Don't be fooled by the previous reviews as I was!

First Red Flag - Owners do not allow you to book through VRBO which is your protection against an unfit property. Upon arrival it is obvious you are dealing with absentee owners. The door keeper (not property manager as lease is with owner) opens door for you and the home smelled and was very hot. I asked him to turn on the AC to which he replied it is on. The home was dirty and had a horrible, unbearable odor like Mildew, mold or pesticide. The carpet was filthy and there were cob webs, dead bugs and bath tub and door tracks were filled with dead ants. I''m not talking a few here, but literally hundreds. There were layers of dust under recliners, furnace area and around washer/ dryer. The grill in back yard is not usable as the steps to get there are covered in cobwebs and spiders. On the other side to the back are overgrown bushes. The hall light is out so you can't see when going to bathroom or bedroom. Owner advertises a community pool and hot tub, but these have been closed for a year and no schedule for repair. I contacted owner immediately about AC and she said she'd send someone out (which she never did). I sent her pictures of many of the above issues to which she ignored. I had a pounding headache and my mother developed a chronic cough within a few hours of being in the home. I ended up having to take her to emergency. X rays showed she developed a chest infection. She was in and out of hospital and only coughed when in the house. I hired an environmental company to check for Black Mold. I tried to stick it out and get through the month I paid for but was forced to move my mom out after a couple weeks and I finally gave up and rented a hotel for myself the last week. Owners live in Illinois and have multiple rentals. Slumlords!
