The condition and cleanliness of the house left much to be desired. The house was in serious need of a deep cleaning and QC. We found debris, and dead and living bugs in many corners of rooms, on floors, under furniture and beds, in the kitchen sink cabinet, in bedroom light fixtures, bathroom, etc. Only one stove top burner got red hot, making cooking for our large group of adults and children considerably more difficult. Host did nothing. Many lightbulbs were missing throughout the inside of the property, including in the downstairs bathroom where a flickering light fixture posed a persistent annoyance and several of the bathroom vanities. An uncovered/open outlet in the dining room was extremely dangerous, as two infants were able to access it and play with it. Two seemingly discarded, derelict, ripped upholstered chairs, one with matching hassock, were on the outside lower patio, both are an eyesore and a health hazard, more suitable for a homeless encampment. An area rug’s long edge in the main floor nook was very curled and raised, a trip hazard. Etc.
The advertised 7th bedroom had a dilapidated and unusable, ripped and broken, futon, which created a great inconvenience for us since we were counting on its use. We payed considerably extra for a house with a 7th bedroom. Host did nothing.
Basic standards of cleanliness, functionality, and safety were not met.
I was very embarrassed to hold our family reunion at this house. Thankfully, the weather and lake were good.
