We rented this home for a family gathering to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately, the property did not reflect the condition presented in the listing photos, and our experience was disappointing.Upon arrival, we observed several maintenance issues on the exterior, including an unkempt appearance, a broken cellar door, and storm doors that had been secured with duct tape. The overall first impression was quite different from the listing.Inside the home, we found several housekeeping and maintenance concerns. These included a dirty oven, a rug in the sunroom that appeared soiled, dead plants, a sunroom door that was not usable, and a dryer that was still full of bath towels and kitchen towels when we arrived. These observations made us question whether the home had been fully prepared for incoming guests.During our stay, the area experienced several inches of heavy rainfall, causing flooding throughout the region. While this weather was obviously beyond the host's control, we also noticed water leaking from around a recessed light fixture. We decided to leave one day earlier than planned.I contacted the host throughout our stay. She responded promptly to my questions and communicated professionally. She also refunded the cost of our final night after we departed early, which I appreciated.However, I believe future guests should know that, in our experience, the property's overall condition did not match the listing photos.
