  1/5

  No privacy - there were no curtains on bathroom windows seen several mice in home - oven and microwave did not get hot - appliances were inadequate - upon returning to home there was a suspicious man on property on more than one occasion. Because I did not feel safe with my teenage daughter, we left the premises and checked into a hotel. I was told the owner would contact me about these matters, but no one has followed up. Worst experience I’ve ever had with VRBO.

  Hi Ronald, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re deeply sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations, and we understand how unsettling these issues must have been. After discussing your feedback with the homeowner, they wanted to address the following points:
  
  -Privacy and Curtains: The homeowner has added shades and curtains to the windows that were mentioned, to ensure that all guests feel comfortable and have the privacy they need during their stay.
  -Mice: We sincerely apologize for the presence of mice. Being in a rural area, this can occasionally be a challenge. The homeowner is actively working with their pest control service to address this issue more thoroughly and prevent it from recurring.
  -Appliances: The microwave has been replaced and the oven has been repaired. The homeowner was unaware of these issues during your stay and regrets that they weren’t addressed sooner.
  -Suspicious Person: The homeowner believes the person you saw may have been a neighbor helping to care for their horses and property during their absence. They understand how this could be concerning, especially without prior notice. The homeowner will now include this information in the welcome package to prevent any future misunderstandings.
  -Communication: The homeowner was not informed that you were expecting a follow-up call and sincerely regrets the lack of communication. They would like to extend their apologies for not reaching out sooner and are available to discuss your experience further if you wish.
  
  We’re truly sorry that your stay was not as you had hoped, and we understand why you chose to leave the property early.

  This home is so cute. The bed and bathroom set ups were AWESOME for our family. We have 21 year old twins, and a 14 year old. So space and bathrooms are imported to us-I cannot say enough how awesome this set up worked out for us.

  I know the owners love beer when it’s not rented. But, there is SO much clutter and just stuff in the cabinets, it’s hard to find things. I opened the bottom cabinet to find a pan, and things were stacked so haphazardly that it all fell over. That’s not welcoming to me. The towels were stuffed, unfolded, in a basket in the bathroom. The cabinet clutter made it feel somewhat unclean and disorganized.

  We wanted to use the Traegar. To do so, we had to use a power strip that was inside, prop the door open, and plug the smoker into it. That was a pain-and definitely not ideal.

  Overall, it was great. But I’m not sure I’d stay there again

• Beautiful Setting

  5/5

  We enjoyed our stay here. Nice home in a beautiful, quiet setting. Close enough to everywhere we went, yet far enough from any hustle and bustle. Inside was well maintained, worked as it should, and spacious for our trip. Outside could use a little landscaping, but that was it. It was perfect for us and our trip. Thank you.

• Lack of Privacy

  3/5

  The home had a great layout but did not have privacy. The 22 acres were not private as people were on the property with their horses, kids, and dogs, which limited you to only use the small fenced-in yard if you went outside. Plus there was no curtains (even in bathroom) so you had no privacy when the people were enjoying the acres advertised at your expense.

  Hi Ryan, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  -We're glad to hear that you liked the layout of the home.
  -A friend of mine occasionally visits the property with her horse for short rides, usually for 1-2 hours on a Friday or Saturday. We apologize if this impacted your sense of privacy.
  -While I don't currently have curtains on the upper stories to maximize natural light, I understand how this could be concerning for some guests. I'm considering adding window treatments to enhance privacy.
  Thank you for your insight!
