  We booked this pretty last minute after realizing the original house would not be big enough. I read some of the reviews, which were mixed and we took our chances. Had I read all, we would not have! Upon arrival, I was not impressed with the crazy over grown weeds and poorly cared for porch. Opening the front door led to an overwhelming musty smell (can still smell in my hair). The place was as pictured, but a whole lot dimmer. The stairs were extremely loud and an open hole. The beds were loud and all but 1-2, like a brick, pillows flat as can be. We had to buy our own dishwashing soap and sponges (no dishwasher) and luckily did come with paper towel and extra toilet paper bc all you got was what was left in the roll. We left some extras for next guests. Needless to say, unfortunately this is not a place we would recommend or come back to

  Manager's Response:

  The right vacation home is everything, and we’re sorry this one didn’t meet your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your review, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We have a landscaper who maintains the property weekly and recently trimmed the bushes, but we’ll follow up to ensure the porch and entry are always welcoming.
  - While we haven’t had past reports of a musty smell, we’ll have our cleaning team and maintenance check so the home feels fresh for every guest.
  - The house was built in 1920, so the creaking stairs are part of its character, but we’ll continue to monitor for safety and comfort.
  - Mattress and pillow comfort can be subjective, but we do refresh pillows and comforters regularly. The home is also always meant to be stocked with dish soap, sponges, a roll of paper towels, and one roll of toilet paper per bathroom to get guests started.
  We appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving, and we’re confident that future guests will enjoy excellent experiences here.

  The home was just as described. Wonderful area, close to where you want to go.

  5/5

  Family of six adults and three children spent an extended weekend at the Forestport Home. Found the house to be as advertised in the listing, clean and comfortable.
