The Boxcar Tiny House

Great cabin, location, peaceful and relaxing??? I will 100% be booking here to stay again.

After reading the previous review I was a little worried, but decided to give them a shot. The Boxcar Tiny Home was perfect for my needs. I spent the day at a lake and then hiked Bob Bear Trail. I needed a place to crash a few nights, shower, and keep my beer cold. There were some ants inside the house but you could see that the owners were working on trying to get rid of the ant hole outside the front door… plus I don’t mind ants as much as I do some other insects I’ve seen at other houses. :-)

The host was very responsive and super understanding and kind! The place was clean and beautiful! Stayed for my birthday weekend to get away from the big city, missing it already! Will be back for sure!

Jeremy was professional and responsive. The place was clean and just an overall great place to stay! Conveniently located to restaurants and hiking trails.

I was very excited to stay here, the concept was very appealing. However, the reality was extremely disappointing. Upon arriving the outdoor space was messy with dirt dust and debris, if we had wanted to use the space it would require some serious cleaning. The indoor space was worse, old smelly stained furniture, dilapidated kitchen cabinets, an oven/range so dirty you would never attempt to cook on it or in it. The refrigerator was in need of a wipe down, utensils that had seen better days in a dirty drawer. The bathroom had no towells to utilize 1 roll of toilet paper on the roll no additional supplies the black plastic shower curtain had holes and scum on it. The bedroom was the final straw for me, I checked the bedding as I always do, when I pulled back the covers there was a bobby pin and hair and the sheets were wrinkled as if someone had just slept in it. I was very upset, I contacted the host immediately. The response, they would check to see if the cleaners had forgotten about the property. The check in time was 4 pm, we are tired, hungry and waiting to see if cleaners had done their job. After a few minutes I called again to explain there was no way we could wait around, it was getting late and we needed to find a clean place to stay, it was after 5pm. I requested a refund which I received but it did not inclued taxes and fees so I am out roughly 70.00 which I am not happy about and have concluded VRBO is not the trusted source I thought it was.
