back and forth with the host the day I made the booking. The booking payment was split in 2, with one portion being paid on April 6, and the second potion due on May 2. The host requested full payment for the second portion on April 30, and I paid it the same day. So by April 30 the entire reservation for May 16-18 had been paid in FULL. Even messaged the host the day of arrival, confirming check in instructions, was provided lockbox information and a cabin number. Fast forward to 30 minutes before our GPS says we should arrive, 4.5 hours into our drive, the host messaged me cancelling on the May 24 long weekend, while when we are less then half an hour away. The host initially tells me to reach out to VRBO and maybe they can help, but the refund won't even be processed for 15 days. The business owner tried to pass us off to a 'comparable accomodation'. We paid for 3 days in a lakeside private cabin, the comparable accomodation? His friends motel that looked straight out of a horror movie. In the end, the closest accomodation was 1.5 hours in the opposite direction at a Quality Inn that overlooked the highway that we were only able to book in through the assistance of a VRBO support manager that was amazing.TLDR: sure, book here if you want the business owner to tell you when you're almost there that he intentionally double booked, oh and enjoy paying for your new accommodations while you wait for you
