Blue Maple reviews in Great Cacapon, West Virginia

“Nice place, quiet and private. Clothes dryer didn't dry properly, but was just a small problem.”

“The view was beautiful, would be even better if some of the trees were trimmed back. Cabin was older and had a dated feel, but it had everything we needed for the week. It’s definitely remote, with some steep roads, so frequent trips into town aren’t ideal. One recommendation would be screens for the doors so we could have enjoyed the breeze without letting bugs in. Be mindful of the uneven rocks along the driveway and walkway, just part of being tucked away at the top of a ridge. Brought extra essentials from home but there was towels, soap and shampoo provided. Also brought bottled water as the posting suggested as the water did have a yellow/light brown appearance. The host was very responsive and helpful. We were lucky to have great weather to enjoy the spacious deck, beautiful morning views, and hot tub each evening.”

“Honestly didn't read the other reviews until 3 days before my trip. So since I did and looked at the dates on each, I assumed the host had plenty of time to make corrections from the comments. Yes its considered a cabin and its in the woods so critters are possible. Though I did not expect to see a hole in a bedroom wall, and honestly I don't feel its my duty to take the garbage out to the curb. Then as you read the house manual,its outdated because whats written is either not there or has changed. The firepit was completely full of ashes, where are you to empty them to. Found trash(aluminum cans) in the firepit and several other items spread out below the cabin. Cleanliness and upkeep are most important to me when renting. Hope improvements are coming so others can enjoy their time there.”

“Bob and I were very disappointed by the condition and cleanliness of the cabin compared with the listing. We found stained upholstered furniture, a heavily stained bed pillow, marked and dirty surfaces, and other areas that did not appear adequately cleaned or maintained. We seriously considered leaving, but since our accommodations were already paid for, we stayed and tried to make the best of our vacation. The condition affected our use of the cabin. Bob was uncomfortable using the shower, and we did not feel the hot tub was clean enough to use. The listing also states “Stocked With: Coffee & Filters,” yet approximately one scoop of coffee was provided. We have photos documenting these issues. We understand this is an older, rustic cabin and did not expect perfection. We did expect cleanliness, usable advertised amenities, and a condition reasonably reflecting the listing. Given the impact on our stay, we are requesting an appropriate partial refund.”

“from the info that’s provided by the host, this cabin could be a really great vacation spot. the cabin itself is nice and the hot tub and fire pit make for some really fun evenings, however it’s very clear the host lives in another state, and whoever is providing upkeep is not doing their job, and the rules are EXTENSIVE. they request that you take out all of the trash, and clean the dishes before you leave, while also still charging a cleaning fee for a cabin that’s frankly, not clean. there was dirt and dust everywhere, dozens of dead bugs inside that could’ve easily been swept up. many amenities that are mentioned are either fully broken, or are falling apart. windows and glass doors have blinds that are either, broken down and dirty, or are just missing them all together. the dryer is very loud, and doesn’t dry your clothes. the deck and area around the hot tub are dilapidated and there are loose boards everywhere. hopefully these things can be fixed for the next guest.”
