• Not as advertised- Terrible property filled with health, safety, and security issues

  1/5

  This property is the worst short term rental we have ever stayed at. It is nothing like the pictures shown. I will list the negatives as we did not find any positives:

  - Rat feces in piles outside the patio deck

  - All toilets continuously run after being flushed

  - The entry stairs move and flex when walking up them (wood is fragile exposed and deteriorating)

  - Windows do not lock and close properly. Unsafe for children- fall hazard and security issue

  - Screen doors do not lock and close properly.

  - Light switches are installed incorrectly and are not uniform (up for on, down for off)

  - Property interior is heavily worn and damaged including marks on walls, poor patches on drywall that is unpainted.

  - Exposed nails sticking out of walls that will catch your clothes or skin.

  - The carpets, rugs and couches are heavily stained

  - There is a van parked in the driveway that blocks easy access to the stairs and prevents you from parking fully in the curved driveway

  - The driveway needs to be cleared (filled with tree debris)

  - There is trash spilled all over the driveway as an animal entered the trash bin.

  - The dryer has a sign on it saying "Warning this will cause a fire if used"

  - The door to the laundry was detached from the wall and left propped against the wall

  - We found dirty old socks on the floor-Primary Bedroom

  I have pictures of the above issues and more to report.

  VRBO please contact me to prevent further health, safety, and security issues for your customers.

• Beautiful home in an affluent neighborhood

  5/5

  I enjoyed my stay. I felt like I was able to capture the best of both worlds … luxury and nature. The house is very spacious not overly decorated with furniture. Although there was no AC it was very cool inside the temperature was 85° outside. I enjoyed visiting local stores and restaurants people are very friendly, there is a short drive to the lake and other trails.

• Despite the very nice cabin, and nice kitchen the overall cleanliness of the place was bad and put a damper on our trip for me.

  3/5

  From reading a previous review of this place, we packed our own cookware from pots to dishes, and utensils. Good thing we did, because it was poorly stocked, everything there was there was dirty, obviously unwashed from previous visitors. The carpets and large area rug in the main room were all dirty, very stained, and looked terrible. Layer of dust on several surfaces. The only comfortable seating was the couch, and dining room benches. All other seating in the cabin were either broken or very wobbly. Only one reading lamp in the entire place, and two of the bedrooms had no working outlets to charge phones, plug in heaters, etc. In general, other than having beds, the bedrooms were bare of furniture. There was a large desk in the master bedrm however, it was pushed to one corner and surface was dusty, the accompanying chair had a broken leg so that when we placed our coats or anything on it, it would topple over. Although the beds were all neatly made, the sheets and pillowcases were not fresh and I had a strong suspicion they were not changed from the last visitors (gross). Please note, this is only my suspicion, but a mother can tell these things. This place could be wonderful but needs to be maintained and cleaned thoroughly after each visitor.

• Great location and communications, poor amenities for food prep

  4/5

  This is a very nice house in a quiet location. Communications with property manager Brian were excellent. There were many, many rules for renters. The house is in need of numerous minor repairs. If you plan on cooking and eating in, the cookware is in really bad shape and there isn't enough dinnerware for more than 3 people.

• Contemporary

  5/5

  Enjoyed our 3 night stay. Beds were very comfortable which is always a concern when renting a house. Nice open floor plan allows family to relax and enjoy each others company.
