Last day in camp

Since we were very tired from the long exhausting cave tours, hiking and exploring, we decided to just stay in camp on our last day and just rest. Bad weather was moving into the area the next morning, so we had to quickly pack up, load up, and get on the road. We proceeded to our VRBO for the last night of our vacation. There was some confusion, mostly on my part probably. We arrived at the VRBO, and we could see two houses and several smaller buildings. Usually, VRBO’s are locked and the owner sends you an unlock code to get in. We saw one house that looked to have another car behind it, and thought this must be someone else’s home, and we went to the other house. It was unlocked and we went in. It was really nice! It had a place where we could do laundry, a large kitchen / dining area, large living room with fireplace, three bedrooms, and two baths.

Turns out, this was not ours for the night. After we had had shower / bath, and dinner, I was settling into bed and looking on my phone to see what we had to do tomorrow before we could leave, and noticed it kept telling me our property was to the right after entering the gate. But that is the small house with the other car parked in the back. I messaged the contact for the property and asked if we were in the correct house or not. We were in the wrong house. We got dressed and went outside to look for where we belonged. We found a small building in the back of the property that was also unlocked and looked inside. It had bunkbeds, which didn’t look right according to the pictures I was sent when I first rented. I messaged again, and was finally directed to the building with the car. It also was unlocked, with no inside. The furnishings matched, and was assured this was the correct place. We went back and gathered our belongings, made the bed and cleaned up any mess we had made, trying to leave the first house as close to how we found it as possible. We slept the night in the correct place, in the solitude of the country, with no other people around for miles, and left the next morning.
