Owner's Response: I would like to thank you again for staying with us. I'm sorry you did not find your stay to be worthy of a 5 star rating. I am a bit confused as to some of your comments because my family stayed in the house just prior to your arrival. There was not a mildew smell upon our arrival or departure, nor were there fruit flies in the garbage disposal. I did email the renters that arrived just after your departure and this is the response I received from them: "We are having a wonderful week the house looks great , we haven't noticed any mildew smells. Thanks Donna" I did speak with the cleaning folks as well, and they bleach the sink each and every time they clean the house. The garbage is unfortunately placed in the garage due to raccoons, if you leave it outside they will make a mess and it is not much fun to clean up. I have been upgrading our home since we purchased the property back in 2003. If you read through the reviews, you will notice many past customers referencing the many upgrades to the house. There is not much of a need for lighting during the day as the shades are usually closed due to the sunny days. All of the lighting in the house is new, some of which are on a dimmer switch. I'm sorry you have decided you would prefer not to stay with us once again in the future. Approximately 50% of the weeks I book a year are by repeat customers. I think this tells the real story. Thanks again for staying with us, I appreciate the feedback and will do everything in my power to make sure no one else is having a bad day or week, and to make sure they have the best time possible in our home.
