I regret to say that my recent stay was highly unpleasant due to the poor conditions of the accommodation. Initially, my wife and I were excited about our stay, but our enthusiasm quickly turned to disappointment upon entering the unit.
The first issue we encountered was an overwhelming smell of mold and mildew that permeated the entire space. As we investigated further, we discovered water leaking through the basement and foundation, leading us to conclude that moldy air was being circulated throughout the house by the AC blower unit. This poor air quality created a hazardous environment that was simply unacceptable.
Additionally, the cleanliness of the unit left much to be desired. We found significant issues, including:
• Mold in the Bathroom: The bathroom door was covered with spotted black mold, particularly around the edges and in the crevices of the door frame.
• Old Food on the Floor: We even found old, dried-up hot dogs on the floor, contributing to the overall sense of uncleanliness and neglect.
These issues made the unit mostly unlivable. Consequently, my wife and I spent most of our time outside on the deck. Unfortunately, the moldy air caused my wife to experience severe breathing issues, requiring frequent use of her inhaler, and I also struggled with breathing difficulties despite being in good health.
If not for the mold and mildew, the unit might have been a pleasant place to stay. The rest of the property appeared clean and well-maintained, indicating potent

Hi Anna, we take it seriously when guests let us know that their stay did not meet expectations, and we're sorry to hear about the issues you encountered during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to address the following:
- We strive to provide our guests with a great guest experience, so we were disappointed to hear your stay didn't meet your expectations.
- We were unaware of any issues or concerns during your stay and wish you had reached out. We would have promptly responded and been more than happy to address any concerns you may have had.
- We thoroughly clean the property after each guest's departure and again before the next guest's arrival to ensure cleanliness. We were unable to detect any mold or mildew odor during our inspections before and since your stay. No leaks were detected in the basement or foundation.
- Regarding the bathroom, the homeowner noted that the door is part of a barn door slider system with good ventilation. The markings on the door and in the clawfoot tub were not present prior to your stay and appeared to be caused during your visit. It's important to note that the markings you referenced appeared to be splashes of colored water.
- We live locally and encourage guests to reach out should they have any questions or concerns during their stay. We would have been happy to assist with any concerns you may have had.
We truly go above and beyond for our guests and are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!
This place was very clean and very true to the retro theme but with a dishwasher. I felt like I stopped over to stay with my mammy for the weekend. There are a couple things of note that would make this property 10/10. The first was the freestanding bathtub. Very steep stepping in and out with a shower curtain that just sticks to you while trying to shower. The second was the outdoor furniture, super cute but exactly practical or comfortable. That being said I can absolutely recommend this property as we frequently stay at VRBO properties and this was top notch clean and well equipped.
