I am leaving this low star review so the owner can see how something so simple and cheap, can go a long way for travelers. We stay at VRBOs all over the place, including other counties, so we know what to expect from a good one. Overall the place was okay, didn't leave with that feeling that is was great because of some minor issues. Bed were comfortable, no cable TV wasn't a big deal bc there was a smart TV and we don't watch much TV, but for some people that might be a big deal. Location was good.
This one could be great, but its sort of not. Here's the basic issues that need to be addressed:
1) Lighting - Get some table and floor lamps for the downstairs living room, i cant believe ive seen someone else post this same thing, without anything done about it. Its either extremely bright or super dark in there. $50 and this problem is solved.
2) POTS AND PANS!! - With all the great appliances and things in the kitchen, the pots and pans are some of the worst ive ever seen in a rental. Its basically like a camping gear set.
3) Extra blankets & throws - Sometimes someone is a little chilly on the couch or deck, and doesn't want to take the blanket off the bed to relax. Get some of these
4) That locked door from the garage to the upstairs living room - There was some key pad lock in the garage that was locked, no code was provided to us to unlock this, and it goes up the stairs to a locked door in the living room. I would have loved to have had access to get groceries and unpack things from the car this way and not through the cold outside. Provide your renters access to this door.
5) 10:00 am checkout time - 11:00 am checkout time is the standard time for all lodging, whats up with this extra hour. It made leaving a bit frantic bc of being rushed.
Overall, thanks for the lodging but we will not stay here again.
