Live bedbug crawling across the bed in the Oneida cabin. Many dead bedbugs under and on the couch. Mouse droppings on the bed.
So after driving 2 hours there, staying for 2 hours, and packing up, I had to drive another 2 hours at midnight back home and immediately strip and sanitize all of my clothes to avoid contaminating my entire house. If you've ever dealt with bedbugs in your home, you'd understand that it is an absolute nightmare.
I initially posted this review after immediately packing and leaving on the first of several pre-paid, pre-booked nights, purchased for over $1000. Then the owner was upset at my initial review and threatened to not give me a refund until I remove it. I waited until my refund was posted, and here I am again. Absolutely disgusting that such a major health hazard would be allowed to propogate, and not only that, but thrive, considering the abundance of refuse and corpses I found under the couch. The cabin allegedly hadn't been used for a month prior, if I recall correctly, which means it wasn't cleaned at all in that time.
This is beyond just the rough camping the owner likes to spout off about when people note the disgusting state of these cabins- bedbugs don't just hang out in the wilderness in New York State, nor anywhere on earth, for that matter. They're a parasite that needs repeated human contact to survive, and that's what this place offers, because the owners do not clean this filthy heap. I don't know if it's a matter of ignorance, or just a complete lack of care.
If you don't want to spend hundreds or thousands on bedbug remediation for your home after you stay here and bring the bedbugs back home with you, absolutely do not risk it. You would legitimately be better off sleeping in the woods in a sleeping bag. Not to mention that the owner will fight with you over getting your money back and threatened to withhold it because you dare speak up about it.
Don't stay here. And, to the owner, please relinquish management to somebody who knows what they're doing.
