Lake Gaston and cove location were great with easy check-in. The host reached out. There was a nice fire pit, firewood and good dock.The house condition did not match the high ratings. It’s in need of a deep cleaning and basic maintenance/repairs. The exterior windows, eaves, and deck were covered in heavy dirt, cobwebs, and/or algae, and the back handrail was covered in bird droppings. Inside, some bed sheets were stained, shower curtain was moldy, the shower drained very slowly, and the grill, kitchen cabinets, and drawers needed thorough cleaning. We couldn’t find potholders. Several safety/maintenance issues: both bedroom doors could not be closed or latched, one bedroom doorknob was falling apart, the half bath door does not latch, and that bathroom is missing a normal light fixture. Many electrical outlet receptacles are very old, worn,unsafe. We avoided using the ceiling fans as they shook loosely and were noisy/dusty. Additionally, the lot is pretty sloped rather than level as advertised. Major disappointment since my daughter is diabled.Outdoor amenities: Fire pit chairs, front porch table/chairs were covered in dirt. The advertised canoe was missing, 2 kayaks were dirty, had broken seats, and had active wasps. Due to the overall poor, disappointing condition of the property, we left a day early and chose to forego spending our limited vacation time messaging the host about problems, coordinating needed repairs, and being interrupted by cleaning crews.
