This property was not anything like what the pictures showed. The house is 2 story and the upstairs is a separate rental which created noise and activity. There are other rentals stacked next to the house and all share the same driveway and parking which was difficult. Arriving there, the front porch and all bathrooms had roaches and bugs in them. The bunk room had wasps in it and had several live wasps in the house throughout the weekend. The kids that slept in that room also had bites all over their arms and legs from the beds. The supplies were limited, and didn’t even have laundry soap for the washing machine. The house is listed as non-pet approved property but has a cat that lives on the patio (not mentioned). It was expensive and not worth what we payed. We will not rent again.

Kimberly, we are so sorry to hear your comments and are very sorry for the troubles you experienced. Had we been made aware at any time during your stay, we definitely would have rectified. We do believe the listing is quite accurate in portraying that there are 6 total rentals onsite and we've never received comments about the proximity of each, as they are spaced well apart. Regarding the bugs - ESPECIALLY wasps - we would have definitely taken care of that for you, as we had no idea that there was an interior issue and have not been able to locate any nests since your departure, so if you're able, please text us more information so we can take care of that. In regard to the cat, we did inherit her as the local stray when we bought the property and cannot get her to leave - most of our guests find her charming, but we are sorry she created a headache for you. I'm saddened to hear that you won't be back, but please know that we will use your feedback to continually improve the experience for our future guests. Again, had we known about any of these issues during your stay, we would have worked tirelessly to rectify.
