The home was spacious and had a lot of historic character, and it fit our group. It has beautiful old details and a dramatic, spooky historic mansion feel, which we actually enjoyed. However, the stay had several avoidable issues.The listing was for an “entire home” with 4 bedrooms, sleeps 10, and 5 bathrooms. Additional bedrooms shown in listing photos were open and accessible at check-in. Shortly before check-in, the host sent a message saying those rooms were not included and that new cleaners had failed to close them off; we did not see the message until checkout. After the stay, the host sent a 471.62 payment request for a “6BR fee,” which Vrbo Support confirmed I was not obligated to pay. Off-limits areas should be locked, labeled, blocked off, or clearly excluded before arrival.The interior upkeep felt uneven, with capped exposed wiring, missing glass panes on built-ins, missing tiles, mismatched sconces, and replacement wood that did not match surrounding stained wood. The listed garden space was also very overgrown, with plants roughly person-height, and nearby closed-off areas looked like unfinished renovation/storage spaces.We also noticed rainwater entering the basement at checkout, which the host acknowledged may have been from a disconnected downspout.Communication was polite, but the property setup, maintenance concerns, and post-stay charge request created unnecessary stress.
