  1/5

  This is what me and my family experienced during our stay. On the first night, we were disturbed by a banging sound against the master wall from the outside, which scared our children. We discovered that the source of the noise was the back gate, which had a broken latch and had failed attempted to secure it with a bungee cord. Additionally, the house had a strong smell of cigarette smoke, including in the bear box. Although the previous renters could have caused this, the scent never dissipated. The dryer hardly worked. We had to dry out small loads of laundry at least four times before resorting to using the fireplace. The sink in the main bath would not drain, and black particles would backwash from down the sink. Small things were broken in the home. The toaster dial knob was missing, and some of the lampshades were cracked and taped back together. The working t remote was missing. We also noticed missing pieces from some of the board games. Moreover, there were not enough bedding, towels, and spoons provided. Lastly, the dishwasher tabs were minimal, which was disappointing. When we book a Vrbo, we expect to have a home-like experience. Unfortunately, this felt more like a poor motel experience.

  4/5

  This house is in a quiet street and close to the center of the town and all the fun amenities like water sports and restaurants and hiking. It has plenty of space for 5 people and we did not feel crammed at all. The place had all that we needed in terms of pots , dishes, toiletries, etc. It has pleanty of blankets for chilly nights.

  There are two things I think can be improved and I feel like it is implrtant to improve (from my point of view).

  1. Very uncomfortable matrasses through out the beds. Very soft and bouncy when you move.

  2. Dryer does not work properly. It takes 5 drying cycles to dry a normal load of cloths. Maybe it is as simple as lint needs to be cleaned and removed by a professional, not sure. Also, washing machine's locking mechansm needs attention as it does not lock properly and takes time to start working. I think these are inportant details and why people like me choose to rent houses and not hotels. I hike and do woter sports a lot and we move from rental to rental and washing and dryer machines are important to us.

  Other than this, the house is very nice and we had a nice stay. the managing agent was very very quick to reply to my texts/questions, so thank you for that.

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner: "Thank you for your thoughtful review. We had the dryer cleaned a while ago and you are right, it might be time to do it again. The mattresses are less than 5 years old and I am sorry it did not meet your expectation. I'm happy you found the rest of the place comfortable."
