We fully understood that we were renting a rustic cabin and did not expect luxury accommodations. We have rented cabins on the Chain O’ Lakes for years and were simply looking for lake access, shelter, a place to sleep, and a functioning restroom. However, a rustic property should still meet basic standards of safety, sanitation, functionality, and privacy.The cabin had exposed electrical components that raised serious safety concerns. The bathroom provided virtually no privacy because the walls did not reach the ceiling, sounds traveled throughout the cabin, and the door had no proper handle or functioning lock.The stairs leading to the lake were also unsafe. Several concrete steps were loose and wobbly, and on multiple occasions the concrete shifted beneath our feet, requiring us to catch ourselves. This could easily result in a serious injury, particularly for children or anyone with mobility concerns. The adjacent railing was partially held together with electrical tape, raising further concerns about whether it could support someone during a fall.Finally, we were required to pay 500 to rent Chad’s boat even though we brought our own. The boat was in extremely poor condition and appeared not to have been cleaned or maintained for years. It was covered in what appeared to be extensive black mold, including the seats, flooring, and steering wheel, making it unsanitary and unusable. We have included photographs documenting its condition.
