Reviews

• Walk in the woods to hunt Deer, coyotes and turkey

  5/5

  Needs portable vac to walk around and vac flies in the Fall months(when flies sneak in thru air gaps.

  Everything else worked out very well for the two of us (me: 81 yr old Dad & 53 yr old son - Retired US ARMY Colonel.

  Great place to use a home base. We went to Binghamton, NY and checked out all the viaducts. Beautiful location, and the fall colors were in full display.

  Pros

  - Outdoor deck furniture

  - View of lake

  - Firepit

  Cons

  - Spiders everywhere inside the house

  - Small wobbly refrigerator

  - No screen on the basement door, would have been helpful to have a breeze for the mildew smell

  - Blinds are hanging off of nails only and fell off multiple times

  - Mail floor shower does not get hot

  - Towels were dirty and there were only 6

  - No dish towels

  - Dining table chairs are dangerously wobbly, one specifically is uneven

  - Not child friendly

  - Black Mold covering the bottom outside door

  - Dock had rusty nails sticking up

  - Step exiting the bottom outdoor door was wobbly and we tripped multiple times.

  - Outdoor swing is broken and unsafe to use

  - Only a few burners on the grill worked

  - no furniture to sit on while on main floor other than the table and stools so we didn’t have a place to play with the kids. We didn’t let them play in the basement due to the moldy smell.

• Neglect and Disrepair

  2/5

  Upon arriving to this property our first observation was the strong moldy smell wafting from the basement.

  There were tons of areas in the house that seem to have been neglected for several years:

  A broken screen door tossed on the porch near old moldy cushions, etc...

  A broken screen attached to the door with holes spattered throughout.

  Evidence of leaks in a few areas of the ceiling.

  Mold Growing in the corner of the basement by the couch.

  Broken hooks, toilet paper holders etc and ill-suited ceiling repairs.

  Dead bug bodies smashed against dirty walls that have not been painted in quite some time.

  A falling apart access panel above your head in the downstairs shower.

  Broken, back heavy dining chair that kept falling over (loose legs).

  Broken swing, rotting away as you sit on it and mold all over the back door and other neglected items rotting away.

  Loose stones all over the falling apart retaining wall. (tripping hazard)

  Broken dock tossed in off to the side of the yard and other debris.

  The full list of items that were in disrepair or needing attention is too long to mention.

  In the places where things had been repaired, shoddy work was evident.

  Overall, the disrepair and mold smell left us with an unpleasant experience.

  My husband, an experienced contractor and handyman, took dozens of pictures of the places where this property needs some real TLC.

  note, it asks for a rating for "communication with property manager" but there was no communication.
